Media coverage of Republicans stampeding to NYC to attack Trump's trial as illegit is marred by euphemism. This isn't just "currying favor" w Trump or "expressing loyalty" or auditioning to be his VP. It's placing Trump over rule of law
Rs are attacking judge, witnesses, prosecutors & trial as illegitimate. This isn't just helping Trump evade the gag order. The point is also to display in spectacle form that their fealty is to him over the rules that make the system function
@GottaLaff. Thank you for posting this must-read article by #GregSargent. I always thought his pieces for the #WashingtonPost were standouts. His incisive coverage has, by and large, been replaced by journalistic gruel.
[The New Republic, DSR]:Finally, Some Good News: New Polls Show MAGA cultist Kari Lake Behind. The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent; Arizona Senate race to the Democratic candidate, Representative Ruben Gallego
Gallego has some of the best, clear-eyed perspective on U.S. Southern border strategy. Good interview. Worth listening to if you can.
The Washington Post is perceptibly tacking to the right. Not as much as the NY Times, maybe, but noticeable. It’s why I canceled my subscription a while ago; it’s a drag to see the Washington Post groveling for right wing clicks, but so it goes in the 21st century.
