We don't know because all three outlets have declined to publish the documents — or excerpt a single sentence."

Major outlets change standards for hacked emails, protect Trump

For weeks, major American media organizations — including The Washington Post, Politico, and the New York Times — have possessed internal Trump campaign documents. What do these documents say? We don't know because all three outlets have declined to publish the documents — or excerpt a single sentence.

"None of the outlets even acknowledged that they had been sent the internal documents until after the Trump campaign publicized that it had been hacked by the Iranian government. ...

This is a much different approach than the Washington Post took after hackers connected to the Russian government leaked internal emails from Clinton campaign officials and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)."

"Politico made a different judgment in 2016. ...

The New York Times' approach was quite different in 2016, when it published at least 199 articles about the stolen DNC and Clinton campaign emails between the first leak in June 2016 and Election Day."

"Something remarkable happened in American politics over the last two weeks. A major party candidate for president suffered what can only be described as an emotional break or medical emergency that resulted in a sudden acceleration in the deterioration of his already deteriorating cognitive abilities and further loss of control over his delusional impulses."

"But you wouldn’t know it from reading the stories in the major media outlets—that are obsessing over horse-race polls and debate prognostication....

After his Saturday speeches, Trump posted the worst fascistic, ugly, megalomaniacal threat ever made by an American politician. He threatened to prosecute his opponents if he wins the 2024 election."

"The election hasn’t occurred, and he is planning to jail people over fictional cheating. He is using fascistic threats to dissuade eligible voters and election officials from engaging in the election process by suggesting that they will be 'sought out, caught, and prosecuted'—as if the legal system is his personal instrument of revenge."

"The combined effect of Trump's speech and post on Saturday should have been a watershed moment for journalists covering politics in America. ...

So, on a day when Trump's preemptive threat to jail election officials for non-existent fraud should have been the lead story with 48 POINT FONT, the Times placed itself at the center of the universe by highlighting its poll and declaring that its outlier results were correct, and all other polls were inferior."

Which is why I stopped reading the NYT. They have capitulated into being the best fascist bootlickers they can be.

@JasonON I agree. I read them only very selectively, and have never subscribed or wanted to do so.
