I regret that there’s no quick visual for this one, but today Enrique Tarrio and four other Proud Boys (Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola) were all charged with seditious conspiracy. A comment on Reddit joked that Fox News had said that because no one had been charged with sedition, what the GOP did on January 6th wasn’t sedition and then they noted that you can’t find any news of today’s indictments on Fox.

Well, I wanted to check for myself and they were right. The most recent related story at Fox is from five months ago. Meanwhile, at every other outlet I checked (Wapo, NYT, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS) it’s basically above the fold (though obviously not in a screamingly huge font or anything). Just stony silence from the people who helped the GOP plan the coup.

+1 you can always tell who was in on the plot by how they ignore the issue

Look at the “liberal” NYT’s take. This is head smackingly bad.

I don't know the backstory. I don't follow that sort of thing, but the NYT clearly has been anti-liberal for some time now.

It’s definitely been pro-fascism these last few years.

This is an interesting thread about the GOP messaging and why the media parrots it. I guess not “why” so much as “just does it anyway” but the rest of thread says it well.

Did you want to see Jared and Ivanka reintegrated into decent society? I didn’t. The New York Times does, though!

I’m not linking directly to the piece that is meant to sow despair, but I will link to a tweet thread about it. NYT sucks and it’s right wing trash.

New York Times just can’t quit advocating for the GOP no matter how many women they get killed and how many times they try to overthrow the government.

Not at all surprising, but still stunning......

During the podcast, Weiss and Scott spoke about the 2020 bill, which was aimed at establishing bi-partisan police reform in the wake of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police officers. The bill was never signed into law.

"I wanna tell you a little story that I’m not sure if you know," Weiss said to Scott, alerting him to the incident in 2020 when the New York Times newsroom debated publishing the Senator’s "op-ed about the bill and why it fell apart."

She continued, "And this is the part I’m not sure if you know. There was a discussion about the piece and whether or not we should run it. And one colleague, a more senior colleague, said to a more junior colleague who was pushing for the piece, ‘Do you think the Republicans really care about minority rights?'"

"Wow," Scott replied to the smear.

Weiss’ story kept going. "And the more junior colleagues said, ‘I think Tim Scott cares about minority rights.’ And then, and here’s the pretty shocking part. The more senior colleague said, ‘Let’s check with Senator Schumer before we run it,’" the journalist recalled, providing the kicker the story.

Weiss indicated that the younger staffer refused to reach out the House Minority Leader, worried about ethics concerns.

Are you surprised to hear that? Or does that story feel kind of representative of the way the media has treated you and maybe some of your colleagues?" Weiss asked the lawmaker, though Scott claimed he was not and added he had experienced such treatment before.

"I am disappointed to hear that. I am not surprised to hear that. You have to remember that The Washington Post fact checked my life," he claimed, referencing how the paper spent "three or four months" going through "records to find out whether or not my grandfather actually dropped out of the school in the third grade, their records suggested he dropped out in the fourth grade, but still didn’t learn to read."

"They wanted to know if I had somehow hidden my silver spoon and just was using a plastic spoon instead," the Senator commented, adding, "there is something national media wants to frame any conservatives, particularly Black conservatives, as being disingenuous or insincere or a tool for the conservatives. When in fact the Black community is consistently as conservative as any community."

It's been astounding to watch the Trump machine spin...

First it was "uh the FBI planted those documents!"

Then it was "uh okay maybe the FBI didn't plant them but I declassified them!"

Then it was "uh um the GSA moved those crates of Top Secret files to Mar A Lago without my knowledge!"

How do you even keep up with the nonsense?

Oh wait - I know. Ignore everything Trump said, because it's all lies and he's guilty A F.
