At the gym yesterday morning I saw on Fox News and CNN that Lindsey Graham had died. Good riddance. He was bloodthirsty monster and the Senate, not to mention the world generally, is a better place without him actively trying to get children murdered in it.
However, what I couldn't help but notice was that in the 10 minutes or so of coverage that I watched there was nothing about Mitch McConnell. Now, since yesterday morning a hilarious proof-of-life photo showing McConnell with that day's newspaper positioned under hand while his wife seemed to be helping him stay upright has been released. So the speculation that he had died back on June 14th has been addressed.
Still, it is insane to me that the media coverage of Lindsey Graham's death minimally danced around there being questions about Mitch McConnell. And that for all the talk of him taking calls and discussing Senate business with leadership and one MAGA troll from CNN none of their stories could be verified. They didn't release a video of him picking up a newspaper, reading, and turning to discuss the news with his wife or a staffer. Nope, a still photo of him with a prop newspaper positioned under his hand so it could be identified. For nearly a month the corporate media gave him a pass and did no reporting, except to note that there were questions. Useless.
