What about wikileaks?
New standards since 2016.
To be technical, we don’t know how NYT got his taxes, right? I’m forgetting, did they rely on an anonymous source?
However it happened, it wasn’t legal. Weren’t we supposed to find out about all these Russian connections and debts?
I don't know. I don't know what their editorial promises have been nor what their editorial plans are. They've been doing stories periodically based on what they've found and I assume more are forthcoming. I'm not following it.

I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden. pic.twitter.com/BKNQmAG19H[/embed]
That is terrifying. In a perfect world this would be a rallying cry across both sides.
As a former media member, this is wrong and I don’t like it a bit.
The story is full of holes large and small, but you let the readers decide its veracity.
All that said, Twitter is terrible and has been for quite some time. It’s equally shitty to everyone who uses it. This should be a unifying issue. Social media, once promising, has devolved.
EDIT: I’m seeing this story shared on Facebook, so I’m not sure if they are doing the same thing.

This SC senate race is really getting interesting. Graham refused a covid test so the debate with Harrison was canceled.
That’s either an odd choice to make when you are tied in the polls or Graham knows he has covid. He was sitting by Lee at some judiciary committee events.
Now, if he has covid, that also would likely push the ACB hearings back to right before or after the election.
Like McConnell, I never really thought Graham would lose. But it’s a real dogfight now. This kerfuffle could make it even closer.

If they are boogaloo boys as the story suggests, they are anti-police like BLM.
As for being anti-Trump, anarchists are pretty much anti-everyone, no?

McConnell ain’t losing. Just like Biden ain’t winning Texas.

The idiot came down with covid. And spread it to what, 18 people connected to the WH?? And spread it into the Pentagon
See, this is true. I don't understand why people have to lie about what he says.
Ratings for the VP debate last night: 50.5 million.
Tally among six major networks:
Fox News: 11.315M
ABC: 9.405M
CNN: 7.31M
MSNBC: 6.67M
NBC: 6.55M
CBS: 5.18M
Context:
2008 VP debate (Biden-Palin): 69M
'16 VP debate (Pence-Kaine): 37M
'12 VP debate (Biden-Ryan): 50.2MstingsMSNBC has just deteriorated into hysterical progressives now. Seems to be working wonderfully.
what was it about 2016 that made people stay away from the debate? Two vanilla white dudes? Was this the debate that went up against Monday Night Football?
