Today is ostensibly all about Donald Trump’s arraignment, but it’s also about so much more than that. It’s also about … George Santos?
The freshman GOP congressman with the, um, colorful past, is in Manhattan ahead of the proceedings, and the media can’t seem to get enough of him:

Looks like the press is outta control!
Erik Adams already told them to behave themselves https://t.co/njFBU6HFkY

Heh. Well, clearly the media correctly understood Eric Adams to be speaking only to the pro-Trump contingent. Because they don’t seem terribly interested in maintaining any semblance of decorum or professionalism.
And perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in this photo:

Some pictures are worth a thousand words. This one is worth at least ten times that many.
Everything wrong with politics and news media in one photograph https://t.co/rOX6gFK7fA

Is there a better single image that shows what a failure American journalism is than this? https://t.co/ZFkEQeGE1C

If there is, then that photo’s still gotta be way up there toward the top.
Some people out there seem to think that Santos is the one who looks pathetic and desperate here.
Every MAGA clown with legal problem is gonna try to glom on to Trump’s persecution BS. https://t.co/7weenqi7ZN

Shame is an underrated emotion. The death of shame in Republican politics is a driver for a lot of its current pathologies.
I don’t like R policies. But there is a wide, wide chasm btw “your tax policy sucks” and “you’ve fabricated your entire life story from whole cloth”. https://t.co/ww0VSgAzEI

But let’s face it: Nobody — nobody — looks worse than the media right now.
And the media is making a star out of him!

This explains a lot. The serious often gets less media attention than the silly. https://t.co/DRkQhBpoSi
