"Taking their cues from the GOP, the mainstream press has devoted their front page coverage to “but her emails”-level scandals, like President Biden’s age and DA Fani Willis’s private life. What will this mean come November?"

DAME Magazine looks at how corporate media, like my boycott object of affection, the NYT, chase fake scandals and ignore Trump.

@Hey_Beth @damemagazine The daily headline should be ‘Trump Plots to Destroy American Democracy’. Every damn day!

@Hey_Beth @damemagazine when @onthemedia asked the NYTimes this weekend why would they go with the same “but her emails!” stupid story, the spokesperson stuck to their guns saying that even the coverage of the Clinton story in 2016 was great journalism.

And yet, The Messenger failed spectacularly using the clickbait business model.

Doesn't matter, however. They cannot see beyond what worked and the role that Twitter's downfall plays in the shift away from clickbait.
