Not excusing the NYT's political coverage, but this person makes an important point. The reason legacy media falls all over itself to cover BS like Benghazi, Hunter Biden's laptop, Hilary's server, etc. is because the entire GOP and their media apparatus takes official actions to make them a story.

The emails that you're seeing now are news in themselves, but that's because of how they're coming outโ€”a congressional committee released themโ€”& the context in which they're being viewed.
A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is "dirty" is not a whole news story.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

The Stranger: "Katie Wilson is likely our next mayor"

Seattle media, tonight, is going as close as possible to saying Katie Wilson won the mayoral raceย โ€”ย without phrasing it as entirely final. (Which is all very defensible at this stage.)

Seattle is shaping up to be the left's second big mayoral win, a sort of West Coast companion to NYC.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them."
