Mark Hermann wonders why the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, both owned by Rupert Murdoch, decided to pirouette about Donald Trump almost simultaneously. A snippet:

So I knew that Trump did nothing to stop the violence during his three hours of silence on January 6. And Mitch McConnell knew it. And Kevin McCarthy knew it. And any sentient human being knew it.

But the editors at the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post somehow didn’t know it?

Why did it take the Journal and the Post 18 months to be shocked — shocked! — to learn that the Capitol Building was ransacked on January 6 and that the president did nothing for three hours to stop it?

Aside:

I suspect it’s to give Murdoch some cover as his primary outlet, Fox News, continues to shamelessly pimp for Trump and Trumpettes in prime time. But I’ve always been a touch on the cynical side.
