It’s kind of a case of why buy the cow when you can milk it for free. The ones who are capable of reflection – minority to be sure – realize that any programs “the libs” come up will include them, no mater what insults they hurl. After all, has Biden promised aid only to the states that gave him electoral votes the way Donnie Two-scoops has? ---

The day after a former POTUS is indicted on several federal charges, a historic first, the Fox News main page has decided it isn’t newsworthy. Leading story is “No Holds 'Barr’ed: Former Trump AG addresses Hunter investigation, Biden bribery probe shutdown allegations”. Down the page a bit you can find “Former President Trump issues fiery response to Biden DOJ indictment”. And we wonder why the right lives in such a confused state. ---

This is basically news malpractice. They used to pretend they were “fair and balanced”, but they don’t even pretend anymore. ETA: Even the NY Post has it as the main story, as does the WSJ. What are the other right-of-center papers and news sources? Chicago Tribune? Also on the front page. ETA 2: I guess it’s only the WSJ editorial page that’s really right wing. ---

Even Breitbart has it as the main story, although their headline is: Peak Witch Hunt: Feds Indict Trump Yes, I looked at Breitbart. Sometimes I need a good laugh. ---

USA Today doesn’t even mention it in today’s paper, and Friday is their weekend edition. Meaning either they’ll be covering a 3-day-old story on Monday, or they just won’t mention it at all. I’m sure it’s because they went to press before the news broke, but come on. What a garbage newspaper. EDIT: I’m sure they have it on their website. I was talking to my dad today and asking if he read anything interesting in the paper this morning. He had no idea what I was talking about. I then chided him about canceling the New York Times; I have no doubt they have wall to wall coverage in their print edition today. ---

I was contrasting it with a real newspaper like the New York Times, who almost certainly has the story plastered all over the front page of their print edition today. ---
