Aww, isn't that Cute, the NY Times is still miffed about interviews
Aww, isn't that Cute, the NY Times is still miffed about interviews
The Gray Lady really needs to get the fuck over itself.
Look, the major media venues remain in the tank for Trump, barely doing the lightest touch of fact checking the logorrhea that dribbles out of his anus mouth, letting him claim that he had 107K people at a rally, and many other things.
But the feud between the paper of record, and the Biden administration over their snub of nepo-baby Arthur Gregg Sulzburger’s heartfelt belief that his paper is entitled to exclusive access to Biden and now Harris is just ridiculous.
First, they have MAGA Haberman — queen of access journalism — who has to wipe the Cheeto dust from her lips after fellating the Tangerine shitgibbon’s wrinkly nutsack.
But then they have to put out the whine and cheese…
I mean, could they be anymore petulant than this? Seriously, the main stream media has been so outwardly hostile to the Democrats that can you seriously blame them for telling them to go fuck themselves (metaphorically).
Trump is so thirsty for attention that today he announced a snap press conference that was an unmitigated fact free zone full of bullshit. And every fucking outlet booked expensive tickets to get their “A-Team” to Mar a Lago to lap up the putrid bile and santorum that leaked out of the mandarin hippo’s face sphincter.
Perhaps that is why Harris is not returning their calls… The people who need to hear what she has to say, these mythical “gettable” Republicans1, or “independents” are not subscribers to the Times, neither are the center left Democrats, if the number of people who comment when I post something by the Times here who claim to have cancelled their subs.
Ms. Harris replaced a Democratic nominee who has hosted fewer White House news conferences than any president since Ronald Reagan. Now she is taking a similarly cautious approach, relying on televised rallies and prepared statements amid a tightly controlled rollout of her candidacy.
The whine is pretty stringent me thinks.
Uh, in two and a half weeks, she has taken the reins, sown up key Democratic endorsements, snagged enough of the delegates to fend off the only challenge she faced, from Manchin, vetted a Veepstakes and selected a stellar partner, raised initially $310M, and then another $46M after the naming of Tim Walz, and doing 8 campaign stops this week in key swing states, each time bringing down the house, whilst the Mango Mussolini is doing a single event tomorrow in that (checks diary) liberal mecca known as Montana.
Yeah, she’s just a little busy, and she’s not really into you. After your balls to the wall effort to push Biden aside, in the hope of fomenting a riotous convention floor fight that would have yielded a bounty of sales and clicks on your site.
Seriously, go fuck yourselves.
Oh, and the right wing media is also crying foul…
Ms. Harris’s lack of engagement with the media has become a constant rallying cry on the political right, with Republican critics and Fox News stars accusing the vice president of ducking scrutiny. The Harris campaign says it is being thoughtful about how best to deploy its message, and to introduce a new candidate to crucial voters in battleground states.
Look, just because the dead ferret wearing shit-gibbon will stop and drool out his blather whenever there’s a camera, doesn’t mean that is good. In fact, the Times, the Post, and others would be well suited to become more discerning in how much fucking airtime they give low-T Donnie.
Fox News, which carried Mr. Trump’s news conference live, echoed the former president’s attacks, displaying an on-screen headline that read, “Trump Takes Questions as Harris Dodges.”
You know how fucking low the Times has gotten when they start parroting the goddamn Fox News lines.
Jesus tap-dancing Christ, give it a rest.
Just fuck all the way off.
I got a concussion from that eyeroll that typing this triggered!
First off: Geoff, please take care of that eyeroll injury. If you don't give it adequate rest in the form of decent, reasonable written material, a small pull can become a permanent scowl!
I've written lots of comments on the #@&*@#%!! MSM over the last few years, and I've come to believe that they're just not going to write anything positive (or even fair) about Democrats, because except for the corrupt ones in the conservative middle, they won't make the big bucks off of us. So sad (eyeroll!).
Maybe they need to get real about how social media has changed the nature of news, but that doesn't give them license to do nothing but lie and support a particular party. I doubt that corporate owners will change voluntarily, so I imagine that some form of the Fairness Doctrine would have to be instituted. Maybe by the government partially underwriting several? Providing a framework for honest, reasonable, responsible journalism?
What I know for sure is, we need to keep the Senate and the White House, and retake Congress.
And we need to figure out some way to establish a system of news media that people can read and count on.
Without those we'll be unable to get much of anything done at all, AGAIN. STILL. Remember the Obama years? Uphill battles on everything, and the Republikkkans are far more reactionary and unreasonable now than ever before (at least in my lifetime).
That having been said, let’s not forget that it was a lack of interest in being interviewed by the NYT that sparked their war on Biden. So this is standard for their current editor in chief. Just one more thing we’ll have to fight.
