[nilay patel @reckless]

@jlgolson @Bu5yGiraffe @samsheffer I do not intend to hire idiots to cover a movement that directly led to the resurgence of measles no

@DannyCrichton Their data is so inaccurate it’s not even worth discussing. Like 10x wrong for us

[nilay patel @reckless]

1. It was also a surprise to our biz side and they’re looking at why it happened
2. I don’t make the ad deals and there’s a firewall between sales and the newsroom so I don’t even know what they’re doing
3. There are ads on our homepage and social feeds, on every article page and in our podcasts and videos. I don’t even really quite understand what the reaction here even is about, our editorial team didn’t make this ad or do a brand deal like every creator and influencer does every day. Help me understand why this feels so different?

@TedatPolicyband @verge @BrendanCarrFCC @freepress Brendan is welcome to defend himself on my show but you seem not only irrelevant but also incapable reading even the first paragraph of this story in your quest for attention

I love it when these dorks call us the mainstream media

[Alex Witkoff @Alex_Witkoff]

This is exactly why people are abandoning mainstream media: cheap insults instead of actual reporting

You don’t have to agree with @DavidSacks on everything, but pretending he “sucks” while ignoring his actual track record is unserious.

A few reminders:
-Co-founded PayPal, one of the most consequential fintech platforms in history.
-Built Yammer, sold to Microsoft for $1.2B
-Backed Airbnb, SpaceX, Facebook, Uber, OpenAI, and Palantir in their early days
-Hosts All-In, one of the most influential political podcasts
-Major philanthropist and consistent supporter of free speech and open debate

If the media wants to rebuild trust, maybe start by covering people honestly instead of writing headlines like YouTubers chasing clicks

@Ed_Randgad @marcelolima I also wrote this which kicks ass, don't forget https://t.co/lIaCYPplH6

@marcelolima Any company that truly worried about safety would have never called it full self driving in the first place brochacho

@mp3michael @DecoderPod I'm sorry, the GOP is banning all kinds of books all the time. Get your facts right

[The Verge @verge]

A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for school shootings and measles https://t.co/KRCk3Mcp5x
