The NY Times needs to learn how a truth sandwich works. (A truth sandwich is a technique in journalism to cover stories involving misinformation without unintentionally furthering the spread of false or misleading claims.) www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...

“.. I am still his topic of conversation all these years later,” Mulvaney said. “And it seems to me that I might be like the one that got away for these men. Like, I am permanently burned into their retinas. I am microchipped into their minds.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/online/dylan...
My dream was that the WHCA had invited Bruce Springsteen, who was in town to receive a civil liberties award, to speak instead, or, better yet, to share the podium with Trump. THAT would have been a celebration of the First Amendment.
The grumbling ValkanoGreat take from @sulliview.bsky.social about the cowardly Washington press corps sucking up to Trump. When Trump subpoenaed Times reporters to coerce revealing sources, the dinner should have been canceled in protest. open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

@sulliview.bsky.social nails the ridiculousness of the WHCA’s invitation of Trump. “Should respect for the institution of marriage mean that an abused ex-wife should insist that her former husband be invited to, say, the annual 4th of July family party?” open.substack.com/pub/margaret...
