This makes my blood boil. I remember during Trump 1 how the media and economic experts fluffed the Trump economy. It seemed like markets kept it afloat just for him despite the facts on the ground.
Ioannis Ziogas@ziogas.bsky.social · 3mo agoToday's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.
I'd say this is rank hypocrisy, but that would imply some level of personal awareness. And sure, he can't say which presidents but implies everyone knows who they are? Riiight.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoQ: Is hitting power plants is a war crime? TRUMP: I'm not worried about it. You know what's a war crime? Allowing a sick country w/demented leaders to have a nuclear weapon. If I allowed that to happen like 7 other presidents- many of them say off the record they should've done this a long time ago
I love the satire pieces at McSweeney’s, but it’s also fantastic that they provide this running list of Trump’s evils.

European governments, please don't let his pressure campaign change your minds. He must be told "no" and forced to live with whatever consequences result from his "excersion."

I read an article with the title “Why covid-19 is ‘a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one’”, and as I read the article I could not help but think that its title should have been “why you should still be wearing a mask.”
This is indistinguishable from other countries where a dictator is using military forces to attack people and remain in power.

John Rogers@johnrogers.bsky.social · 11mo agoIt's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
I can't decide if the government's argument or the NYT's credulous coverage is more farcical.

These questions are much better than the ones Trump typically gets, but I can imagine his response to all of them. One thing he is good at is deflection. I question the value of interviewing him at all unless the interviewer is willing to spend the entire time breaking down his first lie.
Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · 11mo agoConfrontation is the only way any journalist will ever start chipping away at the key, underlying questions about Trump that the public deserves answers to. Among them: Is he delusional, or is he a liar, or is he both? presswatchers.org/2025/11/cbss...
