“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.
Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us

we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.

Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

After the Feb. 3, 2023 Norfolk Southern train derailment & chemical disaster in East Palestine, OH, the EPA assured local residents everything was safe. That's not what independent testing expert Scott Smith found... @therealnews.com

CBS and 60 Minutes may not bring you the CECOT story that aired in Canada, and I can understand why the Trump admin wants it memory holed.

What happened there is horrendous and shamefully done in the name of the American people.

I interviewed a CECOT survivor.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes.

Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.
The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

OK, so the 60 Minutes CECOT video is leaked. It's out there. Now CBS has to broadcast it. If they don't then they're cowards.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

2. What he says about climate is patently false (more on that later) but to the extent he's saying "politicians shouldn't do the right thing unless it's popular", I'd note only that that is a toddlers view of leadership. If the popular kids are mean, should you be mean?

Every couple of days recently one of the old Twitter scold guys from back in the day realize both I and The Onion are doing well despite not interacting with them in any way and they spiral a little. New phenomenon but a funny one. They still think that website is the whole world. It's a sickness.

Forgot about that guy. Is he still doing trans panic stuff? He stopped me on the street once and immediately launched into a story about how he had been kicked out of a house party because of his coverage of trans people. I was like "okay buddy gotta go!" One of the weirder interactions of my life.

I'd get so angry at the way my dad was never given time to rest. It's not like a hospital's comfortable to start with, but he couldn't get more than a couple hours of sleep at a time because of the constant interruptions.

He tried to help the people, risked his life, kicked the weapon away, cops shot him, bystanders kicked his ass & now they want to deport him.

I guess that is one way to cover up your massive fsck up.

Seems a bit on the nose for a nation known for their PM shitting himself in a maccas bathroom.
Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
