Yes. Unfortunately Peter Baker has been one of the most incorrigible sanewashers of Trump. His practice of neutrality theatre has enabled Trump. His FrontPage blog “White House Memo” has been difficult to stomach with fascism on the march.

This is propaganda spread by 3 @washingtonpost.com journalists.
FACTS:
1- DOGE is not a government agency
2- There is NO LEGAL BASIS for Musk’s cyber criminals to access any of this data.
3- The intention is to destroy government oversight not “efficiency”

Media ownership is agenda and narrative-making power.
Latest example of the degradation of the @washingtonpost.com by Jeff Bezos’s Will Lewis/David Shipley: no @anntelnaes.bsky.social
but WaPo editors promoting opinions of yet another right wing columnist: Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito.

Is there any significance or historical context to this ambiguous “uncharted territory”?
This “territory” is a #ConstitutionalCrisis and an authoritarian setting the stage for having unchecked control of the most powerful military force in history to abuse on Americans and around the world.

Hi @unbonfromage.bsky.social
We’re asking journalists to stand up for truth and accuracy. Please improve your coverage.
There is no “Department of Government Efficiency”.
There is an assault by a cabal of random folks anointed by Elon Musk assaulting our institutions and violating the law.

Democracy is assaulted in broad daylight and @peterbakernyt.bsky.social is indifferent. “Neutrality theatre” is a 4th estate failure.
NB: Peter is given the @nytimes.com #FrontPage prestige/power by 6th generation media oligarch AG Sulzberger.
Peter - a “coronation” is antithetical to democracy.

It as if the subject was a character on a play, rather than an unqualified disturbed man who would be tasked with making decisions that would determine the fates of millions and human history.
The degree of whitewashing is perverse and undermines the credibility of the NYT leadership.

Trump is dangerously #unfit but corporate media refuses to report on that core issue.
His fitness should be a recurring theme as news orgs cover the latest outrage and insanity.
Do not become numb to the abnormality of this.

The Trump-nominee to be the head law-enforcement officer of the US credibly broke laws.
Media failures:
-not question Trump’s judgment to even nominate unfit Gaetz
-erase full GOP support for Gaetz
-normalize his unfitness
-no quotes / accountability from Trump
