Hmmm. Was a reference to an NYT story with negative coverage of Trump, IIRC.

"I'm going to tell him something very simple I can't talk to anybody else about. Don't put on negative commercials for 21 days," Trump listed as one of his demands.
"don't tell anyone, you many Fox viewers watching this live. "

Well, I almost said free press but then caught myself.
Yeah. They've definitely been paid for.

And our so-called "news media" doesn't give a shit. Face it, if it involves Donald J. Trump the vast majority of our news media doesn't care what he does or what he says. They don't care about the obvious grifting and corruption, about the incessant lies, or any of it. It's the classic "boys will be boys" approach applied to a presidential candidate. But let any of his Democratic opponents say one thing in error or make a single factual mistake or exaggerate a single story or anecdote and they're all over it for days. Biden was driven from the race because he showed some signs of being senile, but Trump has been a walking advertisement for senility over the past several months and the media collectively yawns. Make no mistake, the media double standard in this election is very real.

WSJ Editorial Board defends Trump’s cognitive state:
“… Lately Mr. Trump’s detractors have been speculating about his “mental decline.” There’s no sign of such slippage in our Thursday meeting. The 2024 Trump seems more confident and is certainly more knowledgeable about policy than he was in 2015. His discursive style of talking can confuse listeners, but that was equally true nine years ago, and he never appears lost in his thoughts the way President Biden repeatedly did in their June debate.
But Mr. Trump’s offhand remarks can cause alarm as well as mere confusion. In an interview televised Sunday, Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo asked him: “Are you expecting chaos on Election Day?” and noted that “Joe Biden said he doesn’t think it’s going to be a peaceful Election Day.”
Mr. Trump’s response: “Well, he doesn’t have any idea what’s happening, in all fairness. He spends most of his day sleeping. I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. . . . We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the—and it should be very easily handled by—if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.” …”

“…
Columnist Peggy Noonan, a longtime and sometimes severe critic of Mr. Trump, asks him to clarify: “If you were to reach the presidency again, would you of course rule out using the military to move against your enemies? That is, yours would not be a fascist-style government that would use its agencies, entities or military to move against your political foes because they have opposed you—is that correct?”
“Yeah,” Mr. Trump says, “but I never said I would. . . . First of all, Biden, who doesn’t know he is alive—Biden said that he expects there to be a lot of trouble if I win the election. That’s a very bad statement for him to make. He said that. That’s where this came from.” Mr. Trump digresses into his poll numbers and has to be brought back on topic.
Ms. Noonan: “But you would never do that?”
Mr. Trump: “Of course I wouldn’t. But now, if you’re talking about you’re going to have riots on the street, you would certainly bring the National Guard in. As an example, in Minneapolis while I was there”—meaning while he was in office—“they had riots, literal riots. That whole city was burning down. And Minnesota, the governor was supposed to—our favorite governor—the governor was supposed to do it. He wouldn’t do it. He wouldn’t do it. And I said, ‘You got to get the National Guard.’ . . .
“And when you looked over the shoulder of that poor guy from CNN, that poor, stupid reporter who was standing there saying, ‘This seems to be a peaceful demonstration,’ then he gets hit on the leg with a rock, and behind him the whole city was burning.
It looked like World War II in Berlin, and he’s trying to say that it’s peaceful. So I insisted that the National Guard—if I didn’t do that, I don’t think you would’ve had a city left. So I’m only talking about in cases like that where you need help. You can’t say, ‘I’ll never bring in everything,’ as the entire country is disappearing in bedlam. But certainly not against my opponents—it’s against civil unrest.” …”
