The NYT never faced a serious reckoning for Judith Miller's misdeeds, which played a huge role in getting hundreds of thousands of people killed. There is no higher journalistic power that will hold Nuzzi and her ilk accountable. There's only us. And I fear we're just screaming into the void.
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

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

This seems potentially newsworthy.
I have some friends that worked on it & apparently it was unfettered access to the worst people behaving badly & without filter (racist senators, Melania’s boyfriend drama, infighting, etc) so a good portion of that $40 million might just be hush money to insure the raw footage never escapes.

I'm loath to find the humor in Trump greenlighting a movie for his (alleged) sexual predator buddy, but if RUSH HOUR 4 happens a JCVD-led BLOODSPORT sequel is a mortal lock.

Ian, you're an NFL reporter. You've been to Los Angeles. Surely you've carved out the time to hit up The Apple Pan. If not, do it posthaste and repent.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Not a joke: Trump just greenlit RUSH HOUR 4. It will be directed by Brett Ratner, a pig of a human being who has been accused of sexual assault by six women. He also harassed Elliot Page and outed him. Disgusting and depressing on so many levels I don't know where to start.

I really wish comedians I love and respect would stop going on this asshole's show. I assume there are favors getting paid off, but, goddamn, burn that bridge. Maher ain't worth your soul.

I maintain that BACURAU is one of the best films of the 21st century. Also boasts a brilliant deployment of Udo Kier. No shame in starting here and working back.
