“Never mind the fact that Altman is openly gay and harbors a fervent dislike of Trump. But hey—when your job involves passing off third-rate trash as journalism, then I suppose lying by omission to suit an agenda is simply par for the course.”
Sure, but he did the same thing Trump has been doing for the past year. That’s what the comparison is.
- rl3 9y agoMore like Pando is saying he did. For all we know there's more nuance somewhere that they're omitting. It's easy to cherry-pick the most flattering aspects of a Twitter feud and present it as a complete accounting of events. Regardless, I still fail to see why they felt the need to make the comparison. It just struck me as a cheap way to vilify him with their readers. If Altman did what they said he did, then of course that's bad. However, I can't help but notice he isn't the one penning hate-filled screeds here.
- s73ver 9y agoAll the tweets are out there to read. And that whole, “I’ve got an investigation going, but I’m not going to actually say what it revealed” thing is DIRECTLY out of Trump’s playbook. Like, that’s exactly what he did with Comey. And yeah, if he’s being a douche, and worse yet a Trumpian douche, I see no reason not to call him out on it. Also, he penned hate-filled screeds during that Twitter exchange.
