Another example of "privileging the lie" here, this time by Newsweek: a very misleading title alleging "Tim Walz 'Did Something Wrong in Service'" where the only "evidence" is a disgruntled former soldier who commanded Waltz, felt hard done by. He can't even say what Walz supposedly did wrong, yet that becomes the title of the article. https://www.newsweek.com/tim-walz-did-something-wrong-service-former-command-sgt-major-1936798 #TimeWaltz #PrivilegingTheLie #Newsweek #biasedReporting #USpol #USpolitics

The New York Times, instead of calling out JD Vance’s blatant lie about Tim Waltz, decided to run with the headline: "Vance Attacks Walz's Military Record, Accusing Him of Avoiding a Tour in Iraq." Come on, folks. You're better than this. (Or maybe you’re not.)
Media critic Jamison Foser calls this "privileging the lie": https://www.findinggravity.net/p/breaking-the-new-york-times-helps #NewYorkTimes #privilegingTheLie #JDVance #TimWaltz #JamisonFoser #news #USpol #USpolitics

@mastodonmigration #PrivilegingTheLie is a good formulation and I'm hashtaging it for you.
