I have a journalism degree and deeply hate "media" as a homogenous descriptor so appreciate "some" but it seems like there is a part of journalism filled with amoral, broken people. I started seeing it with COVID and more recently, stuff like Bari Weiss saying, "What is the point of standards?"

It's just like how the Northwestern shit was about "anti-Semitism." It's about trying to eradicate an entire type of people and it's horrible. I'm really sorry this is happening.

I'm unsure how to feel about it. I work as a science writer at a university (Penn State), and I've seen both here and among the faculty I work with mixed reports about this. Some feel it's exaggerated, some feel it's bad. I think what you are saying has a lot of validity, though.

I'll add that I am also a comm guy (at Penn State but live in a tiny town 10 miles west of the U), so it makes it extra frustrating. In addition, the level of poverty in rural PA, especially in the counties surrounding Centre, is pretty bad, so a good policy plus good messaging could be worth it.

As a Dem living in rural central PA, I can say that this was already done under Biden. However, the messaging sucked so no one knew about it. Trust me, you are fighting 24/7 Fox News, it's everywhere, in every waiting room, bar, pizza place, etc. You need a perfect effort in such an environment.

One of my college friends, who is now a Dem, was a Reagan conservative back in the 80s and I really wish I had recorded our stoned debates on Reagan just for his part of it. Comic gold.

It's even worse than that. A fundamentalist protestant like Johnson doesn't go to confession; that's a Catholic thing. He thinks that as long as he considers himself a Christian, when he dies, Jesus will tell him "all good, man" so he can more or less do whatever.
