NEW STUDY: Broadcast, cable, and print outlets have given Donald Trump calling his enemies "vermin" a tiny fraction of the coverage they gave Hillary Clinton's 2016 remark calling some Trump supporters "deplorables" https://t.co/714GhRMcFw pic.twitter.com/PCCmMUvFgU

There’s an extremely loud 30% of the country that’s pro-Trump, anti-choice, and anti-trans. They’ve convinced a lot of people they’re half the country but they’re not. They’re 30%. https://t.co/kLiN4zUUmB

DeSantis crashing and burning shouldn’t just be seen as an embarrassment for him.

Please don’t forget the reporters and news organizations who ignored his cruelty and bigotry as they desperately tried to make him seem legit.
Hell Axios fired a reporter for standing up to him.
The asymmetry in American politics is really astounding. Dems get hounded by media and centrists and opponents about whether they'll govern in a bipartisan fashion, and conservatives are out here promising tribunals https://t.co/6VlXHamXu6

Were I a mainstream political reporter, I might reflect on the fact that MSM complicity is a core feature of the Republican strategy, without which they likely wouldn't try it & almost certainly wouldn't succeed.

The obvious bottom line gets lost: The President of the United States spurred on multiple extremist groups to undertake sedition against the country. And he's running to be president again.

A note to all of you journalists who have or who plan to write pieces about how DeSantis is the smarter, more polished, more restrained alternative to Trump. He’s none of that. https://t.co/HuZrGmoEug

Anyone actually paying attention to Right Wing ideology and developing factions saw this GOP schism coming a mile away.

It’s probably a good time to start asking why the people paid dump trucks worth of cash to cover politics don’t see this stuff.
Remember in 2016 when everyone started going to midwestern diners to try to figure out what Trump voters were thinking, I hope there will be a similar period of reflection where journalists look for people who care about democratic norms and bodily autonomy.

Nancy Pelosi is 82. She just led House Democrats to an unexpectedly good midterms outcome. Media’s first question is when she’ll retire.

Mitch McConnell is 80. He just led Senate Republicans to a humiliating defeat. Not one question about when he’ll step aside.
The one grudge that I will never let go of is the grudge I hold against my fellow reporters who treated Hillary Clinton's Emails as the single most important issue facing voters in 2016.

They did immeasurable harm to their country during a time of extraordinary peril.
Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

Political media: “Fetterman needs to prove in tonight’s debate that he’s fit for office.”
We would be a very different country if the press did its job.

I’m at 31 campaign stops today. In virtually none of them has the press pushed the Republican for where they stand on ending/cutting/privatizing Social Security & Medicare. So the candidates just avoid the issue.
Media please do your homework. Esp Sunday shows. If you’re gonna “both sides” Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan, then you must ask guests about PPP loans (did you or anyone in your family get one? was it forgiven?); Farmers’ bailout, auto bailout did you oppose them?

Worthwhile again to remember: when these hearings started, there was WIDESPREAD commentary abt how "nothing new" was expected to come out of them; they were likely to be mostly "political grandstanding." Commentary now? "Eye-popping," "dramatic," "devastating," "historic."
