I’m not sure comparing yourself to Christ is the best way to deal with any situation.

Jack Schlossberg’s full video post denouncing RFK Jr.

Guthrie obediently parrots the standard weak-knee editors' admonition about not sounding "harsh." #savannahguthrie

[(((anti-antisemite))) “Antizionism”=Jew hate @Tristanshouts]

@cwebbonline @bannerite It’s very telling that when Jack Schlossberg begins to explain why he supports President Biden, Guthrie interrupts him to accuse of him being “harsh” toward RFK Jr. Why did she decide her job was to defend RFK Jr, I wonder.

Excuse me, excuse me. Are you ready? Defendant, you are wrong about everything you say. You’re lying and you know it.

Is this what passes for smart commentary on the radio? Sheesh. Sure, Boebert is a slob, but these three people are almost inarticulate. No wonder most of Europe regards us as morons. #howardstern #Boebert

What a moment. President Biden is in New York & just finished dinner. When he got up, he talked to people in the restaurant as others stood from their tables & started applauding him. When Biden left the restaurant, people cheered for him from their apartment. We love Joe Biden.

"[Biden] could cure Alzheimer’s, and the media would lead with the fact that he failed to cure Parkinson’s."

If anyone deserves a victory lap, it's President Biden. He's had many historic achievements as President, it's time they started being touted.https://t.co/Fv1xtLvrjx

Once upon a time, NBC News was regarded as a serious news organization. #NBCNews #msnbc

[Dan Froomkin (PressWatchers.org) @froomkin]

In these clips, Trump utters about 30 different lies, and there's zero pushback from Kristen Welker, who instead calls him "fired up" and "defiant" – and "the president." This is, actually, worse than the CNN town hall in terms of normalizing a maniac. https://t.co/WRAIDOtgS3

To compare "newspaper" readership to right wing media note that big newspapers have large digitals like the NY Times, with has 740,000 print and 9 million paid online subscribers. #media tps://newrepublic.com/article/175612/two-medias-trump-2024-spectacle Follow @newrepublic

True enough, but you can't compare "newspaper" readership to right wing media without noting that major newspapers have large digital readerships, like the NY Times, which has 740,000 print and nearly 9 million paid online subscribers. #media

I watched Meet the Press nearly every week when I was younger.
The observations were straightforward & honest.
The conversations were engaging and smart.
That was the magic of Tim Russert.
The fact that they’ve turned the show into pathetic punchline is an insult to his legacy.
