Andrea ChalupaWhat the @WSJ investigation inexplicably leaves out—while confirming Elon Musk is an unregistered foreign agent of Russia and in violation of the Logan Act—is that Musk purchased Twitter with financing from the children of sanctioned Russian oligarchs. Why wasn't this mentioned? https://p.dw.com/p/4k5FG
The Washington Post is covering up its shameful failure to report on this initially by talking about the backlash. Even in this article, the Post conceals Trump denial, at that same rally, of being a Christian, which would interest many voters.
If the Post's defense is that it's a waste of time to tell us the obvious, that Trump is a non-Christian wannabe dictator, but it certainly wasted our time with breathless reporting on Biden's age, which we also all knew.

You won't find this on the NY Times homepage, but "If Trump Wins" is very much the kind of journalism we need from the most important news organization in America.
If the Times -- and the rest of our news media -- did this kind of thing relentlessly, they'd be doing their jobs.
It's now or never, journalists. You -- and democracy, which makes what you do possible -- are a prime target of the fascists.

He got more time than almost all insurrectionists received
He got more time than Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, and Charles Kushner for tax evasion and for funneling Russian money to politicians
