“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

04.10.2025 19:02 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This is something that’s been bothering me. Folks often dont know the difference between commentary/journalism. Commentators benefit from not discussing the nuance by co-opting the appearance of journalistic standards. We see it repeat with influencers and journalists pay as trust continues to erode
04.10.2025 16:51 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0It’s perfectly acceptable to like the work of his firm and also 1) acknowledge that he makes money off many of the cases his reporters are covering and 2) understand that fundraising for non profit journalism shouldn’t work like that at all.
04.10.2025 15:31 — 👍 9 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0I don’t think calling yourself a journalist and fundraising off coverage you personally profit from is the right thing. Sorry.

He’s also charging other places that do journalism in press freedom cases. This is not a journalist. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...
04.10.2025 03:59 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Media Matters shouldn't be paying for this at all. a big firm should be doing this pro bono. this is about basic press freedom.
and Elias, if they stand by their convictions, shouldn't be charging them. if they don't have the capacity to take the case for free, they shouldn't have taken it.
I don’t call people by nicknames if I dont know them. Do you make a practice of that?
