Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:
Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer....― nabisco (nabisco), Saturday, June 14, 2003 1:28 PM (fourteen years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

As part of a plea deal, one of former President Donald Trump's attorneys has told prosecutors in Georgia that she was informed in the wake of the 2020 election that Donald Trump was "not going to leave" the White House -- despite the fact that he had already lost the election and most of his subsequent challenges.The revelation, along with others, came during a confidential interview the attorney, Jenna Ellis, had with Fulton County investigators. ABC News has obtained portions of videos of the proffer sessions of both Ellis and Sidney Powell, two attorneys who aided Trump's efforts to overturn the election.

I was in an eaterie a few months ago (in Wall Drug in fact), and the two TVs on the wall were respectively tuned to Fox News and Truth Social. Both seemed to be talking about Hunter Biden's laptop a lot, in fact endlessly. Possibly the target market for this new addition to the media landscape don't, in fact, give a flying one about 'the laptop', but that seems to be what they get.

i don't think the times is biased toward trump in any way, or that they ever minimized his danger. people who get their news from the times are aware of how horrific he is. the issue is that the people who support him do not get their news from the new york times. they live in a completely different media ecosystem and are exposed to a completely different set of facts. the new york times going harder on him would not effect anything at all -- he would still have his supporters. xp
― treeship., Tuesday, 14 November 2023 03:10 (three weeks ago) link
the "normalization" discourse was always dumb. it was clear to anyone who wanted to see who he was, and this was always reported in the mainstream press as far as i can see. perhaps sometimes they were softer on him that i would have been, or something, but the point is this is not why he has the base he does. his supporters watch things like newsmax.

i think they did in 2016 too. the reason hillary's "depolorables" remark stuck and this much worse "vermin" one won't is because the latter is drowned out by a million other horrific things he says or does. it's nothing to do with unbalanced coverage the way that tweet up there implied.

The NYT, yes, opposes Trump, but like many liberals and lib types it has no idea how to deal with a pathogen that doesn't acknowledge the paper's hegemony and mores, thus they way too often minimize the threat.
