Estou muito animado por ter um lar jornalístico fixo para as reportagens que faço no Brasil. @Cartacapital foi uma das primeiras revistas políticas que li quando comecei a morar no Brasil em 2005. Mal posso esperar para trabalhar com sua grande redação.

Era sempre honesto quanto ao seu ponto de vista, mas tb sempre com um jornalismo complexo e sério. Vou ter total liberdade editorial para fazer meu jornalismo. E vou estar com meu excelente colega @VPougy, vital para #VazaJato. Muito animado!

I'm super excited that I will now have a fixed journalistic home for my journalism in Brazil: working with my colleague @vpougy, who was central to the Brazil exposés we did, I'm now a regular journalist and columnist with @Cartacapital.

The journal @CartaCapital was one of the first I read when I moved to Brazil in 2005. It proves you can be honest about your politics -- it's openly leftist -- and still do reliable and complex reporting. I'll have full editorial freedom & will work with its great newsroom.
Muito honrado em ser recebido tão bem na @CartaCapital, e por ninguém menos do que seu fundador Mino Carta, jornalista tão importante na imprensa brasileira. Animado a começar!
I'm very honored by this video of the iconic founder of @CartaCapital talking about our new journalistic partnership, with me also explaining why I find it so exciting [with English subtitles]:

Journalists, Illustrating How They Operate, Yesterday Spread a Significant Lie All Over Twitter

greenwald.substack.com/p/journalists-…
Eager to obtain vindication for the pre-election fraud they spread about the Hunter Biden story, journalists falsely claimed that CIA blamed Russia for it. This was a total fabrication that they spread to hundreds of thousands if not millions, with little attempt to rectify it.
Even if this report had asserted the Hunter Biden laptop materials were manufactured by the Kremlin, that would prove nothing. Evidence-free assertions from the U.S. intelligence community merit skepticism, not blind faith — especially from people calling themselves journalists.

Has anyone provided an iota of evidence that what is driving this horrific surge of anti-Asian violence is "white supremacist domestic terror"?

That would require data showing who is primarily perpetrating the violence and with what motive. Where is that?
Please look at how stupid and lowly so many liberals are now. If you ask for evidence to support sweeping but dubious claims about the cause of anti-Asian violence, they won't answer (their brains don't allow that). Instead, they'll call you racist: it's all they know how to do: ImageImageImage
Here's a white historian who has a life where race plays no role other than to exploit it as a fun online toy to casually slander people as racists for refusing to endorse claims without evidence. Contempt is required for them and their tactics:

This tweet is absolutely false. The report does not even mention the Hunter Biden laptop or the documents reported on, let alone allege that it came from Russia, let alone provide proof of this. This tweet is disinformation.
The MSNBC host who first spread this tweet subsequently acknowledged that, upon reading the report, he sees that the tweet's claim is untrue because there is no mention of what it alleges:

And, just to review the basic rule of journalism (and basic rationality) once more: even if the US security state had alleged the laptop came from Russia, minimally sane and sober people will not assume that's true absent *evidence." That's what journalistic skepticism means.

With their ratings in free fall, they desperately need "the new Trump." They tried to make it Marjorie Taylor Green but nobody cared about a first-term backbencher, so they're now auditioning Tucker for the role. A bit bizarre for cable hosts to elevate another TV host this way:
One earnest question I have:

Why is it OK to devote hours of TV time to maligning and stoking hatred against a cable host (and I do think it's fine), but it's not OK -- it's abusive and violent -- to voice criticisms of a front-page NYT reporter.

What's the principle here?
Tucker Carlson actually had protesters outside his home when his wife and kids were inside. Using the logic now marshalled to place off-limits criticisms of NYT reporters, couldn't he allege that CNN's attacks on him incite harassment and violence?

How Do Big Media Outlets So Often "Independently Confirm" Each Other's Falsehoods?

greenwald.substack.com/p/how-do-big-m…
The Washington Post's media-spread error about Trump's Georgia call shows the deceitful playbook first invented to undermine Trump and promote Russiagate.

As they rely upon partisan audiences, news outlets are incentivized to recklessly publish against political enemies.
The worst Trump-era media humiliation was when CNN breathlessly claimed Trump, Jr. got advanced access to the WikiLeaks archive -- all because their "sources" misread an email date.

How did MSNBC & CBS purport to "independently confirm" the same falsehood? It's a key tactic.

Very good analysis explaining the sudden outburst of media animosity toward Substack. In sum:

- Large sectors of digital media are failing.

- Substack writers are thriving.

This is why the former harbors intense resentment toward the latter and wants to delegitimize it.
In order to thrive on Substack, you need your own readership who believes you're offering something unique, informative and compelling that they can't get elsewhere - which is why they'll follow you and even subscribe.

That's exactly what so many resentful media people lack.
It's partially the fault of the climate of the liberal part of the media: allows no dissent or heterodoxy. So their journalist-employees, knowing jobs are sparse, constantly monitor what the liberal consensus is and cling to it for fear of being called names or being ostracized.
