Eugene Robinson was MIA until recently & he is the only voice I follow at that paper unless someone links to a worthwhile article. Yes the MSM is the responsible party for falling for the propaganda machine & creating such a serious issue which is now totally out of control because of who is in control. Tucker Carlson as VP , anyone ?

You might consider writing to WaPo. I Put that Aaron Blake solicitatioon W/email address, and my response below. I posted it on Heather's letter last week and Jessica Craven's also. These folks all have large dedicated followers who, I hope will at least give Aaron Blake a piece of there mind for the audacity of thinking his mind rot weekly would be of "interest". 100% propaganda for watching the show go by. I am still enraged. Please read my comment below.

the guy I would personally like to strangle (or twenty minutes of painful-but-not-dangerous physical abuse might get the job done) is the person at the NYT who seems to get some kind of charge out of writing headlines that manage to run down Biden even when the actual news stories they're heading have very little mention of Biden, except for the "possibility" that it could backfire. it's politics, not exactly (as above) the fucking Eagle Scouts.

I've been screaming about that too David, over and over on several Substacks. The true position of corporate media is in how they define reality and the discussion by headlines wording and the naming, such as "Freedom fighter" vs. "terrorist" for the same person and event. Yada yada to no avail. I'm sure you understand. This has been evident in my short life since I started reading the paper about People's Park and the Free Speach movement in Berzerkley back in the early-mid 60s. Naming the event or situation defines it.
