NYT delivered an ominous headline about a Bronze Star “he claimed but never received.” The subhed of the article reads: “For years, the Maryland governor has faced questions about whether he had wrongfully said he had a Bronze Star. He insisted no. But an old document proves otherwise.”
You have to get to paragraph 14 before you get the real story:
General Fenzel, who in 2006 was a lieutenant colonel in Afghanistan, said that Mr. Moore had at first objected to the idea of mentioning the Bronze Star.
The general said he had told Mr. Moore that he and others had approved the medal, that it was appropriate to include in his application and that it would be processed by the time his fellowship began.
“‘You’ve got to include it,’” General Fenzel recalled advising Mr. Moore. “‘If you are selected as a White House fellow, you’re going to be wearing it whenever you’re wearing your uniform.’”
That June, President George W. Bush’s White House announced that Mr. Moore was among the new fellows. His military awards went unmentioned.
General Fenzel, who was a groomsman in Mr. Moore’s wedding, said on Wednesday that he had not known until Mr. Moore told him this week that the governor never received the Bronze Star. General Fenzel said he would resubmit the paperwork so Mr. Moore could be awarded the medal. The Army spokeswoman, Heather Hagan, did not respond to further inquiries about the award.
In another story you have this headline:
Harris and Trump Have Housing Plans. Economists Have Doubts.
Harris’s plan would increase tax credits to affordable housing builders by $40B & give $25K to first-time buyers. One conservative economist objects. Trump’s non-plan: mass deportation & lower interest rates.
This goes on and on. Bottom line all the MSM outlets NYT, WaPo, CNN all know they will make millions more if Trump wins because chaos sells.

Wow, man. CNN is running a special on Trump right now, Labor Day night. It's mildly critical and also mildly flattering.
They are definitely sucking Trump's dick. Amazing to see that from CNN. Oh well. I hope people aren't fooled. It's all about ratings.
