"As the election approaches, the reporting gets worse — policy issues are pushed aside, the most ludicrous micro-controversies are given front-page treatment, more and more attention is paid to increasingly useless polls and pointless speculation, and they ride into election day on a wave of triviality. ...

The most disheartening thing about all this is how it shows our elite media have learned nothing."

"All this, finally, is why America may soon collapse. Because a POTUS who said a very reasonable thing had that thing transmogrified into contemptible disinformation by two unscrupulous far-right billionaires, and a bunch of corporate media outlets under the thumb of unscrupulous billionaires ran with what they saw as a very lucrative non-story-cum-story."

"As ever, all the money in the situation laid on the side of the lie, not the truth. The occasional independent media publication—The Drudge Report and, if it can be said, Proof—getting to the truth of the matter notwithstanding, it really seems as though the truth of any matter is currently the least valuable currency in America."

"But you want to know something that is true? Just last month, Donald Trump declared at a rally that 'the people that surround [Harris], they’re scum—they’re scum—and they want to take down our country. They’re absolute garbage.'

That really did happen.

And you know who just analogized America—the entire United States—to a 'garbage can' in his 'closing argument' to voters?

If you guessed Donald Trump, you’re right."

Lincoln Project helpfully provides us with a beaucoup of times when the Garbage Can Man Trump has called Kamala Harris' supporters — and America itself — garbage.

I'm continuing to hashtag New York Times and Washington Post as I post this item because both media outlets should be royally shamed, though they're evidently well beyond shame.
