In NYT Live Updates, Michael Gold sane-washed the fuck out of this: "In the most pivotal battleground state, with Election Day in just 17 days, the former president spent the entire opening telling Arnold Palmer golf stories, before finally launching in on the border."
Michael Gold’s editor* Gold himself says he wrote about what was actually said, but the editors cut it.
That's a pity. They're missing out on that great schlong discourse. They could have teed up a few articles about it.
Mikey wants a job with the other fascists in a Trump White House.
So irresponsible.
Mushrooms jealous of Trees.
To get a clearer picture of how this absurd version of the story came to be published, have a look at this exchange. It's the editors. It's coming from the top. bsky.app/profile/bmce...
Fucking disaster job by the Times. This should be front page news. Trump waxing about Palmer's dong would horrify many Christians, but the news won't just run a g.d. quote!!
Surreal.
Reading over the charging documents released a couple of weeks ago is a stark reminder that something is deeply wrong with how we cover this person.
He's one of the best at that.
