If I came to an editor with a bat sh*t crazy op/ed pitch like this without one example to prove my point beyond Trump's election denier speech (what?), I'd be told no thanks, this doesn't cut it. I'm shocked USA Today ran with this nonsense. Yikes.
USA TODAY OpinionOpinion: The most powerful sword the left wields against Trump and is omission. Selective silence. Hide the positives, and the American people never hear them.
liberal bubble? I prefer thinking of blue sky as not a nazi swamp.
The VergeBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Weighing in from Chicago with a blue city fact check: This is today from the heart of the city.
Aaron RuparTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Trump has proven he is not restrained by norms or laws so the idea that any serious news outlet would report that what Trump says is a 'joke' is truly mind boggling. Mark's done a good job here of reminding us just how serious Trump's 'jokes' are. open.substack.com/pub/stopthep...
Iran being a more credible source of info than the US govt is one of those crazy never thought that would happen things but here we are....
Leah McElrath⚠️ Reuters: Iran says NO talks are underway or planned, contradicting Trump’s claims.
Alfonsi & Pelley are two of the country's top investigative reporters. It's an absolute shame that Bari Weiss' CBS News/ 60 Minutes doesn't see the value in that critical work but good for Columbia for giving their students an opportunity to learn from the best of the best.
Justin BaragonaColumbia Journalism School names Sharyn Alfonsi and Scott Pelley as journalists in residence, which will see them mentoring students and contributing to the Columbia Journalism Review. journalism.columbia.edu/news/sharyn-...
"...in his nightmares, he sees the agents of the American government lunging towards him, over and over. This time, they kill him." Incredible, stomach churning piece from @minnesotareformer.com of the @statesnewsroom.com about an absolutely vile assault by ICE during the Minnesota occupation.
Minnesota ReformerOn Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.
How much has Bari Weiss changed CBS News? Her fact free smears of Mayor Mamdani are a regular feature in the 'Free Press.' Now CBS News is doing it, too. Read this deep dive by @popular.info on the 9/11 smear. open.substack.com/pub/populari...
The new CBS is a leaning into right coded talking heads like Sir Trevor and Ross Douthat. Trump will be thrilled. “The only thing I’m really known for is banging on about whether multiculturalism is right, or what some would call ‘wokery’.” - Phillips in the Telegraph variety.com/2026/tv/glob...
This MAGA makeover at the WaPo opinion section is very similar to the right coded shift at CBS News. Both chasing Trump's approval AND a MAGA audience.
StatusDays before his abrupt exit from The WaPo, Adam O’Neal was privately boasting that he had pushed the Opinion section further to the right—raising new questions about what really drove his departure. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/adam-oneal...
Here's a solid fact check by CNN following Kennedy's sewer of lies. It's a start but they need to do more including a substantial video segment broadcast live on TV just like this bat sh*t crazy interview was. www.cnn.com/2026/08/02/p...
I'd like to see CNN follow-up on this lie-filled interview with some really aggressive fact checking. Not a piece buried on the website but a live TV segment with Daniel Dale. CNN did have a quick fact check type interview with an actual Dr after this hot mess but the network needs to do more.
Alt headline: Trump polling hits historic new low. Barely a third of Americans approve of his handling of the job. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
"rushed to the White House to surrender" "bent without a fight" This overview of what happened at Paul Weiss could be any number of law firms, but also universities, corporations- including media outlets, and also Republican lawmakers. Shameful.
