The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.
The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.
And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Crow: There’s actually no ideology. Donald Trump doesn’t believe in fiscal conservatism. He doesn’t believe in conservative philosophy. He actually doesn’t believe in anything other than his own personal grievances—who he likes or dislikes on any given day—and his power. That’s what he believes in.

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

No cable news host in America so fearlessly speaks the truth: Lawrence O'Donnell's fearlessness in documenting the corruption, degeneracy, and stupidity of the dumbest and most incompetent president in history is a ray of hope in the current US hellscape of authoritarian fascism.

This. But for everything
Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.
Harvard was able to file a 72 page complaint less than 24 hours after Trump attacked foreign students. Guess they were expecting it

Now that Mr Trump mentioned them, I do recall stories once lost to the ravages of history of my great great grandmother and her friends gathering “groceries”. Ahh… the memories. So grateful.

Hey Greenland, why are you letting Americas planes land there?
Why don’t you deny Usha Vance and the crew landing clearance?
Fight back now or don’t be shocked when you can’t
