The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

This never worked for me when I was teaching nursery school.
There's a reason one of my mentor's regular reminders was "if they don't curse when you walk in the room you're not doing your job right."
I think it’s such a perfect case study for why “access journalism” to political figures is such a crock of shit. Most people can’t spend a ton of time with people without getting to like them, or at least sympathize with them. This is obviously an extreme case, but I think it’s always dangerous

We might extinct a lot of other living things, we might make the planet intolerable for ourselves, but the planet will go on.
And as much as I am an optimist and not a doomer, I don't think that on the scale of the galaxy, let alone the universe, it's not that important that humans persist forever.
