The MSM are is all about clicks. It is a sad thing but too many people do not want to read articles any more they only read headlines.
There are 34 charges against him and so I'm guessing there is a lot we doln't know. Given the magnitude of the historic event of bringing criminal charges against a former president I am going to take a leap of faith and assume that Alvin Bragg has got the goods on him cause from what I have read about him, Bragg is no fool.
It would however be more appropriate to me if the DOJ had been the first to bring charges over his possession of secret documents, obstructing justice, inciting an insurrection etc. but instead we have an AG who is sadly lacking in his ability to do the job. It could have happened if the special investigator had been assigned from day one. Perhaps now that another has shown him up, Garland will muster the courage to confront trump with his crimes.
Letting trump go unchallenged for over 2 years and grow more and more enboldened has not been a good look for the Biden Administration. After all, Garland serves at the pleasure of the president and the buck stops there.
Loved your media takedown. Totally agree the Right is intentionally missing the point in this case and the Left is helping to spread the Lie with the click-bait headlines. Then the OJSimpson coverage of Trumps motor caravan to NYC today on MSNBC and CNN today, falling into another Trump rabbit hole and he's laughing all the way to the bank. Depressing.
Another fabulous Newsletter on "the Media" and their horrible job at informing America of what is really going on in politics today. The spin seems to cater to Trump and his never-ending victimhood. What-aboutism has taken over. Upsetting the media still faults Hillary for illegal possession of classified documents - which has been proven to be FALSE _ NO classified data was found. Bill Clinton was punished for his consensual affair with Monica. I firmly believe the media is corporately owned by powerful white men in this Country who will do anything to be sure power stays that way. Hillary won the vote by 3 Million yet they never ever give her the credit. They are threatened by a powerful/intelligent woman like Hillary so they choose to ignore her. Interesting observation was when Trump requested his supporters Go Our and Protest his only supporters were thousands of media reporters. Very telling. They are creating the hype and pushing it for clicks. I LOVE when you cover the media - they need much more scrutiny on the games they play and who they favor. I firmly believe we would NOT have Trump if the media didn't give him so much coverage and a huge platform and they blamed Hillary.
I agree it's tiresome. I regret to say it's also tiresome all the repetition to try to make the campaign fraud central because it's so useless. Here it's the mainsteam newspapers who are funded by the very wealthy who may well prefer Trump even now to the least improvement in social justice, public transportation, anything decent at all, or the least hike in their outrageously small taxes.
I would like to add that there’s nothing wrong in my view with a woman being a sex worker if that’s the career she chooses. It’s a tough way to make a living. But so is being a waitress.
“Makes for a juicy headline, it hardly seems worth noting. And a lazy one, too, allowing simple, constantly repeated mantras to replace precise description.”
I’d say this is true of 95% of NYT and Vox and other lefty papers since 2020, especially around race and gender issues. Probably true of Fox and the right side as well but I wouldn’t know cause I don’t read/watch em.
Thanks for the hammer to the head explanation. I knew that, many did, but the theatrics of the Stormy association will probably prevail in this case.
The sideshow to this out of control media frenza, however, is the federal charges that may come from all the threats Trump is making. It is predicted that the judge will set bail, with instructions of behavior. NO THREATS, basically. If Thrump continues his inciteful posts and threats, the judge could revoke bail and jail him.
I would celebrate, of course, but this perceived additional level of "persecution" would open the spout for even more crybaby outrage from the magats. What is needed is for one of the really serious matters to come to trial. And soon.
As the saying goes, we live in " interesting times."
