My one Olivia Nuzzi story is that I criticized her on Twitter several times over the years, but after I retweeted one of her stories (maybe the Stormy Daniels one?) she sent me this DM. Knowing I had all these past critical tweets out there, I found it so awkward that I just completely ignored it

I said this on Twitter but many of the people who immediately defended her and pretended that we were all naive were other journalists

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

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

One thing about the end of the latest piece from Ryan Lizza about how corrupt Olivia Nuzzi is: the artist mentioned here is the same one who Vanity Fair commissioned to do the "abstract nude" painting of Nuzzi

This is the first Ravens-Bengals Thanksgiving game. The Bengals lost their only Thanksgiving game to the Jets in 2010. The Ravens won the first Harbaugh Bowl against the 49ers in 2011 and then a classic 2013 contest with the Steelers. They're 2020 rematch was delayed by COVID

Lamar Hunt really wanted the Chiefs to be the 3rd Thanksgiving team, as they hosted AFL holiday games from 1967 to 1969. The NFL never game it to them, so the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys have only played on Thanksgiving once before, when Dallas won 24-12 in 1995

Tomorrow's game will be the record 23rd time the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions have played each other on Thanksgiving. They played for 13 straight years from 1951 through 1963, then in 1984, 1986, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2023. Lions lead the series 12-9-1

To that point, I would very much like to know which journalist friends Nuzzi also told these things to

If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.
If the Nuzzi blast radius doesn't impact both the new editor of VF and the NYT profiler, then something wrong. Holy shit.

An incredible disconnect in American society right now as a President in the 30s is forcing Paramount to make Rush Hour 4 and demolishing the East Wing. Trump narrowly winning the popular vote gave him the appearance of a mandate that he's never had over the course of a decade-plus
