1. Hi! My weekly promotional note that I've launched a new media newsletter, Press Run. It's where all my writing/essays now appear exclusively. the newsletter is emailed out 3x a week. Subscribing is free and easy, here: pressrun.substack.com
2. I'm happy to say the response over first two weeks has been way beyond anything I expected in terms of subscribers, and this community is just getting off the ground. It will be where we'll find fault, sing some praise, and search for solutions.
3. There seems to be a hunger for an honest, liberal discussion about the political press, especially during this campaign year. so if you've followed/enjoyed my media work over the years at @salon, @mmmfa, or @dailykos, or on TV/radio, pls come take a look at Press Run. Cheers.

1. thread on GOP working the refs, and the extraordinary damage it does to our democracy when the media get cowed into submission; pressrun.substack.com/p/bullied-why-…
2. Twitter hard at work tying itself in knots, trying to come up with ways to highlight misinformation posted by public figures rather than, y'know, just banning public figures (Trump) who post misinformation.

Twitter literally constructing separate rules for Trump
3. Meanwhile, Facebook continues to relentlessly cave into GOP scare tactics about "liberal media bias," and gives Trump a green light to run a river of digital lies during his re-election campaign.

it's almost hard to describe how hard the DC press crucified Obama during the Ebola scare.

Trump gets a complete pass

whoever the Dem nominee is, the real media danger will be when the DC press starts mainstreaming GOP smear campaigns; @amjoyshow
@amjoyshow also, i noted how bc press has refused to acknowledge 2016 failures, we're seeing repeats in 2020

1 What we see now are the remnants of Trump. A jumble of fractured thoughts in an unraveling vessel. These thoughts, the essence that made up a toxic mix of narcissism, depravity & criminality are fading away. Ppl will say"I saw Trump- there's nothing left of him." Let's rewind:
2 "Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name." Who knew? Trump was just a TV clown to most people. How did a money laundering con-man get to the WH? Picture him- "I'm more than a money launderer, I can be SOMEBODY. I can be an American Oligarch, just like the Russian bigwigs"
3 Trump fell hard for Putin, because Putin could shut off his money laundering faucet. Trump was like a low level Associate- "A friend of ours" (I'm mixing Mob lingo here)-not even soldier or capo level in the org. Better yet, he'd show them all he could run dirty for President.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Me fact-checking the New Yorker article: true
Time to thread! Some people have asked me for my opinion (incredible)
on this “KT boundary impact site” so I’m going to indulge, but let me say there are a few existing threads that explain it all which I will now link to.
