In advance of tonight's debate, my simmering contempt for JD Vance boiled over, so I offer this reminder that none of us should even know who this contemptible little man is. https://www.findinggravity.net/p/none-of-us-should-even-know-who-jd
None of us should even know who JD Vance is

How did this meritless husk of a man end up in a vice presidential debate?

Did you know that on Wednesday Mitch McConnell went to the Senate floor to blast the "cult of personality" his fellow conservative have formed around Viktor Orban?

Probably not! Neither the NYT nor WaPo has published anything about this. But I have! --> https://www.findinggravity.net/p/mitch-mcconnell-blasts-gops-cult

Mitch McConnell blasts GOP's "cult of personality" around Viktor Orban

Seems newsworthy!

Donald Trump threatened to jail me (and maybe you.) The New York Times doesn't care.

Donald Trump threatened to jail me (and maybe you.) The New York Times doesn't care.

It's not great!

NEW, from me: Even while debunking Donald Trump's lies about Haitian immigrants, the news media is privileging those lies and giving Trump exactly what he wants.

How the news media privileges dangerous and hateful Trump-Vance lies

News companies do not have to cover the topics lying politicians want them to cover

NEW: The New York Times has run "opinion roundups" featuring outside writers after each night of the 2 conventions, and after this week's debate. Nine such features total -- and *every single outside writer with clear ideological leaning is conservative.* https://www.findinggravity.net/p/the-new-york-times-republicans-only
The New York Times' Republicans-only Opinion Feature

A regular New York Times opinion feature includes outside writers -- but only conservatives

A new poll finding voters think Donald Trump is a centrist should be a wake-up call for the news media

The news media isn't doing its job

Highly recommended, from @foser. It will make you laugh while also reminding you of some things to be angry about. https://www.findinggravity.net/p/the-trump-musk-alliance-is-about
The Trump-Musk alliance is about their unquenchable thirst for power

Also their hatred of women, trans people, and immigrants. But it has nothing to do with "wasteful spending," no matter what the New York Times tells you.

I wrote about the real explanation for the deepening Trump-Musk alliance: Their shared thirst for power and mutual hatred for transgender people, women, and immigrants. (Not, as the New York Times insists, a mutual interest in cutting wasteful spending.)

New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger’s piece in the Washington Post today is a true and important warning. If he really believed it, the newspaper he publishes would behave differently. https://www.findinggravity.net/p/the-new-york-times-publisher-understands
The New York Times' publisher understands the threat Donald Trump poses. The Times should act like it.

Sulzberger wrote more about Trump & Viktor Orban for The Washington Post than his own newspaper's political desk has in months

There’s a history of the media helping to “swift-boat” Democratic candidates, which is what Vance is trying to do to Walz. @foser explains: https://www.findinggravity.net/p/breaking-the-new-york-times-helps
BREAKING: The New York Times helps JD Vance Swiftboat Tim Walz

Tell the news media not to privilege Republican lies about Tim Walz's military service
