Flu season already started, but doctors want you to know: It’s not too late to get your flu shot. The number of people with the flu tends to spike after the holidays, when you gather with friends and family.

THIS was the staggering millennial talent that hypnotized every 50+ man in DC and NYC? Really? Paired with hearing her actually speak and it’s a slap in the face to thousands and thousands of more talented journalists who have lost their jobs as their industry is strangled.
I cannot convey to you the sheer fucking weirdness of Olivia Nuzzi's book.

I’m an investigative reporter. Who would I even be sleeping with for scoops, a filing cabinet?
I assume journalists do this stuff all the time. Maybe more on the editorial side, but as a non-journalist, I don’t particularly care what part of the organization is tasked to do the consent-manufacturing. This assumption is based on my observations of journalism in the run up to the Iraq War.
