Something I've been thinking about a lot today is how back when Nuzzi got revealed to be bff's with the notorious right wing extremist Milo, the elite liberal press crowd instantly circled the wagons to defend her honor.
Interesting who does and doesn't get afforded that kind of solidarity.

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
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

Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

One indicator of how certain forms of casual bigotry have (again) become entirely acceptable in the post-George Floyd protest era is that "woke" as pejorative is fully normalized in media across the ideological spectrum. To the point where it's now just casually thrown around without pause.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

My (perhaps counterintuitive) take on this is that it actually demonstrates how badly Trump is failing to fully consolidate fascistic control over federal institutions.
