It's a shame that the necessary work of criticizing our media is so often undertaken dishonestly.

>When Donald Trump made the same calculation, saying he couldn’t cut ties

This is not what happened.

Donald Trump denied that the Saudi royalty was known to be behind the murder of Khashoggi despite the conclusions of U.S. intelligence. He was part of the coverup, obscuring the known facts to preserve his relationship with bin Salman. Joe Biden, on the other hand, said bin Salman was responsible for his murder but decided not to penalize him.

Both of those decisions are unacceptable to me. That does not make them the same.

Say what you will about the New York Times, but they rarely tell lies as brazenly as Mr. Taibbi.
