if i ran lion news, the mythical liberal fox, we would have segments today talking about the white house's "staffer" excuse - "does this mean a foreign adversary has access to the trump social account? or that the president has either dementia or a rogue staffer, meaning theres a security problem"

theres this idea that trump is a master manipulator, carefully deploying news stories so one gets covered and another is not. this is nonsensical. its based on the idea that we can only focus on one thing at a time.

the president's comms channels can literally rock world markets and cause international and domestic chaos. so either option: he's intentionally posting racist stuff (my belief) or he's so reckless he's allowing rando staffers to post racist shit that stays up for hours (the white house spin)

The NYT changed the entire framing of this story from earlier, when many of us were critical. Referring to something Trump did a âblatantly racistâ is as direct as it gets.

I'm sorry when was AOC a "left-wing agitator?" She was an elected member of congress. She didn't harass fellow members like MTG did/does. Is being left of Pelosi considered being an "agitator" by the NYT's? Does Kellen know what being a "left-wing agitator" means?

It's simple really, when it's outrage over some obvious and quickly corrected slip from a Democrat it's genuine and must be covered on a minimum of 3 front pages, when it's outrage about the President on yet another gutter racism jag, it's fake and will never make the print edition.
