Failing to cover Trump's bad behavior because he has always been bad is how we get "both sides are the same" trash.

Pardons are also particularly newsworthy because the Trump DoJ is exploring whether Biden's pardons can be invalidated via the claim that he wasn't aware of what he was doing (the autopen conspiracy).

Every accusation is a confession. Exhibit #5871

I think OP was talking about "newsworthy" in the HN sense.

I kind of agree, because it's quite likely to devolve into pot-stirring flame bait comment threads.

Thanks, I'm meaning it especially in the HN sense. I'd expect HN, and frankly, new sources as well, to focus on trends, larger pictures, context, education. Minutiae are entertaining, but distracting as well.
