The great McCoy Tyner, born today in 1938.
“I play what I live,” he said. “My music is a reflection of the life I’ve lived so far, and of the people I’ve been blessed to be around. Everything that happens to you, everything you see, it all goes into the music somehow.”

we all understand this intuitively, but there's like this ... shame gap, or hyperbole gap. R's can say libs should be rounded up into camps and you get "trump proposes controversial policy" from the NYT. Any Dem can mildly suggest R's are not great for democracy & the pearls come out for clutching.
Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News.
And I bet the absolutely feckless White House press corps won’t cover this like the legit constitutional 1A disaster this is.

Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."
