When Trump insults and degrades them in his “press briefings,” flouncing his tiny finger and pleghming out some random, petulant insult, why are they not allowed to talk back?
Couldn’t be that the corporate media heads like their reporters being reduced to amplifiers for Trump’s lies, hate and abuse, could it?
And, of course, there are those follow-up questions that the C-suites apparently forbids.
Dan Froomkin at Press Watch points out that the Times’ hit piece on Mamdani is just more of the same. The news room constantly skews stories right. It is “constantly under pressure from its leaders”–news editor Joe Kahn and publisher A.G. Sulzburger– “to prove that it is not taking sides in politics — or democracy, for that matter. And because printing the truth is seen as punching right, that requires expending a lot of effort to punch left. Punching left becomes the holy grail.”
The Times is seriously compromised. They helped get G.W. Bush elected and then helped perpetuate Bush/Cheney’s lies about Iraq. They helped get Trump elected twice. Their pro-developer skew on NYC land-use issues is egregious; their attacks on Mamdani being proof if any more is still needed.

The Dems had better keep standing up and assigning blame where it belongs.
as they weaponize Americans against our own survival.
MAGA is so apocalyptically sick that Kandiss Taylor, running for Congress in Georgia, sees no downside in denying the existence of the Texas floods.
We must demand answers: why did no one in the White House, let alone Biden himself, rebuff Trump’s daily howling attacks and defamation?
Does this not demonstrate conclusively the futility of legislation without messaging?
As America floods and burns, and the federal government under Trump declares it will practice democide at will, refusing emergency relief aid, obliterating accurate weather forecasting, the Democrats must finally find the voice to tell America who is responsible.
will be the final nail in its coffin–that is, if corporate ownership like Disney and Paramount don’t first nail it shut themselves.
or the contorted dogma that she labels as such, is fully on view as she votes to rip health care from 250,000 of her constituents.
The Dems have got to start calling out the way that politicians like Sen. Blackburn exploit Christianity as alibi.
The Republicans are now going to spin–they’ve already started–their savage attacks on Americans health care by claiming their gutting of Medicaid is a result of “illegals” being covered by Medicaid–which of course they are not.
