well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

the NYT referring to "scientific orthodoxy" instead of "science" or "proven facts" or "the truth" is what helps you see that this newspaper is now, & has been for some time, a critical part of the fascist apparatus in this country
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Dear NPR,
You do not work for the president.
You are not his public relations team.
You do not need to try to boost his public image with “preparing to take on the concern,” especially not when referring to problems he has caused or made worse.
Your job is news.
Or at least it’s supposed to be.

Either that is by design, or because the Senior White House Correspondent for CBS News, who has held that position for more than 7 years now, has no idea how to ask "why" questions.

Question is actually: “why did Donald Trump spend hours with Epstein?”
We know he did. Tons of info, pics, videos in the public record. “Did he?” doesn’t move the story.

How many of these has the Times cheered on, though, or both-sidesed, or sanewashed? I'd guess it's well above the halfway mark. Anyone have a reliable number?

Because these homes are government funded and affordable, built so high-ranking military can afford to live where they are stationed. But because Trump administration officials feel they own everything, incredibly wealthy individuals who could easily afford anything get to take what they want.

If you ever wonder what it looks like when the media decides to give scandal coverage, the New York Times ran 45 stories about Hillary’s emails just in the month of March 2015 — more than 18 months before the election.
They could easily do that about just the White House destruction if they wanted
