"Every day I have to marvel at what the billionaires and Fox News pulled off. They got working whites to hate the very people that want them to have more pay, clean air, water, free healthcare and the power to fight back against big banks & big corps."

Actual "pro-life":

"A low-income resident of San Francisco lives so much longer that it's equivalent to San Francisco curing cancer.

All these statistics come from a massive new project on life expectancy and inequality that was just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association."

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The last two pieces about Econ/markets I’ve seen from Substack lead me to believe that whole platform has exceeded TikTok in its levels of disinformation, fabulism, and outright lying.

This cover oozes with contempt for the magazine’s history and its readership
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

also, frankly, RFK's personal story is way less important than the fact that he is going to kill many, many people.

It's still infuriating that Condé Nast fired a bunch of really good journalists but went out of its way to hire this walking ethical failure
Scoop: As questions swirl around Olivia Nuzzi, I’ve learned she’s been relatively absent in the day-to-day at Vanity Fair, as the magazine continues to weather the storm the controversial hire brought through 1 World Trade Center

Ryan Lizza is doing with his Substack what YouTubers have already perfected: taking serious allegations they’re personally involved with and turning them into melodrama to deflect from any of their own culpability and wrongdoing and monetize the shit out of it. Not journalism plus it’s embarrassing

Shawn McCreesh, who wrote today's misty water-colored nostalgia story about Jeffrey Epstein's "Lost New York" at NYT, told St. John's j-school students last year that journalism is great because “It gives you this all-access pass to interact with these people we would otherwise never come across.”

Love the one about the establishment press not deciding who the public takes seriously, written by a member of the establishment press desperately trying to get the public to take her boyf seriously.

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

also unclear why lizza felt comfortable sitting on this (alleged) information till now, when it became convenient fodder for a grudge match, instead of earlier, when it could have saved people’s lives.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!

Wow, this article published by @npr.org in August 2024, they accused Harris of lying about: Trump wanting to jail is enemies, Trump enacting Project2025, Trump cutting healthcare & social welfare programs, Trump cutting taxes for rich, Trump raising taxes for working families with tariffs ...

Holy shit. Look at this absolute dogshit from NPR before the election. They are absolutely complicit in Trump getting the job. The first thing they challenge Harris on is THIS. And the rest of the list will blow your mind. She was literally right about everything
