Authoritarians and their enablers are always demanding these kinds of apologies from people who refuse to bend. Of course he shouldn't apologize, and he won't. www.mediaite.com/media/news/b…

The Times doesn’t care

Eric Trump joining Donald Trump on an official state visit to China is much more corrupt than anything involving Joe and Hunter Biden, yet New York Times coverage indicates the opposite.I show the contrast here, and challenge anyone to explain how it isn’t media bias in Trump’s favor.

I’ve been here a couple of times, the lobby is far from the ballroom.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Nothing is real until it happens to the press

This just comes across as incredibly tone deaf while this administration is starving poor Africans, bombing Iranian children, murdering Central American fishermen, and disappearing immigrants to detention centers and oppressive third countries.

Weird rules of mainstream media: you can't say he's *lying*, and you can't call a particular thing he says *false*, but you can say that the things he says *contradict one another*. That's the objectivity sweet spot. 🙄

I am so sick of the @nytimes.com sanewashing Trump’s lunatic threats of massive war crimes and the destruction of Iran’s civilization as “warning them of more violence” or the “threat of attack.” The other “style” difference is that Trump is completely unreliable. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/u…

Nominally independent media institutions celebrating press freedom by serving canapés to president fake news is some bleak, black comedy but the venue is chef’s kiss
