Look, the Times was obviously unable to confirm at time of publication what the brown liquid that looked like diarrhea and that appeared to have been dumped from an AI-generated jet fighter by the president of United was intended to represent in his mind.
NYT sanewashing extends, apparently, to sparing NYT readers from a description of Trump's literal shit.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970
The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside
Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23
They constantly let America down

The wildest part about the largest protest in American history is that the president’s response was to post a video literally proving the point of the protest.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

#NoKings Dallas. The artist @suecoe.bsky.social gave me permission to have her incredible "Unpresidented" (2017) made into a poster, and it's so powerful, it became a popular one to photograph. I'd point to Sue's name with the hopes that people learn about her work!

The Real Patriots Will Be Marching Saturday—Against the un-Americans
Republicans are calling the No Kings marches the “hate America” rallies. Let’s ask James Madison who really hates America. It’s obvious what he’d say.

It's even worse than this. The subhed will leave the casual reader with the vague impression that he actually has a legitimate claim to it.
Adventures in framing:
Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

One of the biggest and most scandalous cover-ups in recent history is the Trump Administration's handling of the Epstein Files.
What's in there must be so damning that Trump is willing to burn down the country rather than let Americans see it.
