In less than a week, the New York Times has posted more than 50 articles, newsletters, podcasts, and whatever else it is the Times publishes these days mentioning a presidential horse-race poll conducted a year before Election Day. Fifty! Individually, none is more absurd than that train funding article — but the total number might be.
And Taylor Taranto? The New York Times still hasn’t told readers Donald Trump inspired his armed visit to Barack Obama’s house. Hasn’t mentioned Taranto a single time, in fact, since its initial report on Taranto’s arrest in June. Not once.
And your plan is to give the crazy nut more attention? I’m glad you’re not the one deciding this. You are literally saying “if it bleeds, it leads”. That’s the opposite of thoughtful journalism.
I think calling attention to the way Trump’s rhetoric is feeding right-wing conspiracies and violence is a necessary step to making the nation safer.
100% agree with this. Well said.
