Former journalist. Still care a lot about truth and proper word choice. Opinions my own.

@BrambleJim @mschultz_12 I’m actually having a hard time processing the governor’s decision to retweet this–and then to leave it up. Is he just refusing to read or listen to the updated information? Honestly don’t understand

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@mcsuggafree My guess is there will be a focus on the global south—targeting health issues there as well as training doctors from those regions to practice there. For what it’s worth, the University of Utah issued a statement of support.

@SharonGF_NBCT @GovCox @JStuartAdams To his credit, Cox shared a meme about mistaking being contradicted for being persecuted and acknowledged that he has been guilty of that.

@EliMcCann For the life of me I will never understand being so invested in being offended.

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@znoyce @SpencerJCox And not even the painting the governor thought it was. (For starters, there were more than 13 people at the table.) I hope someone has explained this to him by now.

@seagulljaap @SpencerJCox And that wasn’t even referencing the Last Supper! It was a Dionysian feast. The blue guy covered in ivy might have been a clue.

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@SizzlinFeminist @DeidreHenderson I believe that’s her point

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@Powdrskr1164 @KingForUtah Can’t wait to see our incumbent governor’s statement extolling this selfless and statesmanlike act of patriotism

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@onlyonecomment @JasmineForUS @cbouzy I believe Raskin said “hear them out,” not “you should do as they suggest”

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@EliMcCann @SpencerJCox He’s now saying the former guy is the only one who can heal our nation, à la Abraham Lincoln. And he is saying this after last night’s speech. I’m truly at a loss

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@BrambleJim @SpencerJCox There’s Kinzinger with some facts: https://t.co/N75j0HFtBd

Tonight, you will hear Donald Trump paint a dark vision, and a false picture of his accomplishments. Let me tell you the truth:

#TrumpLies

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@NateForUtah The mind-boggling part is that he wrote this after the convention speech

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@StallionCornell That depends on whether you’re including everyone who thinks it’s wiser to stay the course among “the weird ‘Biden at all costs!’ people.” I’m alarmed at the panic spiral of the past four weeks because I don’t see a viable alternative plan.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Why are we allowing public officials to be unnamed in stories such as this? What is journalistically useful about publishing an anonymously sourced, non-essential, gossipy story? How does this help our already strained credibility? The journalistic ethics I was taught said we only used anonymous sources for the most critical stories when there was no other means of obtaining this critical information. In these unprecedented times, our field must hold itself to higher standards. We are failing in too many ways.

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@BrambleJim I don’t understand his point either. Like, is he suggesting that this is how she shows up every day for work?

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@TeamKingUtah @NateForUtah @SpencerJCox “vote harder”

“not like that”

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@BjaminWood I cannot get over the petulance and entitlement

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@znoyce Totally on brand

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@KingForUtah @SharonGF_NBCT Finally a cogent statement on this ruling from an elected official

[Cathy Newton @cathycomma]

@StevenBeschloss @SethAbramson Because his fellow Republicans are laser-focused on “winning.” It is the only thing that matters to them
