“'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 Trump’s Mental State
Mike Barnicle’s throw-down Wednesday should open the floodgates: Coverage of Donald Trump’s mental fitness for office is not just fair game. It’s necessary.

"Barnicle continued that Trump frequently says 'deranged' things in public that “you wouldn’t repeat” 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 Vance’s Astoundingly Stupid Attempts to Win Women Voters
They think they can insult women’s intelligence and then win over women voters by pretending to be moderate on reproductive rights. How’s 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, “pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.”
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 mindblowing🤯 as he shows with the altered headlines. It is so obvious for everyone to see. And I feel it gets worse with every day -

@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 — 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 — even when Donald Trump wants to claim the White House — is to remain "fair and balanced" and "neutral."
This despite his own newspaper endorsing Biden in 2020….

Kruse writes,
"I’d 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 president’s 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. …
According to Sulzberger, though, their coverage was merely part of their responsibility to present a 'full, fair and accurate picture” of what was going on with the campaign."

"An elderly candidate’s struggles with memory and inability to grasp basic facts was alarming and they had a duty to press the issue, even aggressively.
But that argument collapses under the lightest scrutiny, because we still have an elderly candidate struggling with memory, unable to grasp basic facts. His name is Donald Trump."

His name is Donald Trump, and how the New York Times has chosen to treat him, his age, his mental decline and unsuitability for office, in contrast to how it's treated Biden, is glaringly different.
"So, no, the New York Times has not been treating both candidates equally.
Despite Sulzberger’s protestations, they’ve had a heavy thumb on the scale all along — it’s just that it’s been for Trump rather than against him."

"My blood boiled while I read this man’s [i.e., A.G. Sulzberger's] endless piece on what WE should be doing to protect press freedoms, when HIS own failing newspaper has abandoned the fight by very intentionally refusing to properly cover, and give proper editorial weight to Trump and his revolting party's ongoing attack on the truth, our vote, and our democracy."

"Their despicable lack of reporting and absurd, both-sides bullshit on these critical issues has been absolutely breathtaking. They have literally surrendered wide swaths of their news hole each day in this “quiet war” to include authoritarian talking points, and right-wing conjecture that simply have no place in fact, and serve nobody but the fascist scoundrels who mean our democracy harm."
