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 ..

I’m happy to take the silver lining of establishing the precedent of holding equally culpable spouses equally accountable.
Many such cases in Trumpworld.

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?

Maybe the reason MAGA thinks everyone in the world is a predator and a pedophile is because they are surrounded by predators and pedophiles within their ranks.

That can't be true though because the Journalists have lectured us about how top down mandates from owners aren't a thing in our media establishment and what coverage gets pushed is totally organic
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Journalists at big outlets think it’s hilarious how DHS is trolling the libs with their “edgy humor”
It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

This is literally every parent's nightmare. The fact that these idiots don't realize that is so telling.
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

From the perspective of the average person in universe, Star Wars is the story of Count Dooku warning everyone Palpatine was a tyrant and being tragically ignored the misguided old Jedi companions he was forced to take up arms against, only to be vindicated upon death.

Don’t worry, the media has learned from these incidents that they need to give a fairer shake to the mouth breathing lunatics seeing human trafficking around every corner except their own
There are a lot of unsettling parallels with this and the satanic panic. Folks would do well to learn more about it

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

I mostly think the regulations people here envision will be as successful as the US Government’s attempts to regulate strong encryption
The problem with stories like this is that "regulations" can mean very, very different things to different people. It's easy to say "regulate AI." It's extremely difficult to come up with actual regulations that won't kick off another partisan shitshow fight once it gets distorted.
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors
