I am going to criticize any outlet that has a story on a Summer 2023 fundraiser as their main story and threats to suspend Habeas Corpus in "Today's Mix" below. The focus there is on the wrong thing.
the (mainstream) media has been complicit (and honestly in many cases accomplices) in the rise of trumpism and destruction of american democracy

Be my guest but as a regular reader of The New Yorker, I can report that they trash Trump’s policies nonstop and have been writing about his assault on democracy endlessly since 2016…. I would bet that 90% of their subscribers voted against Trump… so I think they know they can occasionally focus on Biden once in a while when new backstage talk becomes available
(It’s a painful read, btw)

Yeah, I mean, none of that really changes my mind.

We're having a separate conversation about how none of the 100 things Trump is doing is getting enough attention because he's flooding the zone with authoritarian shit and the New Yorker has Jake Tapper's book about the 2024 Biden Campaign as their main story.
