#Media watching today… on the election/campaign narrative

Interesting story beyond the screaming and spinning:

New Trump-Influenced GOP Platform Tees Up Convention Conflict Over Abortion, Gun Rights, Gay Marriage

Vice President Pence is the most prominent Republican to express dissatisfaction with the new proposed Republican platform.

I was curious about the rep/cred of the New York Sun (founded 2002), which has been sending me (unsolicited) daily ‘news’ dispatches of late. My impression has been (1) nice; free, no paywall (2) generally leaning towards fact (3) seemingly hewing right across the narrative. Seems I was close, according to mediabiasfactcheck.org

Today’s email headlined “‘Sad and Frustrated’ House Democrats in Disarray After Meeting on Biden’s Candidacy Fails To Reach Consensus” … Okay, there’s a basis for this, though IMM reflecting reinforcement of a meme/narrative. But not “news” for me.
This, however was/is interesting to me, found on their main page when I followed their email link. OK, will endure them for now.

Hm, wonder what VP J.D. Vance of the Trump/Vance ticket thinks? (Guessing #TrumpVirus likes the ‘optics’ of “Trump/Vance”)
I could be wrong though, as “Trump/Greene” has a certain ring (a ding ding) to it.
