As Eric Idle wrote:
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
This is one of those swear and curse things.
We all know that the New York Times sends its reporters into diners in the hinterlands to scout out unrepentant Trump voters and present them as salt of the earth bellwethers for our political future. We also know, deep down in our hearts, that non-Trump voters are studiously ignored by the intrepid reporters as they sip their cups of Joe and interview their brain dead favorites. This is already enough to make one swear and curse, but now we find that they have their favorite “swing voters”, all die hard Trumpies, on speed dial, so when, for example, the Democrats move toward impeachment, we can hear that swing voters are not pleased.
The article in question asserts that swing voters, as the reporter alleges in a tweet, are repelled by the thought of impeachment. She scientifically sampled six such voters. One of the “swing voters” (all of whom have been featured in past NY Times articles) has gone to 23 Trump rallies. One has a portrait of Robert E. Lee hanging in his living room. All of them are die hard Trumpers. See the article to which I’ve linked for full details.
This sort of journalistic malpractice has never been practiced in the Times to throw shade on Republicans.
All we can do is swear and curse, though I’m contemplating ending my subscription to the Times.
