On New Year’s night, Russian forces launched waves of drone and missile strikes targeting Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk region, and Volyn. Over 100,000 people in Volyn lost power. Residential buildings in Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk were damaged, but fires are now contained.

I’ve seen a million media stories about how sad Republican voters in CA are about losing their Republican representatives.
But I don’t think I’ve seen a single one talking about Demoratic voters in Texas, or North Carolina, or Missouri losing their representatives.

Why did BS stories like the John Kerry swiftboating and Obama birtherism get into major media? Because news bosses wanted to show their “fairness.” I know this because I edited the Chicago Tribune’s first story on Obama’s birth certificate. We didn’t want to touch it. The higher-ups made us. 9/10 🧵

A 2022 study found that most journalists (51.7%) were independent. Those identifying as Republican fell from 18% percent in 2002 to 3.4% in 2022. Again, not a leftist plot. My theory: Fact-based people were put off by GOP lies. (If you don't think Republicans lie a lot, I can’t help you.) 5/10 🧵
Key Findings From The 2022 American Journalist Study
Executive Summary
This survey continues the series of major national studies of U.S. journalists begun in 1971 by sociologist John Johnstone and continued in 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2013 by David Weaver...

People not in the US routinely downplay the degree to which law enforcement in this country is willing to kill us.
In grad school I referenced this analysis that found that cops in the US kill more people than "criminals" do in other countries. And that's routine.

Immigration is incredible because it's one of the few policy areas where people are willing to suffer real, concrete consequences in order to solve completely imaginary problems.
ICE raids appear to be 100% responsible for the current housing crunch in south Texas. Indeed, they have brought residential construction to an end.
South Texas homebuilders say ICE arrests have slowed work
More than 380 people attended an impromptu meeting that industry leaders in the Rio Grande Valley hosted to draw attention to the chilling effect ICE arrests have had on construction.

Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD.
But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.

to Bari (verb): To attempt to bury a damaging political story—only to amplify it massively by drawing attention to the act of censorship itself.
Example:
“They tried to Bari the segment, but it got Streisanded and everyone watched it twice.”

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is a very astute observation. I hadn't thought about Keith Kellogg, he just disappeared from the scene. It makes perfect sense that Putin would want to fainthearted guy like Witkoff doing the negotiations. 🗽

Two days before the show was to air, Weiss suggested revamping it, including adding interviews of Stephen Miller, whose personal contact information she has (of course). Also objected to calling migrants migrants.
