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.
