Sometimes, pictures are worth 1,000 words

The Biden-Harris campaign spoofed the Donald J. Trump birthday bash Friday. If you need crib notes for the “not invited” guests:

1. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) detailed how she killed a puppy in her memoir.

I wish I could say that the Associated Press tweet announcing Trump’s DC visit the day before was a fake.

If it’s not clear, U.S. publicly owned news organizations appear to be taking marching orders from the C-suite rather than the newsroom.

Surprise, surprise: news media trust is at an all-time low. That’s not a laughing matter, either.
