Here is an example of creative writing. from a New York Times political columnist -- in this case Jamelle Bouie:
"[T]here's no question that Donald Trump was determined to overturn the 2020 presidential election and end American constitutional government in order to stay in office." Alas, Bouie, in his August 4 column, makes the grievous mistake of citing Katie Benner, a Times colleague, as a source for the false claim that Mr. Trump threatened "American constitutional government in order to stay in office." Bouie could have made this fatal mistake only if he thought readers would not be reminded that Benner, at the end of July, referred to Trump voters as "enemies of the state" and a threat to national security.
Now there is the authoritarian mindset revealed to all: referring to people who opposed Biden as "enemies of the state."
We should not be surprised that Bouie then called "Jan. 6" an "insurrection." (As did Impeachment II, against President Trump, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, one of the members of the Pelosi panel against the Republican Party.) A definition of "insurrection" via Google is "a violent uprising against an authority or government." Lots of shoving and pushing by several hundred people, in less time than it takes to play a Major League Baseball game, and in which the demonstrators are not armed — not even wielding fire extinguishers — is hardly "an insurrection." Otherwise, one might as well refer to the start of a marathon as "insurrection."
Bouie goes on to take to task House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy for naming Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan to the Pelosi panel against Republicans. Bouie suggests that Pelosi was right in vetoing the two Jims from her select panel, saying they are totally devoted to Donald J. Trump

as if every Democrat on the panel, indeed every Democrat in the House, plus at least two Republicans, is not totally devoted to Pelosi, particularly Rep. Raskin and the mendacious Adam Schiff.
Maybe not devoted to Pelosi, just devoted to hating Trump.
If these commies think January 6th was an insurrection they’re going to be blown away by the coming civrolutionary war.
They make my skin crawl.
