lol as negotiator, Biden won't give away the game to GOP.

he's so mean! washingtonpost.com/politics/biden…
initial WH infrastructure deal was $2.2 trillion.

GOP has counter-offered with $900B

GOP can't believe Biden won't agree to deal!!
ftr, Biden doesn't need 1 GOP vote.

but yes, WashPost pls give up more reporting where you round up GOP quotes lamented how Biden won't sign off on GOP deal

embarrassing @AP performance on @ReliableSources right now re: Emily Wilder fiasco.
nothing has been learned by right-wing smear campaign.

undeniable AP message to staffers: if Fox News comes after you, you WILL be thrown under the bus
AP to staffers: you can never express a personal opinion abt ANY topic bc one day you might be called on to report on that issue, even indirectly.

what an inauspicious start for new Post editor; pressrun.media/p/incoming-was…
“Whether Buzbee directly ordered Wilder’s firing is unclear. But Buzbee is among the highest ranking executives at the news operation and everyone there must have known terminating Wilder would generate lots of news. “
“More significantly, Buzbee has remained silent as the controversy has escalated and the AP has been widely denounced within journalism circles for giving in to disingenuous, right-wing trolls who aren’t seeking fairness, but instead want media scalps as trophies”

my latest — caving in to GOP mob; pressrun.media/p/incoming-was…
“The firing of Wilder is not only troubling for the AP, it’s also a problem for the Post, as it prepares for Buzbee’s arrival.”
“The last thing the paper wanted during this key transition period was to be grappling with doubts about Buzbee’s leadership. But after watching the Winter debacle unfold last week at the AP, it’s impossible to not question the editor’s newsroom guidance.”

“He was a drug addict who was a criminal who resisted arrest and put himself in a position where what happened to him happened. If he didn’t resist arrest, it wouldn’t have happened.”

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;
yes @SallyBuzbee needs to explain this before she leaves AP to become WashPost editor
