Ruh-roh. Among those unhappy with the corporate media and their lie-telling in favor of one Donald Trump is the Almighty Deity:

Why do journalists ignore Trump's mental decline when it's so obvious to the rest of us? Paul Waldman's answer:
"They think Trump acts crazy, but they have decided itâs all an act, and thatâs as far as they need to probe. âŠ
Yet for the last couple of years, they were positively obsessed with Joe Bidenâs mental acuity."

"So it turns out that reporters do not hold a universally applied principle saying that presidents and presidential aspirants should be constantly assessed for their mental capacity. That was just a Biden thing, because reporters create a unique set of criteria to judge each candidate, always claiming that they are applying the same standards to all."
Putting thumbs on scales much?

â'We have a damaged, delusional, old man who again might get reelected to the presidency of the United States,' Mike Barnicle, who served as a longtime columnist for The Boston Globe and other newspapers, said on Morning Joe early Wednesday."

/8Finally: Top Journo Erupts at Media for Ignoring Trumpâs Mental State
Mike Barnicleâs throw-down Wednesday should open the floodgates: Coverage of Donald Trumpâs mental fitness for office is not just fair game. Itâs necessary.

"Barnicle continued that Trump frequently says 'deranged' things in public that âyou wouldnât repeatâ on 'American television' or 'in front of your children.'
'How did we get here?' Barnicle asked. Then he pointed a finger at his media colleagues."

@wdlindsy Similar to the stance: Well, Hamas is evil, wherefore we should not assess it by zivilisation standards.

And, in that same TNR, we have another article about the contempt for women that #Trump and #Vance have:

Trump and Vanceâs Astoundingly Stupid Attempts to Win Women Voters
They think they can insult womenâs intelligence and then win over women voters by pretending to be moderate on reproductive rights. Howâs that for dumb?

Yes, disrespect is apparent.
That's why the Harris & Walz message is invigorating so many. It's time to rise above all the doom & gloom we are being convinced we must fret about incessantly.
EVERTHING IS BAD! I love the Buddhist quote, âpain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.â
I must be an out outlier, but I was raised by parents that stressed decorum & self-sufficientcy.
What ever happened to Rugged Individualism & Stocism?

@wdlindsy Great piece from Greg Sargent!
The Level of bias pro Trump is mindblowingđ€Ż as he shows with the altered headlines. It is so obvious for everyone to see. And I feel it gets worse with every dayâ -

@hope_n_beauty I agree. I like Greg Sargent's commentary very much, indeed. And agree: the level of pro-Trump bias is mind-boggling.

@FrankFrank Excellent points. And what, indeed, happened to rugged individualism and stoicism? If that's the ethos informing the MAGA movement, which claims to be all about preserving traditional values, I'll eat my hat.

@Tontrug I think evil is a word that can be applied to Hamas â and also to Netanyahu's response to the horrific evil attack of Hamas.

@wdlindsy @FrankFrank Reagan transformed Rugged Individualism into the Trickle Up/Tinkle Down theory. It is hard to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" when the rich keep stealing the boots.

Kevin Kruse rightly skewers New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger's claims that the media's obligation in political campaigns â even when Donald Trump wants to claim the White House â is to remain "fair and balanced" and "neutral."
This despite his own newspaper endorsing Biden in 2020âŠ.

Kruse writes,
"Iâd actually welcome an even-handed approach from Sulzberger because under his leadership the coverage in the New York Times has not been evenly balanced at all.
In the early months of 2024, and certainly after his disastrous debate performance in late June, the New York Times was on nothing less than a crusade to highlight the 'age issue' presented by the 81-year-old presidentâs candidacy,"

"taking every single opportunity to call out every stumble or verbal flaw as further proof that he was unfit to run again and to demand that he drop out of the race. âŠ
According to Sulzberger, though, their coverage was merely part of their responsibility to present a 'full, fair and accurate pictureâ of what was going on with the campaign."
