Respectfully, your point is well taken, but sound journalistic practice would have been to disclose that fact, and allow the reader to be thoroughly informed. Likely, as you say, they barely spoke, but now it looks like a hidden agenda. This newspaper seems to play “sneaky pete”, even when they don’t need to, and further undercut their credibility. Thank you.
If journalistic practice at all a concern, we wouldnt be having this discussion, because the story would simply be a non-partisan recitation of undisputed facts.
Instead we have professional journalists throwing their careers away in a flailing attempt to take down Trump (their singular goal) by the proxy of Kavanaugh. All of this is a crisis only because RBG is about to expire, and their lock on the court goes with her. Imagine the legacy youd have as a reporter if you could claim you took out Kavanaugh, or Trump.
Its also worth noting that TDS is a circular phenomenon: the more they hate Trump, the more the Derangement eats at them. Its not healthy human behavior to be consumed by hatred. So they hate themselves for hating Trump. Yet they are powerless to stop, because virtue signaling is an opiate to the hard left. Leftism requires constant external reinforcement; individual thinking is shunned... this is mental illness.
Its unbelievable what this man has accomplished. Quite literally unbelievable the destruction hes goaded the left into doing to themselves. And if that werent enough, hes peeling off voters (who I expect will stay home rather than vote for an unhinged lib). Leftist voters are misinformed, but not all of them are crazy enough to vote for one of the current kook dems...
I would submit that we are witnessing the schism that defines what happens to this country: either enough people wake up and see the horrors in the divide, and we are saved, or we plunge into darkness when Trump exits the stage.
Sure. Reveal that fact. Then also reveal that during their school year this reporter had no contact with him or any of his primary friends.
Instead we get the dorm info dropped, and the implication he should really know what he was talking about.
