1. This is a good thread, well worth reading, explaining why people are mad at the Times. But there's a flip side to this: people expect too much of the Times (and journalism in general). They want the Times to save them from Trump. That's what's fuelling the rage.https://twitter.com/gregggonsalves/status/1155465927703629826 …

6. We have all the evidence of Trump's lawlessness that we need (thank in part to the Times & other news outlets). The responsibility for holding Trump in check is with congress, which can be influenced by public agitation. So that's where the focus of energy should be.

7. This is the big lesson of the Trump era. No big institutional force will save the world from Trump. Not the GOP. Not "the grown ups" in administration. Not the Deep State. Not Mueller. Not Pelosi. Not the Times. The only option is political organization and agitation.

I wouldnt know because its behind a nazi paywall, and if i were to pay nazis it would make me a nazi. but one thing i do know is that the story doesnt mean what it says it means and therefore it is a lie. I unlike the american press, once took a journalism class

If you believe the press has the power to shape public opinion, then them reporting an important story isn't enough on its own. They and other news outlets could have spent weeks covering it nonstop

The fault is the lack of substantive investigative journalism BEFORE the election in favor of clickbait and easy quotes.

That Times story was the product of eighteen months of reporting by several people, a massive project begin pointlessly late, in Feb 2017. And even then, having reported it, the Times basically dropped it in a week. Compare all of that to Her Emails. And fuck the New York Times.

Exactly. Over and over again with emails. But no follow through on taxes.

It doesn't help that the times wrapped this story up in weeks of softballing white supremacy

It was too late. Where was this story in 2015/2016? The NYT should have had decades of contacts & info to act on once Trump was the candidate. Trump is from New York! Instead the NYT spent their time "but her emails" and Clinton Cash.
