The NY Times has just posted a lengthy story about Tara Reade following more than 100 interviews. www.nytimes.com/…
I am not kidding. None of the story — none — adds any credibility to her claims, and the few new bits reinforce her lack of believability. I won’t waste time reiterating any of it here.
This should have faded away once it came out that Ms. Reade lied about having an undergraduate degree to get into law school under false pretenses. Among many other reasons.
But the real problem is The Times lacking any journalistic integrity and continuing to push this story. It has long been clear that the editors of The Times care more about settling scores and acting out junior high school grudges than engaging in real journalism or having the courage to accurately describe our lying grifter President. They seem to care more about how Ivanka and Jared will seat them at their next cocktail party than whether this country is sold out to racists and foreign adversaries
The Times together with the other ‘useful idiots’ in the mainstream media did their best to elect Trump and enable Putin’s plots against our country, in their singleminded pursuit of revenues and careerism. All but a few members of the political media should resign and silently bear their shame until the day they die. But this shows yet again that the media’s arrogance and destructiveness knows no bounds, and we will see this BS again and again from now until November.
We are surrounded by the wreckage wrought by Trumpism, and it is hard to deal with this crap when the streets are ablaze and people are dying at the hands of dehumanizing racists. But we must not lose faith in the basic principles of empathy, honesty, sacrifice, and belief in the rule of just laws that are so needed, now more than ever.
Resist.
