I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

When the story of media complicity in the rise of American fascism is written, this tweet by a Politico reporter last July should be duly noted.

Every Democrat should be on every media outlet the moment a shutdown starts hammering Trump, Musk, and the GOP. Say they had a deal until Musk opposed it, the GOP cowered, and Trump allowed it. Call them weak, spineless puppets. Pin every second of it on their cowardice and greed. And don't stop.

The world has gone mad. That's it. That's my tweet.
Morning Joe addresses yesterday's David Frum remark ("If you're too drunk for Fox News, you're very very drunk indeed") and Atlantic column:
"It wasn't the sound of fear, it was the sound of civility. I'm not fearful."
He also takes a dig at @gtconway.bsky.social but whatever

Without ascribing too much thought or consideration on the part of T***p, is it possible that he's just pushing tarriffs as a distraction... backing off at the last minute, claiming a victory of some kind, all the fear and headlines just being a way to have us keep our attention from the real game?
