The elite media will not save us, part infinity:
Trump and the GOP had an explicit strategy to persuade the public that impeachment is just a partisan mess, which was a challenge since the President’s own staff offered the most incriminating testimony.— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) December 14, 2019
New York Times to the rescue: https://t.co/je8E87cgz5
This is it, people. This is all they got. All phrasing from a single story in the New York Times today. https://t.co/HDXwSGcwge Asymmetrical polarization is just too much for the institution as currently led. So they changed it to 50/50 polarization and put it on page one. pic.twitter.com/JIYPDYoCzD— Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) December 14, 2019
For hope that things will change at @nytpolitics I have nothing to offer. But try Jay's Law of Impeachment Coverage. All news reports and columns anchored in the theme of a 50-50 "partisan divide" should be framed instead as: how did the Republican party arrive at this place?— Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) December 14, 2019
And, to state the obvious one more time, the NYT would *never* frame a story on *any* other topic that way:— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) December 14, 2019
-“Weinstein, accusers, bitterly divided over clashing claims”
-“Uighurs, Beijing, struggle to find common ground”
-“NFL, brain scientists, trade accusations”
