You always reach a point in the brilliant writings of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social when you realise this is what American journalism at this moment should be like, and instead it's mostly bog-standard corporate hackery. And that's the "good" stuff.

Besides the point but this ostensibly neutral new report begins with, “US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official…” and objectively there is no peace in Gaza.
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Have the Democratic Party, the Center for American Progress, and the architects of Project 2029 disavowed Larry Summers?
He's advising all of them and is a major liberal power player.
He was also used by the Dem establishment to attack Mamdani.
If they have, great; if not, why not?

the thing about Nichols's argument is that he (like many conservatives in polisci) conflates Fascism and Totalitarianism as tho they were synonyms rather than two distinct phenomena that sometimes converge in a single state.

That’s also what would win acceptance. The reason that the right-wing media ecosystem works so well is that somebody like Rogan isn’t fully dictated to by the RNC.
(One could make the same argument about the Dems, but I think they’re terrified of losing control and assume the MSM is reliable).

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact
