I disagree. Journalists should always, always, always bring up the past bad deeds of present bad actors. Always remember, never forget, never let their readers forget that this guy lied in front of Congress; this woman doesn’t believe in democracy; this guy was convicted of a felony and later pardoned by this abomination when he was President.
My father once told me that the Chicago Sun-Times had a stock photo of Colonel Cyrus McCormick, the owner of the Chicago Tribune, that they would use whenever McCormick, a notorious right wing hater, was in the news. It was an embarrassing photo of the illustrious Colonel looking particularly stupid as he tried to bring his lips to his soup spoon. It didn’t matter what the story was, it could have been a society page story about his daughter’s engagement to some weak chinned scion of another blue blood family, they always used that picture. And it stuck. Maggie Haberman - who really ought to know better - should have given her readers the whole story about the felon in question.
