This is exactly what I am talking about. A NYT reporter pretending kids being exploited to repeat nonsense propaganda are just “constituents”.

I’m sure Maggie would totally defend someone having their young kids berate Senators w/ talking points about illegal immigrants.
Again, it’s a form of child abuse. And it’s telling who is willing to defend it simply because they like the message these children are being exploited for. Especially when those same people then expect anyone to trust them to give non-partisan reporting and analysis.
Seriously, what do you imagine the reaction would be if these little kids were exploited to yell at a Senator to support Trump’s border wall to protect them from illegals trying to kill them?

You really think Maggie and company would be focusing on the Senator’s response?

1) Not what I wrote 2) Getting very tired of this intentionally dishonest (or ignorant) take.

No one (inc Rubio) has called for even one American soldier going to Venezuela. There are lots of forms of intervention that have nothing to do w the military.
The path to freeing Venezuela has nothing to do with US military intervention. The people are overwhelmingly supporting rightful leader. Military are defecting daily because they are also starving and don’t want to shoot other starving Venezuelans.

It’s just a matter of time.
Maduro is holding on to power due to support of some top military brass and help from Cuba/Russia. The second those military leaders abandon him, it’s over.

What Rubio and others have been trying to do is apply pressure on them to do exactly that, and it’s working.

Here is a good example of why Twitter sucks:

Rubio has been working for months+ to try to help bring freedom to a country being decimated by a brutal socialist dictator starving/killing his own people. He has almost single-handedly helped shift U.S. policy on Venezuela. 1/
Almost every Venezuelan I've talked to is grateful. They wish for freedom for their people, and see him as doing everything he can to help them achieve it (though they are leading the effort themselves).

He's tweeting almost hourly updates on what is happening.
Now a bunch of people who have completely ignored the plight of the Venezuelan people and Rubio's commendable efforts instead chose today to take a very uncharitable reading of one of his tweets and attack him for it, while they continue to ignore things that matter.

The anti-anti-Maduro caucus is working really hard to justify their stance.
Trump is bad is not a good excuse for playing interference for a brutal dictator ordering the murder of his own people and trying to deny them critical aid.
The whole stance is dependent on ignorant that Juan Guaidó is the rightful President, not some guy we are trying to force into power. Further, the threat of U.S. protection is needed to pressure military leaders to not follow order to kill innocents and to abandon Maduro.

After sleeping on this, I’ve unearthed a couple of salient points.this Op-Ed-as I said-is actually a more brilliant piece of writing than anyone has noticed. It’s incredibly hard to write with this much precision on a topic about which you ultimately divulge no information.
This is also a verifiable masterpiece of spinning language, worthy of its own Pulitzer Prize. You’ve noticed how the Democrats echo each other. Here’s “kids in cages” to refresh your memory but there are a thousand loops of this-all the same. They have 0 creativity changing words
That’s what makes this @nytopinion so astounding. It repeats every BS narrative of the last two years without using any of the same language. To tell you hard that is: imagine making a Land Rover without using any of the original parts, but making it even better.

As a person who has lost a parent, I can have empathy for Senator McCain and his family, and the painful transition they are now in, while also resisting this preemptive drive to mythologize him & sweep his role in how we got here under the carpet because now it feels mean.
I'm just really, really, really struggling with the public narrative around McCain right now. Losing a family member is so sad. Cancer is so shitty. All of it sucks. I don't wish any of this on any family, no matter how I feel about them politically. Empathy matters.

HOWEVER.
McCain's greatest political maneuver, especially in past years, is taking just enough calculated "hero" stances to continually keep his image as the maverick truth-teller burnished, even when that's not true or when it's completely performative. I'm worried about his deification.

Maggie Haberman:

Where are people getting the impression she is an access journalist and Trump shill?

Baffling?

Let's take a closer look.
The year is 2011. In February, Maggie Haberman pens an article in Politico "The Donald reins in Roger Stone", quoting from an interview with Donald himself who phoned Maggie. The article was ostensibly floating a Presidential bid.

politico.com/story/2011/02/…
The article contains this statement: "It's impossible to independently assess Trump's (net) worth". Seems fair.

1) Here is an op-ed attacking free speech, but it has some good content and I think we should talk about it. bigleaguepolitics.com/media-matters-…
2) The op ed is embedded in an analysis by @bigleaguepol but if you want to see just the video go here:
3) The title of this video op-ed is: “How The Far-Right Is Dividing Americans With Social Media.”

It is published by “Now This” and features Melissa Ryan, “Editor, Ctrl-Alt-Delete” and a “Visiting Fellow, Media Matters.”

1. As a former leftist, I understand the altruistic sentiment associated with the illegal immigration issue. I have great sympathy for people seeking refuge from war, political persecution, and poverty. For many in the late 1970s this was a path to freedom from communism in SEA.
2. At the close of the Vietnam and Kampuchean disasters, the world saw a massive influx of “boat people” most of whom ended their arduous journey in Australia. Considering our involvement in the Vietnam war and the evils of communism we, as Aussies, were happy to give them a go.
3. So successful was this intake of people, the Vietnamese community in Australia has become very well integrated into the wider community. Statistics show a relatively small number were boat people.abc.net.au/news/specials/…
