If republican propaganda mills (Beacon, Post, Examiner) are doing actual investigative journalism for their own strategic reasons that ostensibly more credible/mainstream sources (NYT Wapo, whatever fetid sewer rags Grim/Greenwald/Carlson/Vigeland/Medhi Hasan work for) are failing to cover because they're all in the same group chats and wiping each others' asses and they think they need to 'massage the narrative for the good of the movement' what you have is not credible or mainstream media. You have a propaganda wing that ONLY attacks Democrats, Jews, and women, protects actual rapists while cynically sourcing accusations of their own to try and play temu kingmaker (hi Ryan Grim, Hi Tara Reade) and is still vulnerable to GOP aligned sources actually covering the stories because they FUCKING BURIED THEM and lied to people who trusted them.
NYT/Wapo/every single pundit thirsty for the Nepobaby Nazi Rapist Populist man is less effective at being organizational propaganda AND CREDIBLE NEWS than the insane republican publications!
Because they're cowards who all clean up after each other, and their morals AND their tactics stink.
This is not new. Remember when Reality Winner went to the Intercept with a story that implicated Russia and Greenwald took such good care of her?
