Every damn day. It’s exhausting.
NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.

This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

No, and when she published an opinion piece posing as one at FP, her response to a thorough debunking calling out numerous plain factual errors was to insist on a podcast debate about it, not a correction or retraction.
Asking this seriously: has Bari Weiss ever in her career reported out an investigative story?

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

It’s sickening but this has indeed been the Republican position since W Bush
imagine the kind of person you would have to be to watch that 60 Minutes segment and think "I must do everything I can to defend the people in charge of this process of sending people to be tortured."

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

The permitting reform “debate” is a sterling example of some misguided liberals inventing a reasonable conservative position to engage with that simply isn’t held by any conservatives with the power to implement it.

Seems weird to ask for "respect" during "contentious disagreements" when she actually didn't have a discussion with the producers/team?
During today's editorial call, Bari Weiss doubled down on pulling the CECOT segment while lashing out at Sharyn Alfonsi:

"The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one where we are able to have contentious disagreements about the thorniest and editorial matters, and do so with respect."

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

I somehow missed that Dan Savage was on Bluesky now. If you missed the memo, consider this your reminder that Dan Savage is a racist transphobe who has allied himself with Jesse Singal (!) and written racist screeds attacking Black people while dismissing the racism of white gays.

They were never defending freedom of speech. They were defending a right to monologue. The former cannot coexist with the latter.

I mean

You *know* why media is treating trans health care differently

But it is an important rhetorical framing, and I think more people need to use it

So why is journalism so susceptible to junk science, especially when it comes to sexual & gender minorities?
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.

It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?
The Neglected Front in RFK Jr.’s War on Science — Assigned
As trans healthcare is decimated no one is standing up for the integrity of the scientific process for these patients.

Good morning. This story is the lead at the Murdoch’s NY Post and third lead at the WSJ and Fox News.

It’s nowhere to be found at CBS News.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
