You have to dig a few grafs into this WSJ house editorial about the elections in Pennsylvania, but the most important words are here:

"Mr. Biden appears to have won Pennsylvania and the White House"

And this is part of a long thread from via a National Review columnist

Republican senator from Pennsylvania: “It looks likely Joe Biden is going to be the next president of the United States. It's not 100% certain but it is quite likely”

Every editor in America is saying, "Damn, I wish they'd let me write notes like that"

I would subscribe to a Substack that consists solely of editors' and reporters' nasty notes to each other.

Greenwald has posted the email exchange with the Intercept, and his editor's comments are reasonable, and completely within the bounds of normal newsroom practice.

Whatever it is, it isn't censorship.

Ossoff to Perdue:

“First, you were lengthening my nose in attack ads to remind everyone I was Jewish”

“This is so beneath the office of a US senator. You’ve continued to demean yourself ... You shouldn’t do everything your handlers in Washington tell you to, because you’ll lose your soul along the way, Senator”

Here's the ad that Ossoff was referring to...

After NYT published the "Anonymous" op-ed, the edit page explained when they've done this before.

The other examples - a Salvadoran asylum seeker, a Syrian refugee, a man fearing ISIS retribution -- are of an entirely different caliber than @MilesTaylorUSA

Anyway, I have several things I'd like to say anonymously to 3.9 million NYT subscribers.

The firewall that protected the Voice of America from political interference is gone, swept away by the new agency chief who has made clear he'll use the agency to push the Trump administration's views and objectives.

@abennett

Here's the view from @abennett, former VOA director:

This action "removes the one thing that makes Voice of America distinct from broadcasters of repressive regimes."

And the excuses given by the new CEO of the agency, Michael Pack, are just not grounded in experience.

Has the VOA been regularly publishing stories that "endanger US soldiers"? Of course not

Did a white person write this editorial?

“Donald Trump is a bully and a bigot.... He panders to racists. He tweets conspiracy theories. He’s cavalier about COVID-19 and has led poorly through the pandemic...
