lawyers can make for shitty politicians if they forget that the nuance so vital to a legal brief is often poison in politics
this statement is Very Technically Correct, when what it needed to be was Visibly Angry (and we know she knows how to do that)

i've seen multiple people mad this morning about that "senate negotiators want more ice funding story," which:
-- is from a paywalled outlet on substack called migrant insider that i have never heard of before
-- in the two free grafs does not identify which side those negotiators are on
-- is from a paywalled outlet on substack called migrant insider that i have never heard of before
-- in the two free grafs does not identify which side those negotiators are on
I'm gonna go a step further than Post here & also note that what fuels this dysfunction is twofold. #1: v few ppl click thru on links posted on social media to read the actual articles & #2: whats developed out of that is a practice of rage bait posts/headlines in order to get engagement pre click
I'm going to be very blunt here: headlines like this and articles like this are a significant part of our media problem because they make people believe things that aren't true

the thing that none of these paeans to comity ever wrestle with is that, in this country, one side's entire thing is "you do you" and the other side's entire thing is "you do what we tell you." one side pushing for coexistence and the other pushing for extermination
guess which dude gets lectured?

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

"someone should really do something about that" pretty much sums up the entire elite response to the last decade
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.

one of the fundamental challenges of the liberal project: if you fail at something -- say, publishing a book -- you can be open to the possibility that you suck, or you can find somebody saying you never had a chance for reasons outside your control
i don't know how you get folks to pick the former

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

it brings to mind trump's obvious desire for the nobel peace prize. they're all so incredibly certain that they are the best at whatever it is they do
and i can understand that when you actually are good at something yet you let the ego get a little too swollen, but when you straight-up suck?

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

the only thing they actually want is for the maitre d' at the nice restaurant to alight with recognition and mutter "OH, ms. nuzzi! give me just one moment and i'll have a table for you" and the subsequent strut down the runway as everyone cranes their necks to see who's getting vip treatment
The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.
