@ChrisCillizza I’m...not confident that this is exclusively (or even primarily) a Fox News phenomenon.
Perhaps another network who does something similar may come to mind.
All of these from @brianstelter are from *the last 36 hours* and comprise about half of his mentions of Fox News in that time.
All of these from @oliverdarcy are from the start of this month on. We’re only twelve days in.
@JohnJHarwood doesn’t even cover the media! These are all from the last ten days!
And forget just the networks. @brianstelter has tweeted about Tucker Carlson *six times* in just the last three days. Here are some.
I'm sorry @neontaster I can't continue, I just don't have the heart

If Republicans talked about any issue - particularly a constitutional right - with the blatant, mind-melting ignorance that Dems talk about gun laws, it would be a 24/7 newscycle forever.
There is no single issue in American politics where one side is as fundamentally misinformed/uninformed as the left is on gun laws. And I don’t think it’s even close. Space aliens could come up with more effective policy.
Dems talk about guns the way that humans talked about flight in the 1800s or how I would imagine an uncontacted tribe would explain electricity. It’s mind blowing.

The lesson that GOP pols should (but won’t) learn from Tucker’s recent beat-downs is that the pretty words and sentiments that’ll pacify corporate donors and beltway bigwigs just don’t cut it anymore.
Do I think people’s careers will end because of these? No, probably not. But media opportunities are meant as a good and safe option for someone in the hot seat. You try to find a comfy opp. Tucker has made clear that he’ll never be that thing, and we all owe him for that.
This is how you get a better GOP. You stress test the latest ideas and discard those that aren’t good. So many ideas have kicked around for a long time because they were a sacred cow for lobbyists/donors that the base wants to see die.

“Limited government” was definitely a really good idea that became functionally obsolete long before anyone alive today was born.
This is one of my chief beefs with libertarianism. It’s all well and good when it’s a bunch of isolated cabins and nearly unlimited land and self-sufficient people like when JS Mill was writing.

Nowadays, well, not so much.
“I want a government so small I can drown it in a bathtub!” made sense maybe before the New Deal, the modern social safety net, the internet, and Twitter.

Nearly all* of the coverage of the GA voting bill seems to be from reporters who haven’t read the bill interviewing partisan activists who are disinterested in what the bill says but very much want you to believe that it’s awful.
* the main exception to this is a phenomenal breakdown by @grace_panetta that you should read and share (especially with your liberal friends) google.com/amp/s/www.busi…
I feel bad for people who are just trying to understand the bill. If you Google it, all that comes up is nonsense about voter suppression. There’s so much garbage obfuscating the truth.

New front on the culture war opened up apparently.
There’s like 8 pieces I’ve been meaning to write forever but one of them is about how intersectionality is, necessarily, a race to the bottom.
This seems to make that point pretty clearly: how can we focus emphatically on a particular group of people without disadvantaging another?

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since Texas lifted it’s mask mandate. Coronavirus cases have been steadily declining since, w/ yesterday the 18th day in a row of decreases.

But you may remember the left & the media promised the reverse would happen. And I’ve got receipts.⤵️
The only place to start this thread is with @JoeBiden, whom you may remember referred to Texas’s opening up as “Neanderthal thinking.”

Perhaps the White House would like to follow up about why?
Other governors also took shots. Here’s @GavinNewsom, whose decision to keep his state shut down cost the state 52,000 jobs.
