Sarah Scire reports that publications endorsing Harris, including the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Guardian, are capitalizing on the controversy Jeff Bezos has caused by yanking a Washington Post endorsement of Harris.

"But you want to know something that is true? Just last month, Donald Trump declared at a rally that 'the people that surround [Harris], they’re scum—they’re scum—and they want to take down our country. They’re absolute garbage.'
That really did happen.
And you know who just analogized America—the entire United States—to a 'garbage can' in his 'closing argument' to voters?
If you guessed Donald Trump, you’re right."

Lincoln Project helpfully provides us with a beaucoup of times when the Garbage Can Man Trump has called Kamala Harris' supporters — and America itself — garbage.
I'm continuing to hashtag New York Times and Washington Post as I post this item because both media outlets should be royally shamed, though they're evidently well beyond shame.

@wdlindsy Someone posted (somewhere) a message for Mark Cuban, asking him to start a newspaper and hire those who have left their jobs.
I'd subscribe. (We're still trying to figure out what subscriptions to start next year.)

"Donald recently called America 'the garbage can of the world,' and this is what he had to say about actual human beings back in September:
'The people that surround [Kamala Harris]—they’re Scum. They’re scum. And they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.'
Good to know.
We’re five days out. The media keeps getting it wrong."

To be consistent with Bezos' "perception of bias" logic, the WP editorial board will have to publish nothing but both-sides blather or nothing at all. -

The "Biden Garbage" story is 100% manufactured GOP spin and it is negligent for the MSM to focus on it.
In a world of constant Trump insults, a single Biden statement --- corrected immediately and again condemned the next day -- is no issue at all.
MSM stories are willfully courting bad faith right wingers. No surprise given the recent right wing editorial hires.

@tanquist So it would seem. And that wouldn't really be a departure from what they've been doing for some time now.

@wdlindsy I think in the same way that business schools have failed. There is no consideration for anything outside of the task at hand. And there is no room for principles.

@sheilasmall @xerophile And yet, Biden didn't call Trump and his followers garbage. But I take your good point, delivered with zingy humor.

@xerophile Kudos to you. I have long kept my distance from New York Times, since it has always been clear to me that they are addressing an audience to which I don't really belong, as someone not living in the rarefied circles of coastal elites. I also have found their treatment of LGBTQ issues over many years -- and now, notably trans ones -- often contemptible. The arrogance is a deal-breaker for me as I follow their commentary over the years. I'm with you on WaPo, too.

@jonathanpeterson I agree. Some months ago, I realized that, since I read The Guardian daily as my English-language newspaper of choice (I read online, of course), I needed to help fund them. So I did that and am happy I did so -- and when I can scrape together a few more pennies as an aged retiree, I think I'll add more to that fund!

@jami Thanks for that information. I need to look for more ways not to rely on Amazon now. I've never subscribed to Amazon Prime except when I ordered something on Amazon aned they told me mailing costs would be cancelled if I subscribed to Prime on a trial basis. I subscribed to get the free mailing, and then immediately unsubscribed.
