Maybe I'll get to your other stuff later, but right now I just want to focus on this.
This is a flat-out lie, and you know it.
I have indeed been critical of the media in general,
and The New York Times in particular. Would you like me to dig up those posts for you? On second thought, never mind -- I won't be arsed to do your work for you. But you're now outed as a known liar, and I know that you are no more interested in facts than is the standard-issue member of Trump's idiot horde.

It's their duty to let Republicans dictate their coverage priorities.

The fact that WaPo reported that Warren
lied is
not letting "Republicans dictate their coverage priorities." It's reporting something that a candidate for the president of the United States did, that the public has a fucking
right to know.

*Coincidentally, the media is dominated by large corporations. I'm sure there's no connection between this and how different politicians are treated or how minor scandals can get constant coverage in some cases while larger scandals (like the hurricane response in Puerto Rico, which continues to have negative effects) are old news and given little coverage.

The NYT gave
massive coverage of the disaster in Puerto Rico, and
scathing coverage, both in news columns and editorial pieces, about Trump's pathetic and evil response to said disaster -- which you would know if you actually
read the Times, which you obviously don't. But don't let that inconvenient little fact stop you from
lying about what the Times writes, yeah?
And, so sorry, the corporate overseers of the Times offer
no input whatsoever into news coverage, and if they tried to do so, there would be an open rebellion among the honorable reporters and editors of the paper.

Because to do otherwise might mean he was wrong about 2016, or even contributed to the outcome we see now in his capacity as a member of the media.

The only one wrong about 2016 is you. Clinton lost because she was a shit candidate, and not because of the news media. That you and people like you can't deal with this means you are setting yourselves up for another shitty candidate in 2020 and another loss to Trump. It wasn't the fucking news media that whispered into Hillary's ear to ignore Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, was it? How'd she make out in those Rust Belt states that she took for granted, hm? Maybe she thought that the poor rubes there were just like her patrons on
Wall Street or at Davos so she could just take their votes for granted.
