I was struck by her assertion that news should help us decide where to send our kids to school. Color me suspicious. Given the right’s decades-long assault on public schools I wouldn’t trust what private-school princess Weiss has to say about that topic. I bet she’s a privatization/for-profit fan.

Great article. I love that Steve Bannon who was convicted of defrauding “Build the Wall” donors is accusing Sachs of ethical problems. He’s just jealous that this tech bro has more clout and money than he does. They’re a nest of vipers.
That’s the law and order party for you.

They all have no-paywall substacks too. You can also read Jared Bernstein’s free substack. They are all very informative and data based.

Does no one remember Trump wanted the Central Park 5 executed even after they were proven innocent by a DNA analysis of the actual killer

Who in the world pays someone to help them build a relationship with their grandkids? This is clearly a problem for the 1% who have money to burn.
The Atlantic is one of those publications that lectures us Dems about being out of touch with ordinary (i.e. real) Americans. It’s blatant projection.

The pearl-clutchers at The Atlantic are once again looking for new ways to divide us. I know a lot of grandparents but have never once heard anyone talk about this “problem”. What next? A new media-created Satanic Panic?

Maybe someday the mainstream “liberal” media will wake up and realize Republicans are the party that is bad for the economy and fiscally irresponsible. They still have Reagan, with his “self-funding” tax cuts for the rich, on a pedestal despite the fact that he nearly tripled our national debt.

When the rich’s out of control risk taking causes a collapse we taxpayers have to bail them out and they don’t pay a price. Then they make sure either no new regulations get enacted to prevent these disasters or they get Republicans to reduce the number of people enforcing those regulations.

Welcome to my world. In the past three decades there has been a grand total of two years that I have had a Dem Congressional representative. He was elected after the state Supreme Court threw out the R’s gerrymandered map but then R’s were able to re-gerrymander the map. Supreme Court is OK with it

My dad used to talk about how his Irish family looked down on the Poles, both groutlooked down on the Italians and they all looked down on the Puerto Ricans. All suffered from anti-Catholic bigotry but didn’t see that as a common bond. Those who had immigrated earlier were the real Americans.

Legacy media has been a failure for a very long time. Please read this article about the mainstream “liberal” media’s snarky, snotty coverage of Al Gore compared to their fawning coverage of Dubya. Those shallow fools thought Shrub was a better choice because he was “more fun to have a beer with”.
Going After Gore
Al Gore couldn't believe his eyes: as the 2000 election heated up, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other top news outlets kept going after him.

I wonder if she gave any favors to Jake Tapper to get him to help her take down Biden. He sure hasn’t been nearly as obsessed by Trump’s far worse mental decline.

Like so many in this administration odds are he is on Putin’s (crypto) payroll. Unfortunately our media is too intimidated to investigate.

…That house deal is the one Epstein said ended his friendship with Trump.
Everyone involved in these deals were wealthy and corrupt — Gosman, Epstein, Wexner, Trump, Deripaska.

I want someone to investigate just how many of these guys are on Putin’s payroll but crypto payments make that next to impossible. The evidence that Putin has been doing this is strong.

Nuzzi aiding and abetting a creep she was supposed to be reporting on is hardly an isolated incident. For years journalists preferred schmoozing with rich and powerful celebrity criminals and predators like Trump and Epstein rather than expose them.
Legacy media enabled Jeffrey Epstein
Epstein’s "glamorous" New York media milieu was also one where powerful men faced no consequences.
