But the Politico editors who ran that story knew. And they published it anyway.

Because scooplet! Source development!

The voters who decided the election *absolutely* did not know they were lying.

So - after the Revolution of Dignity: US edition - how do we fix that incentive structure ? The whole inside baseball w/ press and politicians is a little scratchy.

The voters who decided the election have zero clue what any of you are talking about.

For those voters the central issue was Tough Guy vs Whiny Lady.

marieinsedona.bsky.social•14 days ago

Correct. They can’t even name their two Senators.

Correct appellation: Das Politico.

Well especially since Donald Trump has not been lying for the last nine years🤨.

demdifference.bsky.social•14 days ago

Correct.

Trump is not betraying Politico.

He is, however, betraying his voters and his country to enrich and empower Musk and himself.

Absolutely. Politico exemplifies so many of the worst trends in media.

I'm listening to the pod and hear Sarah say "people are basically good." So I am looking forward to the focus group where 47's voters, a sample of the 77 million, express unified outrage and gut wrenching remorse that this is true.

I'm a normalish fuckin person in America. Except for the fact that I follow politics like sports or a reality show. Why are we hating on Chris?

Aren't these same voters saying *all* politicians lie? So why believe Trump's lies over the Harris campaign truths? And I STG you say "he isn't seen as a politician" again makes 0 sense since HE WAS THE MF PRESIDENT!!!
