@peterbakernyt called Kavanaugh a "he-said/she-said"; said Trump reinvigorated the presidency; praised Trump& #39;s new tone on Covid; called Javanka "pillars of the West Wing"; and invited us to empathize with the complicit. Now he& #39;s praising himself. Of course he is.
Here& #39;s @peterbakernyt praising Trump for "invigorating voters" by bringing "accessibility" to the presidency.
Here& #39;s @peterbakernyt acting as stenographer for Bill Barr, echoing Barr& #39;s deceitful summary of Mueller Report.
Here& #39;s @peterbakernyt acting as stenographer for Trump, claiming that Trump had actually invoked the DPA to make ventilators. (Spoiler: he hadn& #39;t.)
Here& #39;s @peterbakernyt saying Trump had "a week to brag about." This was a week in which reports came out about Trump& #39;s tax fraud, Manafort cooperated with Mueller, and Trump mocked Christine Blasey Ford, to laughter from his crowd.
Here& #39;s @peterbakernyt presenting the Kavanaugh hearings as—unbelievably!—a literal "he-said, she-said."
And here& #39;s @peterbakernyt discussing Jim Baker& #39;s willingness to back a racist authoritarian as a tragic matter of "private angst," as though we& #39;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. /
