Media standards:
1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention.
2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing.
Way too many think that’s journalism.

Th NYT is basically the canonical embodiment of journalistic malpractice. They might have actually killed democracy in the US but hey, Wordle makes up for it.

They lionize Woodward who had Trump in a knowing lie about COVID in February 2020 and saved it for 2021 for his book. That's their -hero-
Again, maybe what the takeaway we should have from political reporter after political reporter not just getting chummy w ppl like Trump or Epstein (or RFK Jr 👀) but actively running interference for them—either in their coverage or privately—is that its an industry full of ppl that are Bad Actually™️
Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Sweeney’s Hammer (“they are covering election-related stories this way because they want Trump to win the election, credit to @mtsw.bsky.social ) is by far the most powerful explicatory principle, and people who work for outlets like the Times or NBC or CNN should take stock of their role

LTJr’s last byline for the NYT was 2.5 weeks before the Miami Herald Epstein story dropped in November 2018, if we are trying to establish a timeline that might be more accurate than the one the NYT told NPR.

Congress didn't have it, and neither did Biden. The DOJ isn't supposed to name and shame, it's supposed to prosecute crimes. Hence the impropriety of FBI investigating and smearing Clinton in public back in 2016.

we need to bring the hammer down on wealthy and connected elites. it’s been desperately needed for a long time. regardless of party or politics.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

I don't know that ending elite impunity is a skeleton key to winning elections but it absolutely has an upside that could pay huge dividends.
it just generally involves turning on people that are nominally on your side, and a lot of people don't want to do that.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
