good that they got coverage away from the politics team (chronic bothsiders) and to visual investigations (consistently excellent)
The New York Times states it plainly in display type:
Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

what’d you even want it for, so you and all your scum coworkers could just say it was impossible to tell what happened in it
Hi - I’m a video journalist with @nytimes.com. We’d like to get permission to use this video, would you be able to tell us who the original source is? Thanks!

Worth noting that “Opinionated Lab” here is a former employee of the Young Turks who got fired for being too racist for even them, worked for a pro-Trump “democrat” and traffics in QAnon level conspiracy theories
One of these is not meeting the moment, and being able to pass this test is very important

Once I had a big fight with a young reporter who insisted the details of a shooting differed from my reporting which was based on videos of the incident. I illustrated how his reporting could not be true & he yelled back I’M A REAL REPORTER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES

This is the current front page of the Times. The Washington Post is even worse. Their headlines are privileging the accounts of the administration with a track record of lying as being as valid as eye witness accounts and videos.

Wow, the mushy centrist approach. Never thought I’d see that here on Bluesky
"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

I mean, wasn’t your immediate response to smear the democratic party
I just can’t get over how their immediate response was to smear the victim. No pause for investigation, just dive right into inflaming the situation. I can only assume they’ve been baiting for real violence against ICE and when it didn’t come they just made it up. They want the conflict.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

They like Trump and want to help him. The "this was illegal and awful" editorial they ran this morning means nothing if they coat the front page in stories normalizing this after
The most junior copy editor at the nation’s worst college paper could find a way to squeeze “which killed an estimated 40 people” somewhere into these top 6 grafs of the NYTimes story.
It was a conscious decision to bury it in the bottom half.

Key question by my lights is whether these newsrooms knew Congress wasn’t being notified of the attack
(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

even if you thought the criminal charges against Maduro are legit (they aren't) and justified the capture of a foreign head of state (they don't), what on Earth are the criminal charges against his wife that justify kidnapping her too?
