Absolutely essential reading. As usual, @markjacob.bsky.social is spot on.
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

How to build a radically truthful news outlet
The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

We know who the "domestic terrorist" is.
It's not murder victim Renee Nicole Good.
It's this woman, Kristi Noem, who encourages ICE to kill and terrorize people and then lies about it.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

The president doesn’t have a constitutional right to impose a tariff because he doesn’t like a foreign country’s TV ad. I know this doesn’t matter to the dictator in the White House, but I thought I’d point it out in case we ever start following the Constitution again.

The New York Times’ cynicism is intolerable. After Trump began demolishing part of the East Wing for his ballroom project, NYT noted that Trump said in July it “won’t interfere with the current building.” Instead of casting that as a lie, NYT softens it by saying his promise “seemed unrealistic.”

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.
