#NYTimes top two stories are about Trump and Patel firing perfectly competent gov officials to installloyalists.

But they never use the words "purge" or "loyalist". And they certainly never use "dangerous" or "unfair". And, of course, they never present analysis comparing this to other authoritarian regimes.

This centuries old village was destroyed by #ClimateChange - a critical fact rather buried in the story. Even people in the mountains won't be safe.

Great that #BBCNews covers this, but

How many stories do we get about "Musk to leave gov interference"? Yet, he still keeps showing up.

#NYTImes editor: What a tough news day. Which do I make the top story?

- That a federal court rules that the POTUS's entire foreign trade policy is unconstitutional (the policy causing months of financial and diplomatic turmoil)

OR

- That the Sec of State *says* he is going to target certain foreign student visa (a thing he's done for months already)

Let's go with the one promoting the MAGA narrative to avoid trouble.

Another classic example of media rightwing bias.

This story on ending the #TwoChildBenefitCap

- First paragraph says it will "cost a lot of money" (quoting the Education Secretary)

- Last paragraph says it will lift 470,000 children out of poverty (quoting the Resolution Foundation)

Dear #BBCNews

Maybe people would better understand the criminal sentence if you referred to this as a "violent tweet", not a "racist tweet".

The judge is clear that the sentence was directly tied to her incitement to violence (eg, burning down migrant hotels).

Hey ChatGPT. Write a scathing story on Trump corruption, but in the #sanewash style of the #NYTimes. So, don't use the word "corruption" and frame the headline like it's about public reaction.

There's a word for "monetizing" political office. It's "corruption", yet the Times won't use it in the headline or subheading.

And what story do we get? How muted public outrage is - not about how Trump's open attacks on media, universities and lawfirms helps suppress resistance. SMH

"Who won a seat at.. Dinner" not "Who are the corrupt people buying secret access to the POTUS"

No wonder a convicted sexual assaulter, business fraudster and insurrectionist could win on a dictatorial platform
