Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

RFK Jr. is neither a joke nor a well-intentioned proponent of public health with a few kooky beliefs. He's a menace, evil even by the standards of Trump's inner circle, and the failure of the political press to convey this is maddening
I actually think it’s okay to take a ridiculous scandal seriously when it involves a wingnut conspiracy theorist in charge of things like vaccine policy and pandemic preparedness
Sorry to be a wet blanket 🤷🏻♀️

Wellness grifters need to be called out and shut down because they do actual, real harm to anyone who pays them for their “wisdom”
This guy claims ADHD doesn’t exist and if you have arthritis? It’s self-inflicted
He also claims he has a PhD in philosophy. I challenged that immediately

People really think how much healthcare you need is all lifestyle factors but it’s actually age! 28 year olds with unhealthy lifestyles barely consume healthcare, 70-something marathon runners need a lot!

The thing about healthcare policy is that developed countries’ systems *are* falling apart at the seems but the problem is that we’re just getting older. It’s kinda interesting how pensions are a sore spot in the intergenerational wars but healthcare isn’t

There are a lot of public figures who have basically given up and accepted Trumpism, whether or not they personally like it, and it's extremely important that we make those people pay

NEW: Colorado's election clerks are increasingly upset that Gov Jared Polis (D) hasn't ruled out releasing Tina Peters to the Trump administration.
On a call today, a bipartisan group of elected clerks said Polis hasn't agreed to meet with them about their concerns.

Labour is an exact example of the perils of Popularism: for the pundit class it’s fairly easy to say popular but unworkable things, then enact different policy.
But politicians do have to answer to constituents and a pivot like this is very hard for actual politicians. And then you get *This*

blocking people insane about Will remains one of the most consistent ways to make this website a more pleasant user experience; he draws the maddest fuckers.
i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
