Bad-Faith!

When Millions Of Lost Bush White House Emails (From Private Accounts) Triggered A Media Shrug

Instead, the millions of missing Bush White House emails were treated as a 24-hour or 48-hour story. It was a subject that was dutifully noted, and then the media pack quickly moved on.


As for The New York Times, here's the entirety of the newspaper's commentary on the Bush White House email story in the week following the revelation, according to Nexis:

Last week, the Republican National Committee threw up another roadblock, claiming it had lost four years' worth of e-mail messages by Karl Rove that were sent on a Republican Party account. Those messages, officials admitted, could include some about the United States attorneys. It is virtually impossible to erase e-mail messages fully, and the claims that they are gone are not credible.

I was replying to a post that says if it's wrong for one then it's wrong for the other. What does a post about the NY Times have to do with that?

When we predicate solid logic on a lack of nuance and the dogmatic pretense that A=B with absolutism, we illustrate our own lack of 'solid logic', a fanciful bit of faith and magic thinking tends to take its place.

Bless your heart.

That's what makes your use of "Bad-Faith" one hundred percent accurate. Some of those who were promoting it were not HA Goodman stupid. That brings the more sinister reasons into play. I do loathe all of those who promoted and we're excited about the possibility of an indictment. Most of that was from conservatives. They will now simply transition this into something else.

the multiple lies, racism, misogyny, scams, cons and basic psycopathic persona of the GOP nominee ought to Trump the silly email "scandal" by miles.

Our media stinks
