I know it is silly, but I think people should be informed about reality after consuming good journalism, rather than misinformed due to false equivalency.

Last week NYT wanted US to praise them for a nice investigative piece about Jared's financial ties to his role as negotiating for US in Iran & Ukraine/Russia. Today their landing page article talks about Jared as our envoy, without mentioning he does not work for US. Great balance, bad reporting.

There is a trade-off between balance and objectivity. NYT provides balance by amplifying 1,000's of "Trump says ..." articles each year. But, they are mainly lies, so they have sacrificed objectivity. I think is is reasonable for paper of record to stop spreading lies daily on their landing page.

Haha, that is exactly what the editors of the NYT always say when they dismiss the concerns from their left: but it dangerous lie. We don't want propaganda or op-eds for Democrats, we want NYT to stop amplifying Republican lies. There is no legitimate investigation in Rep Omar, that is just a lie.

AG Sulzberger & Joe Kahn have written extensively about how their greatest fear is being accused of being Democrats, so they cater to Republican "concerns" while mocking legit Democratic concerns. They lean into balance over objectivity. And as the leading agenda setter, their choices matter.

Articled was beautifully balanced! First they lay out facts as if this were a legit investigation. Then they quote: Omar, Trump, DOJ, DHS. They lean into the 60 day rule as if that were the issue anyone should care about when president orders DOJ & DHS to terrorize political opposition.

I am convinced NYT & Corporate Media thinks there are 4 Elon Musks, because they seems to cover these 4 different in isolation. They refuse to mention the white supremacy or the mass murder when they cover him as the big donor. The articles about Tesla & SpaceX just don't mention his politics.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 11:40 PM

Elon Musk (1) is largest donor to the Republican Party ever (by far) (2) is a hardcore white supremacist & he funds the movement around the world (3) owns & operates SpaceX & Tesla (4) killed 100,000's when he ran the US government for a few months: EVERY ARTICLE ABOUT 1, SHOULD MENTION THE OTHER 3.

dude's brain does not work well.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:42 PM

That is one strongly worded letter 🤷

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:56 PM

Problem is that Trump is running on a series of investigations into Black women he hates, not that he is doing investigations within 60 days of an election. Just insane levels of collaboration by Corporate Media.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:55 PM

This is what collaboration looks like. Trump is trying to denaturalize & deport political opponent, claiming irregularities with political asylum claim of her dead father from 31 years ago, and NYT legitimizes all of that by claiming only issues is that it violates norms in timing of investigation.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:32 PM

Corporate Media: so random that federal government keeps starting these totally legitimate investigations into Black women Trump hates like Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and Representative Ilhan Omar Reality: Trump is using federal government to intimidate (and remove) his political opponents

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 1:40 PM

Imagine how insane you sound to the rest of US claiming you need to be on X, site owned & operated by largest Republican donor for Republican Party, to fight for Democratic Party. Entire point of X is to help Republicans and Democrats on there are just toys that are being manipulated for their gain.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 1:38 PM

Musk is a not just a hardcore white supremacist, misogynist, xenophobe, antisemite, Islamophobe. He is also largest donor to Republican Party, in history, by far. And, he bought Twitter to turn into into vehicle for white supremacy, deepfake porn, Republican Party: that is what is means to be on X.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 1:27 PM

This is a naked attempt to use the federal government to intimidate Rep Omar with threat of denaturalization and deportation. Saying anything else is just amplification of government propaganda.

@davmicrot.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 1:24 PM

Omar arrived in US with asylum in 1995 and became a US citizen in 2000. Regime's own argument is that they are looking to see if her late father did something wrong in his application: if Omar were not a political opponent, there is 0% chance they would investigate asylum claim of dead father.
