revisiting my 2024 interview with @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social about ben smith/nuzzi/journalism ethics, which i think aged quite well: www.thehandbasket.co/p/david-folk...
So I think that it's fun and clever to say that this isn't important, but of course it's important. It affects what you think, it affects what you're doing. My feeling is you can do almost anything as a journalist that you're willing to disclose to your editors, but also to your audiences. And if you're uncomfortable disclosing it to your audiences, maybe that's a sign that it's something you shouldn't be doing. And the reason that that information was withheld was that Nuzzi knew it would be compromising, problematic and probably disqualifying. Ben writes at the end of his thing, “before I turn in my badge, I have to say you should tell your editors” about a personal relationship with a source. He’s right. Now what he doesn't say is, “and your editors will probably take that decision out of your hands and say you've gotta change beats, or you've gotta do something else.”

Does an article somewhere exist outlining why people hate that guy so much? I’m not a New Yorker, and I know he killed a ground hog bc he’s a tall oaf, but don’t know much more than that.

It’s all nonsense, but here is the context: www.texastribune.org/2025/03/31/t...
North Texas Islamic center is now under criminal investigation — but it’s unclear why
The Collin County Commissioners Court is also holding a hearing Monday afternoon to discuss the proposed project.

Think Texas has a cheaper tax burden than California? Think again.
"When people are like, 'Oh California is so much more expensive than Texas,' that’s the top income tax rate."

Did Iran drag things out? We’re 6 months into Trump’s term?

From the piece: “Musk sometimes refers to people he holds in contempt as “NPCs,” videogame speak for characters who aren’t controlled by players and thus have no agency. More than just an insult, the term, I think, reveals something about his worldview. He either doesn’t view most other people as entirely real or doesn’t see the point of treating them as such. As he told Joe Rogan this year, “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy,” referring to the emotion as a “bug” in our system.”

I think Frigga fits into more decks that are actually powerful, so I’d count this as a win.

Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.
