Of course, the #BrokenTimes chooses to cast Biden's speech & the convention in a negative light. He gave the speech he deserved and earned, not defending his record but defending democracy. And why focus on Hillary's failure when she energized the night?

Look at how the #BrokenTimes tiptoes up to American racism: "uneasy with handing power to those who have not historically had it...some Americans may be uncomfortable with being led by a Black woman." Say it: Racists.

The #BrokenTimes covers & seethes over those who come after:
"Three of them interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris, who has not sat for a mainstream media interview since becoming her party’s nominee for president."

No, #BrokenTimes, he does not "confound" Democrats. Get a damned dictionary. He does not confuses us. He appalls, offends, and disgusts us as he should you...

"Combative conservativism"? Are you fucking kidding me, #BrokenTimes? It is fascism. Your white-gloved euphemisms are not genteel--they are themselves lies to the public you supposedly serve.
It is not a "partisan dispute." Trump broke the law and decency. #BrokenTimes
"The partisan dispute over Arlington National Cemetery escalated on Sunday"

OMFG, the word Cheney doesn't appear on the home or front page of the Times today. A grand coalition in American democracy is forming. The #BrokenTimes is ignoring this momentous story--as well as good news for Harris. This is not news judgment. My view:

The sun rose today. But will it tomorrow? Jeesh.
There is no certainly in life, save for the sure knowledge that headline writers at the #BrokenTimes will throw a wet blanket on any good news for Kamala Harris.
Dream on, #BrokenTimes. 🤣 The *last* reporter in all of journalism she should speak to is David Leonhardt with some ridiculous questions.
21 Questions for Harris https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/27/briefing/21-questions-for-harris.html?smid=tw-share
"False theories"? No, lies. "Seize on"? No, spread.
And ou don't need "voting rights advocates" to say this, NYTimes -- you can say it. #BrokenTimes
Quoting Heather Cox Richardson with another story that should be leading every news homepage in America, but is not. #BrokenTimes #BrokenPost
"He was in a fantasy world, and his rhetoric was apocalyptic. It was also bloody in ways that raise huge red flags for scholars of fascism."

Times & Post editors demand Harris outline policies.
She delivers a major speech and informative interview on economic policy.
The editors BURY it. (Post then buried it even lower.) This isn't news judgment. It's petty vindictiveness.
Fucking #BrokenTimes, #BrokenPost.
Good Lord, no, it does not expose a "fault line" or a "motherhood divide." It exposes the misogynistic, eugenecist natalism and religious extremism of *one* side in this election and nation, not both. Read history. Wake up and smell the Lebensborn, #BrokenTimes.
This is not election skepticism. It is voter suppression. Stop with the white-gloved euphemisms for racism and fascism. #BrokenTimes
EVERYTHING about the #BrokenTimes coverage of the campaign is Trump-centric. It reduced her "glossy" (an insult) 82-page plan to 3 pissy takeaways & weights it against Trump's nonsense.
Harris Now Has an Economic Plan. Can It Best Trump’s Promises? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/us/politics/harris-trump-economy.html?smid=tw-share
Fascism as a feature, not a bug. As ever, the #BrokenTimes writes from Trump's perspective, not citizens'. "Defying legal limits" is, AKA, breaking laws. "Sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, totalitarianism. "Adherents of sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, fascism.
More than a half hour after the release of Smith's filing, the #BrokenTimes plays it under *speculation* about an Israeli counterattack; the #BrokenPost buries a developing story. Neither uses the red banner that would recognize the importance of this story. Bad news judgment.
What the hell? The words "Logan Act" do not appear once in this Peter Baker story. #BrokenTimes

Why the fuck is the #BrokenTimes promoting this "election denier"?
You're just fucking jealous. Eat your heart out, #BrokenTimes.
Der Spiegel beats the #BrokenTimes and #BrokenPost with its appropriate news judgment. I don't think this needs translation.
How about using the appropriate verb "purge," #BrokenTimes? That is what this is, not just a "shake up." You continue to soft-pedal totalitarianism and fascism with your white-gloved euphemisms.
I'm a media critic. I read and point to that which I criticize.
Please don't tell me the #BrokenTimes, #BrokenPost have paywalls and registration. We know.
Please don't tell me to stop reading.
If you don't want traffic to go to them, don't click.
We have more important things to worry about!
That this story has neither the word "race" or "racism" in it is failure of journalistic responsibility. #BrokenTimes

Everything Katherine Stewart says here is true. This should be the strategy for #BrokenTimes coverage of the #coup, not merely a guest column.
