NYT got shamed repeatedly and with great vigor across the blogoshere for its pitiful stenographing of a tRump SM posting, where attempts at salvaging the story finally settled on a THIRD art. headline that reflected the REAL story: tRump backed out of the Sept. ABC debate and totally confected some BS about FoxNews "hosting" an alternative site and rules. Times reporters fell for it like any rube mark, and then got scorched for their utter stupidity and failed journalism.
There's shite that the MSM just can't get away with now, especially given the stakes in the coming election, and I reckon that there will be several more black eyes administered to the usual suspects before this is over..
I'd actually rather that the blows to the NYT land a bit lower - between their legs. Repeatedly. That's assuming they have something down there to worry about.
Excellent news synopsis.. I can barely read the “other guys” anymore. The RFK jr guy is getting stranger by the minute.. I don’t know if I would have read of this anywhere else, and for folks I know who like him, this information is important.
I wish the RFK headlines would emphasize that this incident took place only TEN years ago. Not when he was a kid whose judgment might be forgivable for even such a detestable act. No, TEN years ago when he was a fully mature adult (albeit possibly with a worm eating his brain).
This is the most egregious thing I have seen the globe print, and they have been racking them up since they reprint so much from nyt and wapo. In addition, this correction/apology doesn’t even provide the entire disgusting story and glosses over their ineptitude and unprofessionalism. Basically the controversy stemmed from the women’s boxing event where an Algerian boxer knocked out the Italian boxer and social media including Elon musk and JK Rowling started slandering her as transgender. It’s transphobic and really bad that real newspapers printed such hate filled garbage. When we start accepting any hate filled rhetoric it threatens all of us. Stand up to transphobic rhetoric and call everyone out when you hear it. We will not be complicit. Defend and protect the marginalized. Furthermore this woman isn’t even trans and just won Gold! It’s just cruel and sick to do this to others. Shame on you Boston Globe!
You know what’s as weird as any Republican but isn’t one? RFK Jr.
As for hot court action: I’m still stuck believing that electorally better a conviction in the court of public opinion than an acquittal in a real court. And better the cases dangling over Trump’s head unresolved than, you know actually resolved and fully disposed of. My prediction is that he just gets ever more unhinged on the run up to the election and/or beyond. So everything that adds to that is OK with me.
Speaking of loosing his grip on things: choosing Vance (because he’s incapable of choosing anything that isn’t a clone); the debate idiocy over the weekend; and the NABJ appearance. I’m not sooo sure that things would have happened a couple of months ago. And the difference isn’t running against Kamala instead of Biden.

I hope so.

Great breakdown. I would venture to say that in between motions, some of the evidence will make its way out of the courthouse.

RFK--is he a fun guy, or is it the fungi?
RFK Sr must be spinning in his grave fast enough to achieve orbital velocity soon.
He's probably wondering how Ethel gave birth to such an asshat.
An additional comment on the failure of MSM this weekend. When I opened the Boston globe yesterday there was an editorial correction listed under some Olympics headlines https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/08/03/sports/editors-note/

Especially since the Italian boxer recanted her charge and completely apologized and changed course `180 degrees on Friday.

Gorsuch channeling Lacavita
with warnings? Bring it!
RfK Jr. is almost as big of an asshole as Donald Trump. Why he even shared such an ugly story is beyond me.
Unfortunately, Chutkan may be ready to rock and roll, but this will not have a happy ending for democracy, the fule of law, or apple pie.

I'm not worried. We'll jump off that bridge when we come to it. I do like the idea of the fool of law though.
Jesus H it never ends...
