One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

The right-wing's treatment of the Paul Pelosi story has been truly appalling even by the degraded standards of our times.

@AlexisCoe A strangely modern book.

@jayrosen_nyu @Annpr @MeetThePress @atrupar @chucktodd I think what we should focus on is understanding and truth. Did this serve the viewers? Does the audience have a better understanding of this subject as a result of the interview? Or did this simply serve to amplify misinformation and complicate understanding?

[O.Z. Acosta @berkeley_based]

@jayrosen_nyu @MeetThePress @atrupar The pantomime of out political reporters is purely theatrical. Let's bring on a propagandist, present them with factual information, and give them a platform for amplifying misinformation and bad faith arguments. Occasionally with gentle pushback.

[Jay Rosen @jayrosen_nyu]

That without facts in common, interviewer and interviewee cannot meaningfully disagree with each other, let alone inform viewers, is a very basic idea that has not penetrated @MeetThePress. And we know that with the current host it never will. via @atrupar

@megynkelly Television personality, who plays a journalist on TV, goes clout chasing by biting at a more accomplished woman.

@jayrosen_nyu @latimes Lol. So, the new change at CNN is to start practicing journalism, as a test, and see how that goes?

Find something, anything, to be fundamentalist about, ideally something very, very old, because there will be no truth out there soon, none, just an endlessly shifting, windy phantasmagoria. So find a mast and lash yourself to it. Heck, even classical herbalism will do.

@clarissaward @Cigna Insurance is a scam.

What strikes me most about the WEF is how little disagreement there is. The largest matters on earth are at stake (supposedly) yet the conferees don't argue. They don't debate. All points seem smugly settled. It's an ego orgy, a great self-satisfied mutual grope.

@drvolts I've lived in all four of these cities and although I love Chicago, I can't understand how it's on a list of walkable cities. Unless you are thinking of the Loop, it's not walkable. It's massive.

This once-in-a-century humiliation of a party’s nominee for Speaker is chickens coming home to roost for McCarthy, who whitewashed right-wing insurrectionism on the House floor. Nobody’s getting killed now, but the House GOP now sleeps in the bed they made with Trump and Bannon.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Day One.

House Dems are united and ready to get to work.

Complete chaos on the other side of the aisle.

Police killed more people in America in 2022 than any other year on record. At least 1,176 people were killed by police nationwide - 3.2 killings per day. https://t.co/0VQVssR82S
