Why did she need reintroducing? Is it that she needed to change all her policies?

The passage below reveals the true motive behind the NY Times hit piece on Bari and the Free Press: envy.

When Bari left the Times in 2020, her career was supposed to die a quick death, as far as they were concerned. Instead, she won the break up by doing what few people thought possible: creating a real competitor to legacy media outlets.

What irks them most is not that Bari curates interesting articles. It's that she also gets the kind of insane scoops that are supposed to be the special province of legacy media––e.g., Aleksei Navalny's posthumous letters!

That turns the Free Press from an interesting newsletter into something far scarier: a true competitor.

It was considered impossible to create a competitor to legacy car companies. Then Tesla did it. And the incumbents hated them for it.

It was considered impossible to create a competitor to legacy media outlets that have brand loyalty going back a century.

Now the Free Press has done it and, predictably, the incumbents hate us for it. @bariweiss @TheFP @nytimes

I love visiting America because it gives you a different perspective.

Americans instinctively understand why censorship is bad - their country only exists because free men were unwilling to put up with government tyranny.

Most Americans don't feel entitled to put their hand in someone else's pocket - they believe that the best way for society to work is if its citizens are self-reliant but cooperative. Americans love working together with others in their community but hate government interference in their lives.

Most of all, Americans know that there is no one coming to save them, at both the individual and national level and they act accordingly.

America has an amazing geostrategic position, an abundance of resources, a huge territory with room to grow and expand but, above all, they have the culture of a nation that tamed a continent.

I know there is much division and discord in the US right now but I also know that if America was to face a genuine challenge, its spirit is alive and would rise to meet it.

The weirdest thing about the press’s current behavior is that it has forgotten both that Joe Biden is still president and that Kamala Harris is the vice-president. The whole thing is being treated as a competition for a currently vacant White House.

Uh, yeah there is. Misinformation and hate speech are literally protected by the First Amendment.

Shout out to everyone who is doing honest work, treating people well, telling the truth, raising good kids, and doing good things to make the world better. Big and small.

The world is held together by a quiet army of decent people.

I appreciate you even if I don't know you!

An amazing fact about this election is that the Republicans could have chosen someone else.

Photo journalist @EvgenyFeldman has the first photos of some of the Russian dissidents, just released

Look at Vladimir @vkaramurza. He said he feared he’d die in prison
He’s not an assassin or a spy. He was given 25 years only because of his opposition to Vladimir Putin

SCOOP: We investigate Haniyah's assassination. An explosive device detonated in his room in a heavily guarded IRGC compound, smuggled in & planted two months ago, Middle Easter, Iranian & American sources say. W/ @ronenbergman @MarkMazzettiNYT

Men punching women in the face shouldn’t be a competitive Olympic sport.

@charlescwcooke You have to think theyre in on the joke at this point right?

[Noam Blum @neontaster]

SCOOP: Harris campaign official tells me she changed her position and now believes we must be fully burdened by what has been.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

Too good.

[Bridget Phetasy @BridgetPhetasy]

America is wondering whether their president is alive or dead and it’s like the third weirdest thing that’s happened in the past 9 days.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

I’m reading all these stories about the failures of the Secret Service, and I’m just shocked by the idea that the federal government might be incompetent.

[Chrissy Roto @chrissyroto]

lol

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

I still think the best strategy is for Democrats to go to Delaware and congratulate Joe Biden on two successful terms in office and ask him to speak at the DNC as the endorser for his Vice President’s nomination as president.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Have kids. They're awesome. That's it, that's the tweet.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

I’m told by a doctor friend that Biden has that strain of Covid that requires him to quarantine until he’s officially the nominee of the Democratic Party. It’s a brutal mutation.

“Term limits for the justices so that they don’t work into their dotage is an interesting flex for Biden” —hilarious coworker

[Noam Blum @neontaster]

The truth is both sides can be extremely reckless in their rhetoric and the only way to end it is for people to stop saying "you do it first" and say "I'll lead by example and do it first myself." But, like, how is that ever going to happen?
