4 weeks since HOAX came out — and today I discovered it in the front window at Barnes & Noble Union Square — best surprise of the month. Right behind RAGE, appropriately! ImageImage
A book tour is like... well, I was going to say it's like a roller coaster 🎢 , but when the experience is entirely virtual from your home studio, that doesn't make much sense. But I'll tell you the best part...
The best part: Digesting the reviews and emails and comments from 📚 readers. Even the supremely critical ones. I learned things *about Fox and Trump* by reading the reviews. Gained ideas for future stories too.
So keep the feedback coming! BTW I keep accidentally misspelling Sean Hannity's name cuz a Goodreads reviewer called him "Sean Hattity." Hey, if the hat fits...

And if you're reading this thread and wondering "what's HOAX?" then check out my web site about the book... HoaxTheBook.com... and it will all make sense ✅

There are so many insights in this story... so I'm going to thread them:
"For shareholders like McLain, investing in Truth Social is less a business calculation than a statement of faith in the former president and the business traded under his initials, DJT." So far the plunging stock price "doesn’t seem to have shaken that faith." For example...
Jerry Dean McLain, who has put pretty much his “whole nest egg” into Truth Social, and has lost thousands of dollars already, says “I know good and well it’s in Trump’s hands, and he’s got plans. I have no doubt it’s going to explode sometime.”

When I began writing about TV news 20 years ago, NBC's news division cared about two rivals: ABC and CBS.

Info was still scarce and the internet was still slow.

But then came broadband and Facebook and YouTube and iPhones and chatbots. Where does NBC fit now?
That's what I wanted to explore: The present-day NBC... and the creation of the NBCUniversal News Group... led by Cesar Conde, who has been on a rocket ship-like trajectory — from Univision president to chair of Telemundo to head of all of NBC’s news assets. Image
Conde spoke with me for this profile in the forthcoming issue of @FastCompany.

After the interviews, the Ronna McDaniel mess happened, so I had to do some serious rewriting. But here are the broader takeaways... fastcompany.com/91077007/cesar…

LOTS of misinfo flying around this site today about International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is not a White House thing and not an Easter thing. Maybe this thread can clear it up >>>
As Reuters notes here, "International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) takes place annually on March 31 to celebrate transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. It was not designed intentionally to fall on Easter Sunday" as some are claiming. reuters.com/fact-check/tra…
The annual celebration started 15 years ago. The organizer "chose the springtime date because she wanted some distance from Transgender Day of Remembrance as well as Pride Month, which is in June." NPR interviewed her here npr.org/2024/03/30/124…

>> @Maddow: Ronna McDaniel was part of a project to reject U.S. elections. "It didn't work to overthrow the government the last time, but as long as you can build on that first effort... you are priming the American public to not accept the results of the NEXT election, either."
"I want to associate myself with all my colleagues both at MSNBC and at NBC News who have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll someone who hasn't just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government. Someone who still is trying to convince Americans that this election stuff, it doesn't really work. That this last election, it wasn't a real result. That American elections are fraudulent." –@Maddow
Maddow continued: "Difficult times make for difficult decisions. We are contending with something we have never had to contend with before. In the news business, yes, we are covering an election, which we do all the time. But we're also covering bad actors trying to use the rights and privileges of the democracy to END democracy. The chief threat among them now is not the rioters and kooks, but the slick political professionals who are turning their considerable talents to laundering violently revolutionary claims that America's elections aren't real; that election results aren't real; and that they shouldn't be respected..."

"This will be a NEWS interview," @kwelkernbc says before her Ronna McDaniel sit-down – McDaniel's first since stepping down as RNC chair.

"In full disclosure... this interview was scheduled weeks before it was announced that McDaniel had become a paid NBC News contributor."
Q: "Is it appropriate for Donald Trump to ask donors to pay for his legal bills?"

A: "As long as the donors know that that's what they're doing."
"One RNC member told Politico you were a 'failed chair.' Another said 'we lost the House, the Senate AND the White House while she was chair.' Did you deserve to stay on with that track record, Ronna?" --@kwelkernbc

Most people don't really know anything about IVF. This morning, on a trip for our tenth wedding anniversary, while @JamieStelter is sleeping in (a rarity!), I'm rereading an essay she wrote when Sunny was almost 2 and Story was on the way. Some quotes: Image
"First comes the tourniquet and needle. I've been squeezed, poked, and prodded so many times that I barely notice this part..." glamour.com/story/after-fi…
(Jamie wrote this essay as a follow-up to an Instagram post about the stuff people usually don't share on social media.)
