He's insane and the corporate media can't deal with it. Blows their whole scam to get him re-elected out of the water. I've said it before and I'll say it again - cancel your subscriptions to the NYT and the WaPo and tell them why in no uncertain terms. Maybe it's time for a boycott of the NYT?

I’ve been boycotting the NYT for several years now. Now I’m boycotting the Washington Post. In fact, I’m boycotting all MSM!

I did it in several steps as well...but I did NYT, MSN, WaPo. All this started after Hillary!

You have to stop hitting your head against the wall and paying for it!

No, the NYT never forgave the Clintons for being self-made sucesses. They crapped on Bill, every chance they got, and then Hillary. They lied us into "W's" war they have been the paper of keeping the status quo for decades.

They have a tendency to hire a few young reporters, that will keep them current, but they generally leave, and only the snobs and hateful ones remain.

David Brooks has been writing the same exact pablum for decades, full of people he imagines exist. (I don't believe he ever really spoke to people when on a Cletus Safari.)

Isn't Jeff Bezos, a democrat ally, the owner of the WaPo ?

Shame on him for allowing so much protection and deference to TFG...like wtf?

Bezos is no Democrat and certainly is no liberal. He's interested in money and power, not journalism, and the Republicans will guarantee him big tax cuts. He brought Will Lewis to the WaPo, and Lewis is the subject of a criminal investigation in the UK with respect to deleting thousands of texts and email in the phone hacking scandals. Bezos can go to hell, along with his paper.

The Guardian has been reporting this. Haven't seen anything in the US media yet, of course.

Daily Beast too, they were publishing it WaPo, but Lewis fired Buzbee over it.

What can we expect from a guy who proudly uses an erect dick as his logo? Musk must have Bezos envy.

No Bezos told the previous editor Sally Buzbee, "No woke stuff." she was hired on the advice on the far right wing Fred Ryan, a Reagan toady who felt the paper was far too liberal. Bezos inherited a great team with the exceptional Marty Baron at the helm. When Baron retired, Bezos made sure to hire someone recommended by Ryan, because he wanted to slant the paper right. (Ironically she was fired by the new publisher for not being far-right enough. She wanted to present "both-sides of the news" And Will Lewis did not want her to print the stories about his misdeeds in the UK when he erased all those emails after being told to keep them for the lawsuit against the phone hacking Murdoch owned tabloid. He is scum.

The only media I trust are the Associated Press and Reuters.

Sorry, but they have both been horrible.

I read the Guardian, but it’s a British paper.

I was very disappointed with Hugo Lowell of the Guardian who wrote that Trump “was very animated” at his press conference. WTF?

I missed that. Lowell is usually very good. The Guardian does have a US edition.

Yes I know, but it’s not an American rag. Thank goodness.

Yes, they don't always get the nuance of the US politics, and even they were starting with the "Bidens old" stuff. I cancelled them over that.

I echo The Guardian enthusiastically.

FWIW, excellent book & arts reviews too.

You might also want to consider the Philadelphia Inquirer. They are expanding their national coverage, and their political columnist, Will Bunch, is terrific. I'm surprised some major paper hasn't poached him.

This is the headline from AP today. They suck!!

“Trump campaign projects confidence and looks to young male voters for an edge on Harris.”
