Luke Broadwater of NYT trashing Biden and bothsidesing the documents issue like fury. (Imagine, more facts emerge every day in a breaking case, and that's suspicious.)

Lisa Ruben pushing back with an audibly annoyed voice. Pointing out that CBS broke the story originally, and WH is trying to get ahead of the story with the drizzled news.

But her emails, take 2. Pfff

I am amazed by this masterclass in how to handle Trump surrogates using their appearances on national TV to spread disinformation about fellow journalists—especially your own colleagues—by @kasie. Thank you! This is how it’s fucking done! More of this from the media please!

🚨THIS is how it's done.
