The New York Times Gaslights About Political Prosecutions
The Times headline is Why Legal Experts Are Worried About a Second Trump Presidency. The subhed added, In a survey of 50 members of the D.C. legal establishment, many warn that Trump could follow through on his threats to prosecute his political adversaries. The term gaslighting has gained popularity in recent years, a reference to the 1944 movie Gaslight about a husband who manipulates his wife into thinking she is insane. Even in a sea of media manipulation, there is perhaps no better example of gaslighting than this piece.
