I would love to have trust in media, government, tech restored. At this point, I'm not sure it's possible. They betrayed everyone with the response to COVID. Propping up the invalid in the WH was the final nail in the trust coffin.
YIKES! Axios' Alex Thompson SCORCHES the media at the White House Correspondents' Dinner for covering up Biden's lack of mental acuity.
The room was silent!
"President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception."
"But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story. And some people trust us less because of it. We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows."
"I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust and being defensive about them further erodes it. We should have done better."

Wow you have a popular Treasurer. 50,000 more votes than for the Republican Senate candidate. And that Insurance Commissioner... that's what gets people out to vote!
Pattern remains.
Not defending Vance, but this bit of logic doesn't hold up: Does loyalty matter? ... because if someone is disloyal to the man who made them, they will also be disloyal to the voters who put them into office.
The same can be said about a man who frequently cheats on his wife. If he can't keep his promises to his wife, why should voters expect him to keep his promises to them?
@toddstarnes@Ryanmoo38399597 That almost never have actual guests. It’s all their own people regurgitating talking points. If you watch the others, they have guests, not just contributors or the anchors from the morning showing up to do analysis for the afternoon show. Gets boring.
There’s a clear choice this election between me and my opponent. Under my administration, crime is at a 57-year low, my office’s conviction rate for sexual predators and murderers is 100%, and we are holding social media companies accountable for targeting children. On the other hand, my Democratic opponent is a criminal defense attorney who defended a double murderer and voted to out dangerous criminals back in the street.
.@KrisKobach1787: "When I endorsed [President Trump] back in 2016...I told my wife Heather, I said, 'he is serious, he's actually going to close the border, he's going to solve the problem’…
Thank you Mr. President."
@EWErickson Thought provoking. We get a LOT of calls from party faithful begging us to remove them from fundraising lists. We are unable, because it’s not the local party sending all of the text messages!
@MCCCANM I really enjoyed my crash pad when I was a FA on reserve 20 years ago. When there were only a few of us there it was nice to have others around and to get to know my crash pad mates better.
