This makes me furious.

Good for her.

From the article at the bottom tweet:

 

 

It's telling how many comments in the article from reporters saying that Biden is a boring and fragile old man who must be kept coddled. Olivia Nuzzi, the white supremacist stan, is particularly galling.

Another shining moment from one of the more pathetic Beltway figures (Kim). 

@Vee Even the quotes are enraging. Just shameful. I will always blame the media, above all others, for the slow death of this country.

This certainly makes sense:

Even though it's the New York Times, this Op-ed is still worth the read. And I have the feeling that this only scratches the surface.

Katie Porter (whom I find overrated and performative but who also did not deserve any of this) had her rally attacked by far right groups, groups who attacked elderly people to the point where Porter had to physically shield an elderly woman.

What does the media have to say?

Bothsidesbothsidesbothsides, naturally. 

Watch how many media outlets will use extreme attacks orchestrated here and in school board meetings to try to craft a narrative to simultaneously convince people that the right wing is the majority opinion and demoralize moderate and left wing voters into checking out of politics. They hate this country and will do anything to help the GOP end it.

The tweet is gone now, but Alex Thompson, who spent yesterday reminding everyone that if you're an American who likes soccer you're out of touch, spent today trying to get people mad (I guess???) because the White House listed Eric Adams' occupation (Brooklyn Borough President) instead of (I guess???) mayor-in-waiting, or whatever.

I see that yet another desperate man (some guy at Vox) is giving hatemonger Liz B a podcast to feel sorry for herself. She and her scumbag husband just continue to weave poison everywhere they go. Vox truly has hit the toilet bowl.

Here is Wolf Blitzer, one of the most worthless Beltway hacks, lying about gas prices in DC to try to further pile on to the narrative. The media hates us and hates this country.

The Bernie left which became Do Something Twitter remains certifiable:

I generally agree with some of their points, but the stuff about committees and how if you have committees we will win and if you speak up we will win and look at the Benghazi hearings all feels like circle jerking.

Harper's continues to embarrass itself:

It's been a long time since I've watched anything on CNN, other than a presidential debate, but I noticed that this was trending.
