The right has worked five decades to undermine the credibility of the media. The NYT isn't perfect. It's still insane that prominent voices on the left think it's a good idea to go after it, too -- for partisan and business reasons of their own.
At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

NEW: 12 Mississippi polling places have moved and 4 have been closed ahead of the Nov. 4 legislative special elections, an MFP investigation finds.
Counties also have incorrect addresses in the state system for 11 polling places, risking sending some voters to the wrong location.

Gerrymandering isn't just about the net gain for one party or the other - though that's crucial.
By reducing competition, mid-decade redistricting makes it easier to interfere with the 2026 election.

We’re years behind on this, but Democrats should be *relentlessly* attacking the legitimacy of this court. Both to pressure them to moderate and to soften public opinion for the essential changes that must come
my main takeaways from listening to the Supreme Court oral argument today are
-the writing is on the wall for the Voting Rights Act
-the Republican justices are now throwing racist spaghetti at that wall; they'll pass of whatever sticks as the opinion's rationale
