Call me conspiracy theorist all you want. But I reject that, and your attack on me as being cynical.
I've read enough about this Information war to know that when mainstream media like WaPo and the NYT (I subscribe to both) posted hype about Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan that we've rightly criticized here. More than once I read here that after so many years of those papers' justifiably negative coverage of P01135809, they were just looking to find some big anti-Biden story that could inoculate them from attacks of having a left-wing bias. They kept up-playing the struggle of the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, making it seem like Biden's mistakes somehow showed him as flawed as Trump, without once mentioning the mess Trump left behind in his Syria withdrawal. of our troops from Afghanistan.
Even during the Jan 6 hearings that summer, they were pounding out stories about inflation and high gas prices. Then, when Biden's poll numbers dropped 16 points in July, they likened his poll numbers to those of Trump in July 2020 when Covid deaths doubled in 19 states. If that doesn't feed into 'both siderism' on the right -- just to protect their reputations for alleged impartiality -- I'm at a loss.
So call me out every time if you want to make my posts all about me. I'm fine with using evidence, and try to provide what I can in the time I can spend here.
I gotta ask: Why do you defend this report as worthy of the high standards you say WaPo has?
