This is how the Washington Post refers to General Milley refusing to take part in a violent overthrow of the government
"Admirers say he helped save American democracy. Critics contend he dragged the military deeper into the toxic political fray."
This is getting ridiculous! Or rather reprehensible!
“Geez! This is getting ridiculous! Trump calls for the execution of the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff #MarkMilley and the #WashingtonPost performs a botched poll that is so bad the Post acknowledges it is “an outlier.”
Guess which one leads the news on Sunday?”

![Text Shot: Let’s get the WaPo/ABC poll out of the way, first. The results were simply implausible. They were so bad that Post included this disclaimer:
[A]lthough the sizable margin of Trump’s lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat. The difference between this poll and others, as well as the unusual makeup of Trump’s and Biden’s coalitions in this survey, suggest it is probably an outlier.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/cache/media_attachments/files/111/124/896/187/706/914/small/caa0f61fa9d7a98b.png)

You should read @tzimmer_history's whole thread, but he's coined an important phrase here: "neutrality-theater #journalism." That's what influential outlets like the #WashingtonPost and #NewYorkTimes do: create the appearance of neutrality when they know damn well that the pursuit of truth is not and can never be neutral. We're going to have to save #democracy without the help of elite media. https://mastodon.social/@tzimmer_history/111121545891395027
@tzimmer_history I gave up up on the #WashingtonPost opinion page after their relentless cheerleading for the Iraq invasion. One of the major cheerleaders, David Ignatius, still works there.

When the second surprise solar storm hit, it was oriented in such a way as to cause the motion of Earth’s upper atmosphere to reverse direction.

Hey #WashingtonPost
Instead of yet-another story about cult leader Trump's lead in GOP polls and other candidate's subservience, how about a top story that focuses on what's wrong with the GOP membership?
I mean, a business failure, proven liar, insurrectionist with 91 criminal charges - yet he still tops the polls. No more horse race stories. The most important story is what is wrong with the members of the party?

"Indeed, the Titanic — and, now, the submersible — might be a reminder that the deep ocean is the only resource-rich realm on Earth with the power to keep White men from exploiting it.
There’s a reason many of us Black folk struggle to understand why many White, wealthy folk participate in extreme, death-defying experiences and pay (often lots of money) to experience smallness and powerlessness. It’s a romanticism of peril, of death, as a way to appreciate life — in other words, a privilege. For the poor and the marginalized, the threat of social obsolescence and powerlessness is a lived, everyday reality. No need to pay for the, er, thrill."

NO, the sitting president isn't trying to do this. #WashingtonPost, if you offer a quote like this, please correct the disinformation in it. For the love of god, do better. If he ends up sitting in jail it's b/c of his acts, not Biden's.

“It sets our country up for a bizarre moment, with a sitting president trying to put an ex-president in jail,” Brinkley said. “It’s super tricky. … It is a very fine dance that Biden has to do." NO, the sitting president isn't trying to do this. #WashingtonPost, if you offer a quote like this, please correct the disinformation in it. For the love of god, do better. If he ends up sitting in jail it's b/c of his acts, not Biden's.
They're *starting* with 70 and plan to grow from there. They've already poached high-profile editors and writers from the *Sun* and *#WashingtonPost*. The *Banner* will be a local paper, focusing on Baltimore metro stories. Per #RonCassie in *#BaltimoreMagazine*, the paper won't run a story about the State of the Union address "unless there is a significant Baltimore angle."

The crazy he is spewing about Jack Smith right now is insane and unhinged!

@GottaLaff. I keep going back to this strange -- seemingly laudatory but milquetoasty -- article from 3.18 in the #WashingtonPost. "He was one of the few staffers who appeared to perform his role — no more, no less." I think we're learning what it meant to be "Trump's personal aide and general gofer." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/03/18/walt-nauta-trump-mar-a-lago-documents-witness/

No surprise that #Succession is the show finale the mainstream political press is covering obsessively… as with #SNL, it’s a show that decision makers at these orgs think is important. But it’s not the most watched streaming show by far, nor is #SNL today a show that merits weekly recaps in major newspapers. Leaders at the #WashingtonPost and #NewYorkTimes make choices that reflect their world views — biases — by deciding what to cover and not cover. Goes far beyond TV. #journalism #USPol
