A young girl should be outcast from society for the rest of her life over a video she made at 15 but 60-year-old Jeffrey Toobin should be given a break for pulling his junk out on a work call. Tell me more about media holding the powerful accountable.
The "how dare you cheer CNN+ closing" crowd is the same crowd that cheers the doxxing of political enemies and tried to get a pilot fired for allegedly saying "Let's go Brandon".
As Chris Cuomo survives yet another scandal remember CNN employees ( including John Harwood ) tried to get a Southwest pilot fired recently for allegedly saying "Let's Go Brandon".
Tweeting a journalist's full name is harassment, but a journalist posting a picture of a guy walking into his house because of a donation he made is vital to the republic.
We saw more outrage and theatrics from the media over an intern trying to take Jim Acosta’s microphone than we’ve seen over abandoning 10K Americans in Afghanistan.
Since race is such a hot topic right now does anyone else remember that Senator that was found to be a member of multiple all-white clubs? What happened to that story?
Those little backwater towns were supposed to endure all the hardships while these assholes patted themselves on the backs hundreds of miles away. They are right about one thing: it's a national problem. One they're directly responsible for.
👀Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson begs Biden for help with migrant crisis:
"We have reached a critical point in this mission that absent real, significant intervention immediately, our local economies are not designed and built to respond to this type of crisis."
Funny how we pivot from "this private company can do whatever it wants" to "this private company needs oversight" the second the left's allies are no longer in control.
If Musk is really taking this site private, there are no real guardrails anymore. Rulemaking can be capricious.
He can elevate any idea or person he wants through recommendations and UX choices and there will be no oversight on this as a private company.
Media outlets couldn't wait to air these coronavirus briefings when they thought it was their chance to nail Trump. The approval polls started coming in and suddenly they don't want to air them anymore.
Today I learned it's okay for major newspapers to publish propaganda from the taliban and China but don't you dare insult Jill Biden in your opinion section.
I'm sorry, but the "there is no place for political violence" statements ring hollow when elected officials have been making excuses for political violence for months because they're afraid condemning it will cost them some votes in Michigan.
They're trying to ban a guy who agrees with them 90% of the time because he has people on his show who disagree with him and lets them say more than 10 words.
Stuck in his safe space:
@GovRonDeSantis
has been invited for interviews on CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and NBC News. The top 3 newspapers in Florida have also asked for interviews. But he hasn't accepted them. He has, however, done 8 recent interviews with Fox News.
It's okay for Elizabeth Warren to lie about her heritage for decades to further her career, but WaPo isn't quite sure Tim Scott is as black as he claims to be.

I'm in the camp that thinks Cruz messed up here, but holy hell it's amazing what this group of wannabe Woodwards can find when they're actually motivated to research a story.
NYT has texts messages Heidi Cruz sent to friends and Houston neighbors.
Their house was "FREEZING" — and she proposed a Sunday return. Cruz invited others to join them at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún ($309 per night), where they had stayed "many times."
The idiots saying the my pillow guy mentioning God at a briefing is unconstitutional are the same people who think the government should be able to force nuns to buy birth control.
If my feed is any indication a supermarket in Florida where customers aren't wearing masks is a bigger scandal than the Governor of New York lying about nursing home deaths.
I have to say it's pretty damn selfish of people who have been out of work and closed off from society for a year to want to open things back up without considering the feelings of journalists who have worked from home and haven't missed a paycheck.
“Exclusive photos from inside a U.S. Customs and Border Protection temporary overflow facility in Donna, Texas, reveal the crowded, makeshift conditions at the border as the government's longer-term child shelters and family detention centers fill up.”
"Marco Rubio pretty much refuses to talk to me. In fact, that's part of the reason I'm wearing this price tag right now ... that's the amount of money Marco Rubio has taken from the NRA divided by every student in our state."

It's a shame we don't have video of Brian Sims doing something truly heinous like smirking while wearing a MAGA hat. Maybe then the media would take notice.
I deleted a tweet from yesterday that linked out to a Reuters story citing a UN report saying the US has more than 100K kids in immigration-related custody.
Reuters has withdrawn that story and said those numbers were from 2015.
Journalists who are currently trying to jedi-mind-trick a recession away to protect the Biden administration are very concerned about politicians not being held accountable by the press.
Hey, remember when Elliott Page blamed Mike Pence for the "attack" on Jussie Smollet that didnt even happen? Do those same rules apply to a transgender person killing 6 people at a Christian school? Just curious.
I see the people who supported running Republicans out of restaurants and theaters are fainting now that people have the audacity to yell at them. We tried to warn you, but you were too busy making snarky remarks about "civility".
Wish certain officials in Broward County were even half as concerned about their horrific screw-ups and incompetence as they seem to be about hiding it from the public.
Setting a vote on Kavanaugh less than 24 hours after yesterday's testimony shows what a sham this process has been. I just refused to vote and walked out.
If you "grew up in the projects," then you're not "self-made."
The "projects" are taxpayer-funded public housing. Your friends, neighbors, family members and millions of Americans you never met all worked and paid their taxes so that you wouldn't have to grow up homeless.
Speaker Pelosi: "We support peaceful demonstrations. We participate in them. They are part of the essence of our democracy. That does not include looting, starting fires, or rioting. They should be prosecuted. That is lawlessness."
Sen. Sanders: "We have a racist society from top to bottom impacting health care, housing, criminal justice, education -- you name it. And clearly this is an issue that must be dealt with."

guest-hosting Playbook. You know, if you want to hear Shapiro's opinions, there's a place to go for that.
Apparently Jon Stewart is looking for writers, so here goes.

I've said before nothing has damaged the reputation of Ivy League schools like Ivy League students/faculty/ staff on social media. I hope this kid never stops tweeting.
