New York Times shrugs off Trump campaign lawbreaking, crucified Al Gore for less


https://pressrun.media/p/new-york-times-shrugs-at-trump-campaign

remember when Al Gore made phone calls from the White House and NYT called for a major investigation and the the Repubs spent 7 million and 3 months on investigations? Trump has so degraded our values and outrage.

Thank to Mike Malloy for bringing this to my attention.

The media treats Democrats differently than Republicans. The bias is obvious.

I'll never forget the NYT's article about the Clinton Foundation and what it "might" be doing, despite its high Charity Navigator rating, which led me to donate monthly to the Clinton Foundation until the pandemic hit. I already knew that the only thing the Trump charity did was pay Donnie's Scout fees and purchase a $40K portrait of Trump, but they could have broken the story early about how corrupt it actually was--the next year it was dissolved and the Trumps forbidden to be part of a foundation again. They chose not to.

But now the SHITLER klan can grift millions, flaunt anti-nepotism laws and standards of ethics, and "nobody cares." Emoluments shchumoluments. Not to mention subpoenas ruled unenforceable.

Same paper that normalized Hitler and invented Saddam's weapons of mass destruction
