This may be true for opinion—but *not* for news. What it does is create classes of conservative writers who understand the world through the Left’s news narratives and end up see conservative News media as a grotesque, non-credible enemy.
By the by, I’m not even sure this is or should be true for opinion, either. The Left seems to be doing pretty darn well without reading any Right media.

I swear, everybody with a large platform on the Right seems to think this is a debating society rather than a political war.
I know I’m a broken record on this, but we have no hope of winning when the fighters among us are constantly being yelled at by our credentialed class to STOP FIGHTING, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS.

@BofA_Help AI Helper is terrible.
.@BofA_Help seriously, guys—customer service where you’ve gotta wait 30 mins before you speak to a person is awful.
.@BofA_Help it’s probably another example of overzealous fraud protections due to travel, but there’s no reason at all for my card to be declined. Hello....? Will it be 40 mins until I speak to a human?

MATTIS WAS A DEMOCRAT
“Senior political editor for NBC News” doesn’t know a damn thing about his supposed profession. Twitter is wonderful for exposing this silliness.
Everyone tied in to the Trump admin foreign policy scene knows that Mattis had a propensity to hire Democrats and CNAS people. What is this NBC guy talking about?

Going through Weekly Standard archives agitating for the Libya war with @JordanSchachtel.

It was crazy—there must’ve been 100 posts pushing fanatically for that disastrous intervention.

None cautioned against it, warned of possible consequences, or did anything but cheerlead.
We gotta do Egypt and the Arab Spring next. That’ll be a doozy and a half.
Reading through the archives... it’s pretty amazing to think that—in the midst of Islamist ascendancy all over the Middle East in 2011—the dangers of toppling Qaddafi and releasing this noxious movement in Libya was not even mentioned!

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

1 like = one bit of publishing advice you're not going to like
1. Monetary success and quality of writing can be plotted on a type of Laffer curve: the writers who make almost no money are either awful or excellent. The B- middle, which satisfices without thrilling large audiences, is where the $$ is at.
2. You're likely not going to be published because a publisher thinks they can make a lot of money with your book, but because stores with lots of books sell more copies of the certain few books that sell. Your book will likely be "wallpaper" in a bookstore.

Some stats on the coverage of #LabourAntisemitism in UK national newspapers:

• In seven years from 2009-2015, there were just 212 articles with the words #Labour and #Antisemitism appearing in the same sentence
• In the three years since there have been 2,053

1/7
• In those same three years, there have been a total of 3,740 articles containing the word #Antisemitism
• So 55% of all articles mentioning #Antisemitism have mentioned #LabourParty in the same sentence (since 2016)
• 2009-2015 it was less than 7%

2/7
On the flip side:

• 2009-2015 there were just 41 articles with the words #Conservative and #Islamophobia appearing in the same sentence
• In the three years since this has risen, but only to 92

1/ Someone I know just posted this little video on FB from someone a member of “Patriotic Millionaires”.

I watched the video, and scoffed.
2/ It was full of that double speak I’ve learned to suspect thanks to Thomas Sowell.
3/ It launches with a member, showing his total income from 2016 being north of $1MM.

THREAD: there is no one way to be a writer, no one way to tell a story, no one way to do this thing we do as a hobby or as a job or as an art form. Some write a little every day, in an office; some write a lot at one time at varying, sporadic points. It's all okay.
I think it's important to challenge all pieces of "Known Writing Advice," all those chestnuts of Vital Lore, and to see what they are and what works for you. We all have our own weird fingerprints to imprint upon this thing we do.
I think it IS important to talk about the things you do and the processes you use to write and tell a story and to hold them up and examine them -- share them with others, and listen to their ways of doing things, too.
