Steve Krakauer (@SteveKrak) ~ Here comes the truth about John Fetterman, in today's New York Times - months too late:
"When it’s bad, Mr. Fetterman has described it as trying to make out the muffled voice of the teacher in the 'Peanuts' cartoon, whose words could never be deciphered."

Steve Krakauer (@SteveKrak) ~ NYT is ready to tell the truth about John Fetterman - who remains in the hospital for a 3rd day - now that the truth doesn't matter.

Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) ~ Today's NYT article on Fetterman makes clear his incapacities and health challenges are far graver than were known.
Nothing but the best of wishes to Fetterman and his recovery, but it's urgent to recall how aggressively and deliberately the media lied about this to elect him.
Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) ~ Right before the election, an NBC reporter, @DashaBurns, did her most basic job by honestly reporting Fetterman seemed incapable of speaking and understanding her.
She was mauled by liars like @karaswisher who, eager to elect Dems, attacked the reporter.

Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) ~ At some point, when the corporate media gets caught lying enough times right before elections, in every case to protect Dem candidates - NY Post's reporting on Joe Biden is "Russian Disinformation" (CIA/CNN/NBC) - it has to become some kind of crisis or at least revelatory event.
In a sane world with a media capable of introspection and a desire to improve, it would be seen as a crisis. Instead, we’re told to just ignore the pile of lies and continue to put our faith in people who have no faith in us. ...
We certainly won’t argue that Fetterman’s minders were not looking out for his best interests (they certainly weren’t looking out for the interests of Pennsylvanians). But it’s important to remember that, impaired as he was, John Fetterman was still competent enough to say he wasn’t going to participate in this sham, and he chose silence or outright denial. He’s certainly not an innocent victim in all this.
Varad Mehta (@varadmehta) ~ Translation: Democrats were so desperate for the seat that they were willing to let Fetterman suffer irreversible physical and neurological damage to get it. But don't excuse him. He went along with it. And ruined his health for good.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
