Congratulations to the Daily Beast for totally EXPOSING this day laborer from the Bronx who had the audacity to allegedly post a joke video about Nancy Pelosi on Facebook. Maybe you'll ruin his life! This is TRUE JOURNALISM in the public interest
"I was really hoping the sinister mastermind behind a phony internet video was Russian, but it turned out to be some random, precariously employed American guy who does hard manual labor. Sadly, not a Russian. But I decided to EXPOSE the guy anyway"
Reminds me of the time CNN sent a camera crew down to Florida to harangue a random woman for being a member of a Facebook group. BOMBSHELL, BLOCKBUSTER journalism

I'd rather derive income from crowdfunding than censorious tech giants or unethical corporations. The old models are falling apart in real-time. New model: people pay directly for stuff if they find value in it. Seems reasonable:

I don't explicitly solicit funds often because I know it can come across as obnoxious. But today illustrates why independent sources of revenue are so crucial. Otherwise, journalists / analysts get subsumed into the corporate outrage blob. And you wonder why media is so horrible?

Adult journalists whining to YouTube and throwing a fit because the platform won't remove material that the journalists have subjectively deemed "harassing" is so infantile and feeble-minded, it's ridiculous
I find Steven Crowder obnoxious, unfunny, and politically appalling, but that doesn't mean I would therefore demand that his videos be removed from YouTube just because they offend my sensibilities. The principle of a free, open internet overrides my personal sensibilities
For the millionth time. Appealing to tech authorities to be arbiters of speech imbues them with massive power that they do not deserve to wield. Journalists' newfound embrace of this moralizing censoriousness is gross, and contrary to the fundamental tenets of the profession

A lot fewer people dislike Biden than Hillary and that's a major electoral asset for him. Another reason why lazy equivalences of the two are so misguided, just from an analytical standpoint
Hillary favorable/unfavorable:

5/31/15 46-50%

Biden favorable/unfavorable:

5/31/19 46-38%

Both near-universally known at the time. So there's not going to be a ton of malleability in their favorability ratings. Maybe a bit around the margins, but it's mostly baked in.
CNN poll showed Hillary at 52% unfavorable by Oct. 2016, the final poll of the campaign. Not a statistically significant movement over the span of nearly 1.5 years. Biden's unfavorability "floor" appears to be much lower. Which suggests he'd be a stronger candidate than Hillary

Nancy Pelosi is introducing her TAX THE INTERNET ACT tomorrow, the same day she's taking her anti-First Amendment F the People Act to the House floor.
Nancy Pelosi's TAX THE INTERNET ACT would reclassify broadband Internet access as a Title II service subject to federal universal service fund taxes (presently 20%) as well as state and local taxes under the *marketing slogan* of net neutrality.
Democrats have consistently rejected every net neutrality bill offered by Republicans to ban blocking, throttling, etc because the Republican bills do not gut the Internet tax ban.

Reza Zarrab watchers: We're less than an hour away from Day 2 of testimony. On Weds., we heard of a "45 to 50 million" bribe to Turkey's economic minister and "a few billion" in complex bank transactions. Day 1 recap here, & some thoughts/updates to follow courthousenews.com/turkish-gold-t…
* ex-economic minister - I ran out of room in the tweet for additional context, even with 280 characters. Lots of revelations.
This appeared on the docket yesterday: Halkbank manager Mehmet Atilla's attorneys "object vigorously" to a future expert witness's testimony on the rationale of U.S. sanctions against Iran - replete with references to terrorism documentcloud.org/documents/4315…
