23. Of necessity, reporting by Abramson and others doing what he does
Sun May 8, 2022, 09:33 PM
May 2022

is mostly repeating what investigative journalists and well connected analysts are indicating, including mining social media for what posters are saying, claiming it as his own insights. The disapproval is mostly though from his offering a great deal of speculation and even outright conspiracism as insider information.

In any case, investigative journalism is very expensive and requires a whole lot of connections that can take decades to develop. The "Abramsons" can't begin to compete.

Morning Consult polled for possible running mates, link below, but I don't know if they put Palin on the list as a choice. Silly of me to put weight on it, but for my own speculation, I think Palin looks too old for him to want to associate with. When has he ever? She might be able to get religious right leaders to want her, though, and tRump has to keep them happy.
