This is a level so far above gaslighting it’s gotta be its own category. She’s literally saying this to a talking head who knew his network was putting people on the air they knew were telling lies. There is no longer a modicum of shame in politics

It’s not about winning or losing. It’s about showing up a teammate who had to have been in one of his lowest moments. Someone berates you publicly like that do they suffer losing more than you?

@stefondiggs
Not if you’re on the receiving end. Losing is hard. Winning is easy. Doing both with class and compassion is adult. He singled out a teammate for a team loss. You think Allen wanted to win that game any less than Diggs did? Allen didn’t react. There was one adult in that moment.

You’ve proven the reporter’s point. You were critical of Obama This was a very fair and accurate characterization of what you said. So thanks for taping it.

He’s not “just a fan.” He carries media credentials and here he was heckling opposing players. You can be a heckler. You can be a media member. You can’t be both at the same time. Average beat reporter gets fired for this the moment he/she steps off the court. Shameful.

@RachelAbramsNY
If they still draw a paycheck knowingly doing that, that is fraud, cowardice, deceit and a violation of not only journalistic principle, but of morality, decency and love of country. It’s beyond reprehensible.
@NateSilver538
Many, many, of the people who would vote for Trump don't care about this stuff. At all. This is what the heavily compensated and self-important analysts don't get. At all. If he comes through this, he's a bigger figure to them. If not, that's life. So many still don't get this

Not only is my home state of South Dakota a tax haven for some of the richest people on the planet, it openly invites absentee residents for the sole purpose of tax avoidance. You can spend ONE NIGHT in the state and get all the tax shelters (and, vote)
@stephengroves
This is what
@realDonaldTrump
never got, or was incapable of getting because he’s so self absorbed. Ultimately, the pandemic is a deeply personal story - a local story. More robust local journalism could have told this story more robustly.

She’s right. It’s literally AP style not to refer to non medical doctors as doctors; it’s been the style for journalists for decades
I saw the Pentagon on fire. I knew someone on the plane. A colleague driving to work witnessed the explosion and had her car showered with debris. The ignorance wrapped around hate from this woman is just beyond comprehension, and GOP silence on this mocks all the victims of 9/11

HE hasn't done any of this. Federal workers and those who are doing the actual work on the ground have done this. WE'VE done this - he's not king.
So this guy and his three perpetually drunk friends are getting attention for what purpose? We’ve got serious problems to deal with, America. He’s not worth mention.

This is false. Where’s the evidence? Are 90 courts, many of them populated by Trump appointees, in on it? There have been single digit prosecutions of voter fraud in swing states. More of Trump voters than Biden voters. You have no proof and saying you do doesn’t make it so.

You’re the White House Press secretary. Paid for by taxpayers. Leave the partisan political stuff where it belongs in the campaign. Taxpayers don’t pay you to attack other Americans.

This reference to a Navy Seal who lost an eye in an IED explosion is punkish, inhuman, ungrateful, disconnected, elitist- you choose the adjective. Big difference between satire and being a jerk and until stuff like this gets called out more regularly public discourse will suffer
Heart goes out to all the Gannett journalists being laid off in this season. The collapse of local journalism is nothing short of a national security issue, for it leaves ambitious politicians unfettered and unchecked, and whittles further the community that binds the republic.

@JenniferJJacobs
This is stunningly scary - journalists are killed, arrested in Russia. We are coming up on the anniversary of the murder of five journalists in Annapolis. What these "leaders" are really saying is that journalists are the biggest line of resistance to their dictatorial desires
I wonder my how many folks who see masks as a government impingement on their freedom were told stories by their grandparents of the rationing of gasoline and sugar and nylons and meat and tires during World War II? Was that all a government plot to impinge on freedom, too?
Can you imagine Jack Morris, in the 10th inning of the 7th game of the '91 World Series, walking to the mound to start the 10th and seeing a dude on second, after he'd thrown 9 shutout innings, pitching out of several jams? This is a stupid rule,

This take totally misses the point. They will never define what they want because the very chaos of this moment is what they crave. Your conclusion assumes they are interested in governing. They are only interested in throwing dirt in the gears of government.
