Bingo. And the “MAGA cultists” are even useful because they look increasingly delusional to the right-leaning or centrist voters who now regret their votes for Trump. It would be harder to break from MAGA if its supporters were rational, but it’s increasingly obvious that they are out of touch.

The Post’s front page is no better. The storm gets top placement and a large photo. The headline for the story about the MN shooting omits that a federal agent of the controversial US Border Patrol was the shooter. And the editors allow DHS to frame the subhead: “MAN KILLED SATURDAY HAD GUN.”

The NYT headline writers weaken an important and well-reported story by withholding the subject ("Officials") until the end of the sentence. This leads readers to assume that the first phrase is fact, when it fact it is merely a claim by people who have every incentive to lie. @jayrosen.bsky.social

The NYT gets a mixed grade for this headline. Trump didn't “approve the release” of the Epstein files - he only signed a bill calling for their release. Big difference. But it deserves credit for nailing the critical point: the bill contains a major “loophole” that could keep many documents secret.

However, even for the Sanger story, the New York Times headline writers bury the irony of Trump's embrace of bin Salman. Could anyone please explain why the Times appears to be deliberately muting the meaning of a shocking and attention-getting story? (4/4)

Harry Gural @harrygural.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

On the front page of the NYT's print edition, it's all hugs and kisses for bin Salman. While highly informed readers would grasp the irony, the headline buries the main point. To be fair, the Kashoggi killing is mentioned in the story by Katie Rogers, and in a separate story by David Sanger. (3/4)

Let’s try a outrageous fictional example of the same nasty rhetorical trick if it were used against Mike Johnson: “Being the Speaker of the House doesn’t give you the right to abuse young children, if indeed that is what he is doing.”

Note the duplicity of Mike Johnson’s syntax: “Religious freedom does not extend and give you the right to get in the face of an ICE officer and assault them, if indeed that was what happened there.” He insinuates that clergy assaulted ICE, then quietly admits that he doesn’t know if that’s true.
