How to Host a Hamptons Gala for the Super-Rich
The New York Times • Dionne Searcey and Ashley Gilbertson#BrokenTimes runs op-ed by Puck founder brushing aside Colbert's cancellation. Terrible judgment by both.
Colbert’s Ouster Was Just Another Late-Night Death Rattle
Opinion | Colbert’s Ouster Was Just Another Late-Night Death Rattle
The New York Times • William D. CohanWell, no shit, #BrokenTimes, how does this possibly qualify as news except to fulfill your #MamdaniVendetta?
New York Republicans Unite in Attacking Mamdani
The New York Times • Emma G. Fitzsimmons![President Trump, in terms of raw accomplishments, crushed his first six months in historic ways. Massive tax cuts. Record-low border crossings. Surging tariff revenue. Stunning air strikes in Iran. Modest inflation.
Yet poll after poll suggests most Americans aren't impressed. In fact, they seem tired of all the winning, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen write in a "Behind the Curtain" column.
Why it matters: Trump appears to be losing by winning. The more he does [link.axios.com] (including issues beyond his legislative wins), the more the general public, especially independents, shrug — or recoil.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:j5fbnzh57rn7xz65yjc36gxb/bafkreid7bfz6usem2jf2exo67cim52eu7qotw3bkjmmmjgb3dj4iopy6oe@jpeg)
Textbook case of letting Trump set the agenda. Oh, good, the #MurdochJournal headline implies, it's 15% not 25%. But it was 2%. The headline should be that Trump raises Japanese tariffs by 650%.
In a perverse form of normalization, the #BrokenPost treats the fascist takeover of the White House and government as a food fight in the company cafeteria.
The #BrokenTimes decrees it over and lets Trump off the hook (because of MAGA disappointment over the WSJ story).

The #BrokenTimes swallows Trump's framing, as if grand-jury testimony is what he promised and his cultists want. It's not.
When It Comes to Jeffrey Epstein, Trump Says He Is Ready to Defer to the Courts
The New York Times • Mattathias SchwartzAs of 845p, this ongoing story makes no mention yet of Trump's blackmail of CBS/Paramount/Ellison but includes generic hoo-ha about changing TV: a journalistic sin of omission. Trump is taking over media under the Times' nose and it turns away.
‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Is Being Canceled by CBS
The New York Times • John Koblin
i know i am late on this but is there more glaring example of the utter lack of agency the right wing is afforded
where is the guest essay taking the right-wing family to task for being such assholes that their own family members snub them
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers 🤷♂️🤦♂️😡
It's not a "trade agreement", bc POTUS can't make "trade agreements" on his own, & every media outlet should stop being lazy by using "deal" or "agreement" & instead do journalism & explain to readers that all of this is wildly illegal & not how it works.
Look, I'm no political strategist, but I would think that the opinion of the guy whose entire role at the NYT was basically to promote the Republican point of view, isn't someone any Democrat should give a shit about.
Oh, fuck off, #BrokenTimes. The #MandamiVendetta continues with a fluffing of the sexual harasser.
Andrew Cuomo Test Drives a Warmer, Friendlier Version of Himself
