A disillusioned Liberal Democrat who might make the switch—if only the Republicans would go back to their (kinda) bad old ways vs. this Trump-infused poison.

@WajahatAli Stop acting like this started with the recent scandal. Many other red flags. Guy should be nowhere near office.

I am not a Charlie Kirk fan.
You distorted what he said, purposely, so that it would support your viewpoint, rather than making the case based on facts and fair play. This is not journalism, opinion or otherwise. Their mistake was firing you for the wrong reason, but you should be fired.

I feel like this whole Platner situation could’ve been avoided if a bunch of upper middle class leftists hadn’t seen the most obvious red flags imaginable and thought, “that’s just what rough, salty, Ohio Waffle House type working class people are like”

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@ijbailey Wow, I am totally agreeing with you lately!

@EmmaVigeland The truth or falsity of an idea doesn’t depend on who believes it.

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@DavidAFrench Ok, my mind meld with David French is now 99 percent complete. I'm not even sure I should bother to have my own thoughts anymore.

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@QasimRashid HE'S not even saying this. Not are his people: most of this stuff is barely in effect. Jesus, fan boy!

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

Ok, agree with all. But not the conclusion. Platner sent those texts last year. His Kik profile was still up and he knows what tattoo is and continues to lie about that. And he wasn't blackout drunk for any of it. People like this should not be running for office. It's cumulative and not from high school.

@lyndseyfifield Don't blame the Times. It's a fair story and normal people believe you. It was always going to be the insane partisans who were going to pile on and make excuses and apply to you a double standard they they would never dare apply to a woman on their "side."

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@AliceFromQueens People are not all one thing. Being a military vet does not excuse all of his personal failings. This man should be nowhere near office.

@Megmd514 @NYCMayor @GaleBrewerNYC @MarkLevineNYC @nicolegelinas @SquarePegDem @cherylcasone There are two setups like this directly on the promenade leading to the Mayor's house.

Interviewers have loooooong been chosen with at least some input from the interviewee. Not always, but definitely not never. Why are people in the media pretending they don't know this and that these negotiations aren't fairly typical?

I want to say something about @60Minutes since so many conservatives are trashing it.

When my Dad was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma and we were trying to decide who he and my mother should sit down with and talk about the end days of his life - we ultimately landed on Leslie Stahl and @60Minutes. Leslie came to our ranch in Sedona and sat down and profiled both my parents together for an exclusive sit down. We ultimately chose Leslie because of her prestige as a journalist and respected history of the show.

Leslie and her crew were simultaneously professional and respectful of the delicate emotional state my entire family was in. She was in our secluded home as we all grappled with the concept that my dad was dying and fast from a rare cancer in front of the entire world. She and her producers did a wonderful job. Feel free to watch it, it’s beautifully done. This is not a situation just any person without experience can airdrop and handle the dynamics of. This is not something a rookie commentator or podcaster could have maneuvered with the respect needed. Experience does matter.

Not all legacy media is garbage nor are all reporters. This “throw all the bastards out” mentality is obnoxious and just going to breed more insanity and distrust on both sides.

I don’t want woke journalism. I don’t want anitwoke journalism. I just want great journalism.

Be careful what you wish for conservatives, - there could come a day when Rachel Maddow is put in charge instead of Bari Weiss and then tell me how you feel. The pendulum swings both ways.

@dilanesper I think I am normal. I care. From a judgement perspective--the dude is cracked. I don't think he's a Nazi. But I don't think he's a stable or decent candidate.

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

Every single one of these is newsworthy. NYTimes would interview any of them: it's never who you interview it's in the many decisions made in terms of how to shape the coverage. I am sure you can find some flaws with that, maybe more or maybe less than average, but not in the names themselves.

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@feelsdesperate @redsteeze I was consistent!
Franken and Ansari especially egregious. Not sure this story should have been reported.

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@krystalball @grahamformaine So it's believe all women now, but not conservative women? Got it.
Story is stupid, but not for the reason you're putting forth.

[PoliticallyAnnoyed @MillieOfferman]

@dilanesper Agree. He's a pig and I think a bad nominee, but can we stop it already? This doesn't reach the level of warranting a story.
