"HOW TRUMP MANIPULATED 3 NYT JOURNALISTS TO MAKE A CAMPAIGN AD FOR FASCISM
In advance of Biden’s Valley Force speech — which the AP dubbed his first campaign speech of 2024 — AP spun Trump’s lies about January 6 as just one interpretation driven by politics.
With Biden and Trump now headed toward a potential 2020 rematch, both are talking about the same event in very different ways and offering framing they believe gives them an advantage. The dueling narratives reflect how an attack that disrupted the certification of the election is increasingly viewed differently along partisan lines — and how Trump has bet that the riot won’t hurt his candidacy.
In a WaPo story chronicling how Trump has trained the GOP to love insurrection, Isaac Arnsdorf and Trump-whisperer Josh Dawsey allowed propagandist Julie Kelly to complain about her portrayal without ever noting a number of persistent lies she tells — about which January 6 defendants are held in pre-trial detention, how they’re treated there, and the number of people charged with assault.
“I was being considered an outlier, to put it nicely,” Kelly said in an interview. “Conspiracy theorist or whack job, to put it more accurately, how I was portrayed.”
It described Tucker Carlson at length without describing the depths of his lies (nor the overproduced propaganda piece he did for the first anniversary). It referred to Nazi Timothy Hale-Cusanelli’s views as simple “notoriety for wearing a Hitler-style mustache.” The only thing it affirmatively identified as false is the claim no rioters had guns (and focuses on Darren Beattie’s “conspiracy theory” about Ray Epps rather than his fabricated claims that Thomas Caldwell’s devoted spouse was instead an FBI informant who framed him. In short, it repeated the Big Lie about the Big Lie as an interesting political development, not something it has responsibility to debunk.
Then there’s the NYTimes, in a piece by Michael Bender, Lisa Lerer and Michael Gold. It seems to be a genuine attempt at cataloging Trump’s “brazen” attempt to “cast[] Mr. Biden as the true menace,” the subhead of the piece.
But it proceeded to quote just 31 words of what it calls Joe Biden’s “forceful” speech, before it aired:
A 13-word false quote from Trump about his prosecution
30 words of projection from Trump, attacking Biden
A 20-word false attack on Jack Smith
11 more words lying about DOJ, quoted from a Trump fundraising email
Trump’s 3 word celebration of January 6 and another word rebranding convicted Jan6ers
36 words from Trump’s campaign managers attacking Biden (a statement the AP also quoted)
In an attempt to label all this projection, Trump’s 5-word attack on Hillary Clinton
A 3-word attack on Biden that Trump uses in rally signage
28 words of attack on DOJ from Marjorie Taylor Greene
21 words from a Trump supporter at a rally
And they did so in an article talking about the import of focusing on democracy, not on Trump’s false claims about it.
Even including a 33-word quote from Josh Shapiro about how Pennsylvanians have learned to see through Trump’s bullshit and 30 words about the threat of violence, NYT still quoted Trump or his supporters’ false attacks on Biden and rule of law almost twice as much as they did true claims about Trump.
Effectively, it rewarded Trump for telling “audacious” lies. By telling them, he got three NYT journalists to quote his lies about Joe Biden and rule of law over and over and over.
The reason Trump projects his own failures on other people is because journalists never fail to reward him for it, presenting his false claims alongside true ones, leaving the impression that truth is up for debate, that professionals are helpless to discern which of these claims are true.
Trump’s goal is to degrade the very notion of truth. And this kind of journalism only helps him do that".
Read the comments over at Fox News. They say it's the most divisive speech ever in American history. Oh, and that the pustule's maga rallies are so much bigger!! Yee-haw...
The magic missing word is either the f-word or bastard. Moved me to tears, tears I’ve never been far from ever since those four years of misrule by that old orange demon.
Non-fascists across Europe envy us because we still have a regular good man in charge. Not so Italy, Holland, Sweden, Slovakia-- and Marine Le Pen is a frontrunner in France for the first time in her awful life. Also, all those economies are shrinking. UK too. Not ours though.
Best Speech I've heard after the January 6th attack. DING DING DING, BRAVO DARLING PRESIDENT BIDEN... cowards, always in history books, that continue to Fuck around and Find Out! We are a United States! You Un-American in Congress and those living amongst real patriots. We love our country and are sick and tired of the status quo. Biden is on Cool Jamming What a Real PRESIDENT sounds like. Hope for all us Americans no matter the color of our skin, race, religion.
President Biden has much on the table for avg. Folks ahead if given another 4 years. I believe that. Can't wait to see that Speech.
We're used to making fun of Trump saying people had "tears in their eyes" when they met him, but in all seriousness Biden's speech yesterday brought a tear or two to my eyes. Biden is a patriot. Trump is a traitor.
100% true. Joe shows compassion in nearly all he says and does. Trump always rages in anger. He is NOT the best husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend, POTUS. He just isn't any of those things! But Joe's family and friends seem to genuinely like him. His wife adores him. His kids strive to be like him. Trump was raised by an asshole, he became an asshole and his sons are assholes (at least the older one's). Tiffany was smart to mostly stay away from these Trump's. I have a bit of hope for Barron.
I too, still have some hope for Barron. At least Melania, as bad as she is, keeps him out of the public spotlight, and hopefully away from his father, as much as possible.
Ya, I know. But his "Tower" is based in Manhattan. I could have said Mango Madman from Mar-a-Lago too. He probably wouldn't even mention being from Queens because that wouldn't be good enough for him. Fifth Ave Midtown Manhattan would be his claim. But when he was born/raised, it was in Queens.
I believe the Kushners are from Queens as well. Despite Jared being, for all intents and purposes, the Crown Prince by virtue of being married to Princess Sparkletwat, PAB initially fumed at not being able to broker a union with a member of the Manhattan elite and needing to settle for a nuptial alliance with a bridge and tunnel parvenue.
Kick. Ass.

Bingo. The corporate mainstream media protects its own survival by normalizing the Fascisti.
I have that one in tabs tomorrow!

Joe was AWESOME there.
Wow. At his best there.
I haven’t heard how that old orange colostomy bag responded, but I’m told he mocked Biden’s stutter. Keep Klassy!
He did. Showing, once again, that being completely classless is a virtue in Trump world.
See "Serge Kovaleski".
This is not clueless. This is intentional vileness.
The magic missing word is either the f-word or bastard. Moved me to tears, tears I’ve never been far from ever since those four years of misrule by that old orange demon.
Traitorous Piece of Shit, or Piece of Shit Traitor. Piece of Shit can be a noun or adjective, but not traitor.
Stop me, arrrgh!
LOL :)
After a speech like that I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oh yeah, and Donald Trump can fuck himself.
With an oversized plastic wang.
A fresh pineapple would be more appropriate.

This one was a strong message for the Nation.
Right On, Ron.
It was wonderful to see and hear Biden give that
positive speech yesterday. I am so very tired of Trump’s negativism. That orange chatter of weariness.
That was one really GREAT speech Mr. PRESIDENT!
You reminded me why I voted for you once and I can't wait to vote for you again this November.
I'll get my Irish up for you "SIR." That Trump is one sick Son of a Bitch!!
Shouldn't we all call the President "SIR" (you know, just to tick off the future prisoner)? The Mango Madman from Manhattan?

Lol. But Tiffany was the smartest of them all. She married a guy worth more than all the rest combined.
damn dude walked out to hamilton.
i fucking love me some joe biden.
Good job. 👍👍
