Molly Jong Fast feels duped.
MSNOW’s Molly Jong-Fast says she and other media types were "sold a character arc" by Platner and his team about how he’d changed.

The 'journos were duped’ defense here is rich.
The threaded post below shows the stuff that was being said on her podcast.
Really rich. https://t.co/nbU0pbyNtj pic.twitter.com/YZD8YBoHPT
Maybe she isn't a great judge of character and being a political pundit isn't for her?
Journalists simultaneously claim to be the smartest or dumbest people on the planet depending on what’s convenient in the moment.

Clown nose on, clown nose off routine. https://t.co/eB9bFHvQfG
Maybe they aren't as brilliant as they think they are?
It's the exact same card they played with Biden. https://t.co/q383jUWzlG

Democrats stay baffled. It's something to behold.
The journos were the ones DOING the duping. Time magazine cover story suggesting Platner had a "redemption arc," that his Past was his Path to victory... https://t.co/I7QTm3lUne

Absolutely. They were fully responsible for the ruse.
I cant believe the guy with the Nazi tattoo duped people. https://t.co/fs0qB6PiRu

Perhaps in the future it's ok to assume someone with a Nazi tattoo is actually a bad person.
List of things journalists have recently been "sold" on:
— Dan Ornelas (@DanielMOrnelas) July 8, 2026
- Reformed Nazi character arc
- Biden sharp as a tac
- Kamala "Joy"
- Novel coronavirus emerging spontaneously from wet market
- Inflation "Reduction" Act
Hey why are these all running in the same direction? https://t.co/1loGtmCRkS
They certainly are easily fleeced.

Buyer beware and stuff.
@KatyTurNBC : How do you let this person get away with this ? MJFast and MSNOW folks are beyond parody. https://t.co/zFLrdb8eLX

LOL This woman is hilarious. We bought a Character Arc--a fancy way of admitting you didn't do YOUR JOB, you just passed along democratic talking points. https://t.co/F0ecPzuMIz

Maybe Molly should be a bit more discerning and just not assume every Democrat is the second coming?
They’re lying hacks and that’s all there is to it. https://t.co/irG46tH52e

Unfortunately, true.
Let's fix that:

The journos were co-conspirators. https://t.co/Tfxqtc3fLx
The were running cover.
Why is it that *only* the Left was fooled? Because as far as I can tell, anyone paying attention to Platner knew he was bad news MONTHS ago. https://t.co/k65S5ssOw5

It's like they lost their thinking caps for a long time.
We weren’t duped. He had a Nazi tattoo. That should have been the end of it. He raped women. That should have been the end of it. “He’s losing in the polls!” Suddenly THAT’S the end of it. https://t.co/tyOjURdB2R

It was obvious to anyone paying attention to reality.
