No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory party... (Nye Bevan)
A group of fanatical outsiders, wearing strange clothes that cover their faces, are disrupting our way of life. Apparently they're protesting fanatical outsiders who wear strange clothes, cover their faces and disrupt our way of life.
OUR HERO OF THE DAY IS:
Shawn McCreesh! He is the White House Reporter for the NYT, and the guy who dared to ask Trump about his claims that Iran stole Tomahawk Missiles!
We need more journalists with his courage!
Your thoughts?
“The ordinary person believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those of his own side, without ever bothering to examine the evidence.”
— George Orwell
🚨💪HELL YEAHHH: A reporter just did what every journalist in that room should be doing.
@ShawnMcCreesh looked the President of the United States in the eye and said:
“You suggested Iran bombed its own elementary school with a missile only America sells. You are the only person in your government saying this. Why?”
Trump’s response: “Whatever the report shows, I’m willing to live with it.”

That’s what accountability journalism looks like.
Not softball questions. Not access journalism. Not protecting your White House credential.
Going for the jugular on behalf of dead children.
Remember that name: @ShawnMcCreesh.
That’s how it’s done.
When you’re on Team Trump and you just walked past a full length mirror, then pause and take a step back and the truth is staring you right in the face.
Thanks to the late great George Carlin a man ahead of his time.

I especially like options 4 & 5

For the benefit of our American friends, "roundly" comes from Middle English (roundly, roundely, or roundliche), formed by adding the adverb suffix -ly to the adjective round. It has been in use as an adverb since at least the 15th century.
In modern English (especially from the 19th century onward), "roundly" became a common intensifier in phrases like 'roundly condemned', 'roundly defeated' or 'roundly disliked' - the latter conveying that the negative opinion is unanimous, emphatic, or shared by almost everyone - not just mild or partial dislike.
Thus, the polite, quintessentially English phrase 'roundly disliked' is a classic example of British understatement - essentially a euphamism for 'fucking hate the cunt'.
Sad news. I had the great pleasure of interviewing Jim Lovell - he told me that of all the Apollo flights he could have chosen - Apollo 8 was the one because it was the first navigation of the ocean between Earth and Moon. He was in lunar orbit on my first Christmas Eve. RIP.
Not an apology
Not a retraction
And it was posted on @NYTimesPR, which has 88k followers, instead of @nytimes, which has 55 million
So a massive lie spread across the world, and now less than 1% of the people who saw it will ever see this pathetic little footnote
"Why was the flight delayed for an hour?"
"The pilot saw a problem with one of the engines, but it's okay now."
"Wow, you've replaced an engine in an hour?"
"No, we've replaced the pilot"
(An old Soviet joke... Congrats, America)
