apparently β€œbari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten β€” just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

He's literally saying that the anti-fascists who fought the LITERAL NAZIS were the bad guys. At an official White House event. My kingdom for one fucking WH press member to say SOMETHING to challenge this. Speak truth to power, FFS.

So let me get this straight: The President of the United States and a bunch of his fascist friends are at the White House right now talking about how they're going to go after anti-fascists, and the mainstream press is treating this as just another political story? Did I get that right?

If you can't run your business without stealing, your business is a criminal enterprise. Hope that helps.

This isn't a surprise. Plenty of people warned this exact thing would happen. But that doesn't make it any less shocking that it actually is happening.

I know it’s easy to get inured to this stuff but imagine a podcast ep where @mikeduncan.bsky.social is telling you about this happening in some other country at the same time that a crisis in parliament has shut down the national budget.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Bullshit. It's literally a journalist's job to ask tough followup questions. Just as it's the job of any politician who wants to actually get elected to answer those questions. Frankly, I expect this of MAGA candidates, not Democrats.

Not a great look. It's a journalist's job to ask followup questions. Otherwise, they're not a journalist, they're a stenographer. Disappointing to say the least.

How much do I love democracy? I'm spending my evening cold-calling strangers around dinner time to defend it. That's how much I love democracy. Vote YES on Prop 50, folks.

Top CA Republican vowed to cut waste, corruption. His spending says otherwise An investigation by The Bee raises questions about the new leader’s registered address, his travel stipend and his personal conduct.

New investigation from me into the new Republican Leader of the CA Assembly, Heath Flora.

I dug into Flora's voluminous campaign finance records and drove down to his legal address to see who lives there (not him!)

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

We've become numb to genocidal rhetoric around trans people.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Hey chat is it cool when an elected official uses the word β€œcleansing” to refer to uprooting a class of people

Less than a year into the Trump admin and the National Governors Association, founded over 115 years ago, is on the brink of collapse.

But I thought if you smeared someone and they were then the victim of violence, that meant you had to be fired from your job.

Or does Fox News only think that applies to teachers?
