The legacy media are certainly delighted with themselves in having Ronna McDaniel fired. I just wish they’d have had that kind of “courage” in critiquing one of their own.
You state that the delay in Woodward's disclosure of Trump's early admittance of covid's severity until the release of his book was profit motivated and you maybe correct in that assumption. Another possibility is that it was released closer to the election so that it had more impact on the electorate, which would have been lost in the maelstrom of our modern news cycles. Obviously these theories are not mutually exclusive. Nor do they justify the delay in such important information!
You make a very valid point. I’m not sure his disclosure made much of a dent on the election, but it very well might have. But considering the fact that his original decision not to disclose the information was during the first months of the pandemic, a better part of a year before the election, and at a time when the world was consumed by fear, leads me to believe it was more about the hope of creating hype for his book.
Either way, as you point out, it doesn’t justify his failure to disclose such vital information.

Thanks for your thoughts.
