this is some craven bullshit from @AP

completely indefensible to fire a reporter **based in AZ bureau** bc right-wing trolls don’t like her pro-Palestine college tweets

p.s. she’s Jewish
way a complete disgrace; Image
yes @SallyBuzbee needs to explain this before she leaves AP to become WashPost editor

my latest — The doom-and-gloom hot takes are everywhere;pressrun.media/p/crisis-chaos…
"Journalists overreach while trying to construct the new narrative. In an effort to paint a dire picture of mounting “crises,” several pointed to the *already-fixed* Colonial Pipeline shutdown from last week as proof Biden is staring into the abyss and facing “new” calamities"
“With border crossings now falling, the political press has lost interest in the former Biden “crisis.” Apparently, the pandemic and the migrant surge weren’t real crises because the administration helped deal with them efficiently.”

when covering the workforce and labor shortage, it would help if the media talked to workers; pressrun.media/p/stop-shaming…
stop reporting business news through eyes of Chamber of Commerce
“The vast majority of the news coverage simply accepts as fact that government benefits might be keeping people from returning back to work. Even though that same coverage rarely includes a single piece of empirical evidence to back up the claim.”

my latest— the media team up w/ GOP; pressrun.media/p/stop-shaming…
media keep repeating GOP claims about benefits keeping workers home, while media can't find a single piece of empirical evidence to back up claim abt 'lazy' workers
“That GOP narrative misses an important story unfolding as America emerges from the pandemic: Long-held assumptions about how we live are being scrambled.”

this is such an embarrassment for @MarthaRaddatz
same host/show that flew its entire program to the border to hype Biden “crisis” in March

not one word since border detentions have plummeted
now she gives unquestioning national platform to GOP voter who says question of who won 2020 election is like “who shot JFK”—we’ll never know

what happened to the border “crisis”? I guess media packets up their bags
more here; pressrun.media/p/the-washingt…
“One month after falsely blaming the Biden administration for creating a crisis at the southern border, the Washington Post remains oddly reserved regarding good news about the plummeting number of migrant youths now held in U.S. detention centers.”
