@peterbakernyt called Kavanaugh a "he-said/she-said"; said Trump reinvigorated the presidency; praised Trump's new tone on Covid; called Javanka "pillars of the West Wing"; and invited us to empathize with the complicit. Now he's praising himself. Of course he is.

Here's @peterbakernyt praising Trump for "invigorating voters" by bringing "accessibility" to the presidency.

Here's @peterbakernyt acting as stenographer for Bill Barr, echoing Barr's deceitful summary of Mueller Report.

Here's @peterbakernyt claiming, in April, that Trump was now facing the reality of #COVID19.

Here's @peterbakernyt acting as stenographer for Trump, claiming that Trump had actually invoked the DPA to make ventilators. (Spoiler: he hadn't.)

Here's @peterbakernyt saying Trump had "a week to brag about." This was a week in which reports came out about Trump's tax fraud, Manafort cooperated with Mueller, and Trump mocked Christine Blasey Ford, to laughter from his crowd.

Here's @peterbakernyt calling Jared and Ivanka "Pillars of the West Wing."

Here's @peterbakernyt presenting the Kavanaugh hearings as—unbelievably!—a literal "he-said, she-said."

And here's @peterbakernyt discussing Jim Baker's willingness to back a racist authoritarian as a tragic matter of "private angst," as though we're supposed to empathize with the complicit.

The fact that @peterbakernyt and @maggieNYT are the main White House reporters at the most prominent paper in the nation is a true tragedy of the age. /
