BREAKING: I found a partial thesaurus sent by the New York Times to the staff for use in the headlines when reporting on Trump's administration.

The president of the United States is posting messianic apocalyptic threats to the propaganda platform he owns and there's not a word about it at NYT, @washingtonpost, @CNN, @npr, or @CBSNews.

Only real coverage I've seen is by @thedailybeast.
