The pitfalls which can trap us in snakepits

To say I was shocked by this inclusion from the enemy MSM is an understatement. First, my own position ...

To my mind, there are many negatives to DJT as Pres 47 but who else can break the nexus, show up the corrupt swamp? Vivek? From the outset though ...

... put the boot in by taking a slimy, misconstruing tone in order to undermine the one person they can't afford to have in charge.  Look at the text:

Feeling betrayed, Trump wants a second administration stocked with loyalists..... ...... no matter how much emphasis Trump put on loyalty in his first term, he found himself disappointed and frustrated when people he had hired chose other considerations over his instructions — their own reputations, future ambitions and even the Constitution. 

Note the constructions "other considerations over his instructions" and  "and even the Constitution" ... that's a direct charge that DJT acted other than constitutionally ... in the English language, using that chain of assertions, with that kicker at the end, the stall was set out.

It's followed up further down by some staffer of DJT "unceremoniously cast aside". Not "dismissed for going behind his back and wrongdoing", a different construction on the same incident ... it is clear, undermining, subtle bias and I for one don't buy that that's the hand of young journo Katherine below ... the subtlety I mean.

Here's young Katherine:

... and note in her bio ... ex Washington Examiner. This is almost exactly Tracy Nelson (Ricky Nelson's kid daughter) in that Perry Mason episode I'll try to dig out ... think it was the Reckless Romeo ... in which she played precisely the young, ambitious lovely willing to do what it takes to climb the ladder (I could myself easily, there, have inserted "the greasy pole" in context ... that shows how fraught punditry can be.)

Here's another of "her" pieces from days ago:

"In his own image"?  Really? Now if our readers cannot see what I'm driving at here ... why NBC is completely unreliable as a source ... then I've not explained well early morn after awakening (0733).

In short, there's shirley another hand behind her, listed in second place ... ghosting?  Guiding?

Larger print:

Jonathan Allen is a senior national politics reporter for NBC News, based in Washington.

You don't occupy that role unless the Ed-in-Chief, beholden to the flagship's donors, and therefore by extension, to the same people as Ronna, whose pic they subtlely run to the right of that Katherine piece ... feels you're a safe pair of hands behind the kid reporter.

Dear reader ... do you see the rabbit hole I've had to go down, just to expose this? Or maybe I should have written "snakepit".

It's not our pundits' fault for including that for Tuesday ... how is anyone to know the doings of NBC or any of the MSM for that matter? But there they are, at every turn suggesting, wormtongueing ... outright lying, the bleedin' MSM.

Am I myself an unbridled Trump fan? Go to the beginning again: "To my mind, there are many negatives to DJT as Pres 47 but who else can break the nexus, show up the corrupt swamp? Vivek?"

So what's my beef?  It's the whole NBC shtick, the way they go about the slurs ... it's the whole MSM in fact, against whom yes ... I do have quite a bias, for reasons oft laid out. And exposing them soaks up so much time, it exhausts, before even getting to the vital events of the day.

Oops, quite forgot the bit about the Washington Examiner itself ... consider these two:

Uh huh ... now look at this:

You do see why we really do need to explore widely before concluding.
