    For some reason, I still don’t see anything about the unfolding scandal of donBALD’s little Arlington stunt. Nor any context about how he and other cons likely set up an incoming administration for difficulties in pulling out of Afghanistan.

    This is a choice.

      You have to go one step further - if it’s a choice, it’s a choice by a certain class of people who are actively endorsing the idea that with a certain amount of wealth-status, comes immunity from the law.

      That’s class warfare.

        There are probably more than a few people in the trenches that were taught that being “fair” in journalism means being “objective”, which means trying to somehow both-sides anything and everything, no matter how distorted that is.

        So if they downplay (or don’t even bother to mention) a huge scandal like donnie breaking the law to try to smear Kamala with Afghanistan - which again, they provide zero context on THAT, either…it’s only being “fair” to Republicans, because they likely cannot find anything equivalent on the Democratic side to provide a false “balance” and “objectivity” to reporting on donnie breaking the law…and of course, the ownership class, as you point out, is not going to do anything to disabuse them of this stupid notion of “balance” and “objectivity”.

    “It’s interesting that Trump’s handlers keep insisting on muting him, despite the candidate himself saying the opposite,” Harris spokesman Ian Sams said. “Why won’t they just do what the candidate wants?”
