hey all, this will be a carnival barking thread so feel free to ignore. A month ago I started a substack with contributions from @sarahlazare. In that month we have published 14 articles that I think are pretty good. I'll be posting a few here for you to read (or ignore)
We kicked it off with a breakdown of NYT reporter Peter Baker relying on an (undisclosed) Raytheon board member to criticize Biden's Afghanistan military withdrawal. thecolumn.substack.com/p/on-afghanist…
Then a criticism of the media's habit of likening all bad things to Primitive Foreigners Over There thecolumn.substack.com/p/texas-taliba…
Then Sarah wrote about how our massive military budgets are, in and of themselves, a form of climate denialism. thecolumn.substack.com/p/as-us-cities…
Then Sarah and I wrote about NPR's whitewashed labor history thecolumn.substack.com/p/nprs-labor-d…
A critique of the media's "worker shortage" coverage that helped throw millions off life-saving pandemic aid

a takedown of Global Citizen, fatuous Bill Gates and World Bank-funded reputation laundromat thecolumn.substack.com/p/its-not-just…
Jake Tapper's history fo phony, left-punching deficit scolding thecolumn.substack.com/p/new-study-sh…
We were the first to report that CNN is almost certainly running a paid PR campaign for the UAE thecolumn.substack.com/p/cnn-wont-say…
Other topics included EU's media double game of announcing large vaccine donations whole opposing vaccine manufacturing in the global south, dehumanizing coverage of migrants and homeless people, Mike Rowe's horrible new TV show, and more.
Anyway, sign up if you can! We hope to do it for a while and make is sustainable. I missed writing very much and am glad to be back doing it. Thanks all, sorry for the self-promotion. Won't happen again for a while. thecolumn.substack.com
