@thehill The Hill does uncritical stenography, amplification of lies.

[lowkell @lowkell]

@JuliaManch Why didn't you mention that these are LIES? Is it the media's job to simply amplify false comments by Trump, or is it your job to inform readers that they are NOT TRUE???

[Giorgi Revishvili @revishvilig]

A group of investigative journalists, including @michaeldweiss, obtained another intercepted conversation between Hungary’s FM Péter Szijjártó and Lavrov.

It appears that Moscow may have been able to access virtually any information it sought from the EU/NATO via Budapest.

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

Bloomberg just dropped the Orbán tapes and it reads like a bad fanfic.

Hungary’s prime minister spent a phone call with Putin calling him a “lion,” casting himself as the helpful little “mouse,” offering Budapest as a venue to end the war on Russia’s terms, and closing with “I am at your service.”

[lowkell @lowkell]

@JuliaManch @thehill This is basically acting as Trump's press secretary - "he said this," "he said that," etc. The job of journalism should be to examine his claims and inform readers whether they are true, or in the case of Trump, almost certainly false.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

It’s just amazing to me that reporters still feel no shame about doing stenography for Trump when he calls them for one of those glorified voicemails in which they apparently never ask followup questions

The New York Times's David Sanger sanewashes Trump's impeachable insane Easter threat against Iran as "unusually vivid"

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

For five months, a father waited for his 3-year-old daughter’s release from federal custody after she was apprehended by ICE while crossing the border with her mother. He just learned that the toddler was placed in a foster home where she was sexually abused. https://t.co/TH3s8dqX5o

Stop editing for this guy.

@Alejandro27Ale Disappointing by @Timodc, who's generally excellent...but WOW is he wrong about this one!

Putin’s Christianity for Easter.

You want this guy at Dem campaign rallies?

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

The President of the United States is an emotionally unstable man with obvious cognitive issues. We are in the middle of a war, he tanked an important speech to the nation, and this is what he's worried about:

@lxeagle17 @ZacharyDonnini Clinton actually won the popular vote by 3 million, despite the Russians, the viciously anti-@HillaryClinton media, Comey etc

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

The tragic irony of the last few years is that, had the USG given Ukraine only a fraction of the weapons that they have expended against Iran in a few weeks (Patriots, Tomahawks, etc), Ukraine would have won, oil prices would not be skyrocketing and the US would be more secure.
