So @politico doesn’t even mention the Jones “Livingston” letter, let alone The Rumor? Leaves readers in dark politico.com/story/2015/10/…

Because MSM can’t report what really happened to McCarthy usual suspect “obstructionist conservative house members” are getting the blame

Erickson: “There’s no evidence of the rumor being true.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/kevin-mc… There is now!

Twitter “Moments” curators couldn’t cite this tweet twitter.com/EWErickson/sta…? Given richness of Twitter, why be as tepid as network news?

If you relied on the Twitter “Moments” account of McCarthy’s withdrawal you still don’t know the story. Same if listened to NPR, of course.

Plus, Republicans really need someone who lost a debate to Joe Biden.

Ryan: Put US workers on dole, import cheap labor & voucherize SS/Medicare. Isn’t Trump showing that losing platform? twitter.com/alexis_levinso…

We may have the long-awaited moment when a major figure just quits w/o any mention in the MSM on why. But if you read Gotnews you know why

When the rumor becomes a fact, print the rumor … erickontheradio.com/2015/10/the-re…

And here I thought it was Trump-wearing-out-his-welcome stories that had worn out their welcome nytimes.com/2015/10/08/us/…

Make it so! If there’s a clearer case of @nytimes straining to tell readers reality is as they wish it, let me know nytimes.com/2015/10/08/us/…

NYT: Trump cld lose “Fox News opinion commentators”! You mean the people who’ve been trying 2 take him out 4 months? nytimes.com/2015/10/08/us/…

NYT: Trump’s act “wearing thin” because second differential of his rate of retweets is slowing, hustler/experts say nytimes.com/2015/10/08/us/…

Trump used to get “54 percent of all mentions” on TV. Now he sometimes only gets 40%! He’s doomed! It’s happening!! nytimes.com/2015/10/08/us/…
