As a thought exercise how many people do you think saw the original WAPO headline and how many people see the revision.

Bolding it within the article is the saddest excuse for terrible journalism I’ve ever seen but we know the spin on that poster already despite trying to shade it.
 
I'm not sure what you think I'm trying to shade? It was a bad headline, and they changed the headline. We should all hope for fewer bad headlines, and we should all hope that news outlets fix mistakes when they make them.

There is no news outlet that gets it right every time, particularly in the midst of an unprecedented situation in society. If you know of an org that bats .1000 I'd love to see it.
 
What is up with the 'you guys bring up Trump too frequently' argument as some sort of own?

The guy is actively still trying to overturn an election and tens of millions of people revere him as some sort of savior. He's probably the frontrunner for the 2024 nomination, and even if he isn't everything in Republican politics right now revolves around him. Unfortunately, he's still pretty front and center in American political discourse whether we want him to be or not.

It would be like thinking it is an insult to tell Braves fans they bring up Dansby Swanson too much. Well, he bats fifth and starts at shortstop every night, so it's tough to not mention him frequently.

I would be embarrassed too if I had spent the past four years as part of very poorly chosen one's rapid response team, and would wish other people would stop posting about his activities. You are right btw that he is the frontrunner for the GOP's 2024 nomination. Hopefully sanity prevails and they nominate someone else.

I remain confused about what the insult is supposed to be. 'You guys talk a lot in political discussions about a very prominent, powerful, and polarizing politician' just seems...very expected?

Bc he gets 10x the air time. Of the current President, who is having a very difficult time on many things.

Yeah. Well we will have to just continue being confused for the next few years. Until very poorly chosen one rides off into the sunset and stops being a highly relevant figure within our political system.
 
Since the fraud joined the cult

He wishes you’d stop talking about him cause it makes him look bad to still be the leader of the Republican Party

He also hates that you still are showing that he is a threat to our democracy and his ilk are still going along with it


He would prefer to try to gaslight you into stop talking about that/him

I would think that people of good will of all political persuasions would be concerned that the sun has apparently not set on very poorly chosen one's political career. As soon as that happens--whether it be via the legal system, actuarial tables or people coming to their senses--I will be happy to stop posting about him.
