@drpatrick @latimes These demands for "balance" are nothing more than a partisan right-wing attempt to seize and hold power by conquering the nation's news outlets and controlling the narrative. They must be resisted.

@drpatrick @latimes Reality check folks: LA County voted for Harris over Trump by a 2-to-1 margin. The Times' home market is a deep blue region and it serves its customers best by leaning in to their values. Insisting that the editorial board be split 50-50 is ludicrous.

@susanbordson @KevinMaddenDC I tried to move coverage in that direction as a metro and national desk editor at the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Los Angeles Times in the 1990s and 2000s but was told that approach was “boring.” The “horse race” instinct is deeply embedded in politics journalism.

@TheBigLead @tylerreed93 Could it be that they haven’t played anybody good because they downsized to an easier conference that had just lost Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC? And they lost to the only ranked team they’ve played?

@CharlesPPierce Brothers were so much better.

@LailaLalami I interpreted it differently, as a criticism of Israel’s attacks on pro-Palestinian advocates everywhere, even US elected officials, whom they wrongly consider terrorists. But yeah, I can see how it could mean something else far uglier.

@dr_eeks @ZombiePanther2 No president can do that. Unless we live in a dictatorship where the govt controls prices, wages, everything. Is that what you want?

@WendellPierce Great idea! Paging the Marsalis family…

@DailGerry @mcuban @CollinRugg @KobeissiLetter Somebody seems to be confusing paper currency with the money supply and maybe could use a lesson in money, banking and monetary theory. Want to take a crack at it @mcuban ?
