If they were capable of shame, they probably wouldn't be working for a paper where this biased, bullshit framing happens on the regular.
because very stable geniuses always talk like that
Wayne, you've confirmed Sen. Petersen turned over election-related records to the FBI? Did you happen to ask WHAT records?
Haven't seen anything but speculation, along with actual election officials saying THEY haven't received any subpoenas.
Would be helpful to ask Petersen what he means, no?
Harry, he can't "hand over keys to election" because the AZ Senate doesn't run elections. Not sure what records he might've given to the FBI ... I haven't seen anyone ask him or his office that direct follow-up question. Seems worth finding out.
Hey media people, if you're going to quote Sen. Petersen's claim that "The FBI has the records," don't you think you should ask him WHAT records?
Seems like an important detail.
Appalling behavior from @nbcwashington.com
"Journalists covering the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran should be telling their audiences not only what they know but what they were prevented from finding out, and by whom."
Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”
So much winning.
30+ years ago, Stewart Guthrie wrote Faces In the Clouds: A New Theory of Religion, in which he argued that "systematic anthropomorphism" -- seeing human traits in non-human things -- explains pretty much everything, including religion.
The Latter-day Church of AI is proving his point.

As if Iran's litany of grievances stretching back to 1953 didn't factor into what happened in '79.

Behold the unmitigated gall of under-melanated men, unaware (or unashamed) of their utter mediocrity.

The US in Iran: pro-democracy since '53.
Senior foreign correspondents spent nearly 4 decades drinking the Neocon Kool-Aid. They are almost all useless.
The younger ones haven't been anywhere and don't know anything.
But at least we have reputable media outlets that relentlessly seek to uncover the truth no matter the cost, right?
Oh.

Irony is the master trope of late modernity. That was a master trophy of unironic self-debasement.
Unlawful. Unnecessary. Unwise. (and yet Unsurprising)

I've seen this movie more than once before, and it doesn't have a happy ending.
Stop the madness.

@marisakabas.bsky.social has identified the central paradox of our time:
What happens when an unstoppable evil meets an immovable stupid?
Corruption is a bipartisan initiative.
<insert "They're the same picture" meme from The Office>
once a year the brunchlords at Semafor host a "restoring trust in news" conference where they unironically platform most of the people responsible for destroying trust in news, then lob softball questions at them
this year's lineup is a real doozy
(notice the complete absence of indie media)
