Since we're talking about Jan Crawford's bigoted comment about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, here's a post I did about how she helped Bill Barr impugn the Russian investigation. emptywheel.net/2019/05/31/b...

It is a mystery to me why some people dubbed Marco Rubio as the one sane, thoughtful and reasonable person in the Trump admin despite not a shred of demonstrable objective evidence to support that position since the day he has been in office.

Yep. Mahoning County is the shrine that reporters make pilgrimages to in order to divine the deep wisdom of ancestral Dems lured by right wing populism after supercilious Dem elites supposedly abandoned them, as I suggest in the piece. If Dems win here, what happens to that whole theory of politics?

For the media, Mahoning County is like the Wailing Wall of Trumpism

You either believe, as many Republicans claim, that Trump wants to do what’s right on Russia-Ukraine but keeps making bad decisions that helps Russia & hurts Ukraine. Or you believe that Trump has always been on Putin’s side. The former just proves you are a fool or dishonest.
