The Wash. Post repeatedly allowed Hugh Hewitt to write columns praising Scott Pruitt without disclosing that Hewitt’s law firm does work before the EPA. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/05/0…
There are numerous other potential and real conflicts of interest that Hewitt has in his media roles at the Post and MSNBC -- as seen by this press release from his law firm: larsonobrienlaw.com/litigation-bou…
Wash. Post Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt issued this statement to @mmfa re: Hewitt.
Here is Hewitt's law firm's 2017 "Year in Review," which touts that he got an MSNBC show. larsonobrienlaw.com/wp-content/upl…
And here is Hewitt's law firm's 2016 "Year in Review" touting his media profile. These brochures, of course, are meant for clients and to get new business. larsonobrienlaw.com/wp-content/upl…
And another piece on the law firm's website: larsonobrienlaw.com/hugh-hewitt-is…
An addendum to this post: Hewitt used one of his Wash. Post columns to praise the rollback of the "overreaching 'Waters of the United States’ rule of the Obama years." A seemingly random reference ...
But his law firm has been representing an oil and gas company that's connected to that rule and the related Clean Water Act: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/05/0…

mediamatters.org/blog/2018/12/0… Dana Loesch tries to argue that there’s no need to keep guns from kids, blaming “absent or subpar” parenting for teen suicide. Not only does this victim-blaming fail to account for realities of mental illness, it is also incoherent.
The point is that a major aspect of being a good parent is providing a safe environment for children to grow up in.

And while conservatives may not like hearing it, part of that is not having guns in the house. To avoid “subpar” parenting, get rid of guns.
What Loesch is arguing is the equivalent of saying that a “good” parent wouldn’t need to lock poisons away from children. In reality, good parenting involves things like putting locks on cabinets. It’s 101.

mediamatters.org/blog/2018/12/0… I think this piece is right that conservatives traffic in liberal outrage — my book, Troll Nation, is all about this — but I think it’s wrong to assume this means that Coulter, Erickson, Lahren, Yiannopoulos etc. don’t mean the awful things they say.
I don’t think it’s preposterous to assume a number of right wing figures mean it when they say they’d like to see political opponents murdered. Pinochet wasn’t joking when he threw people from helicopters, and Erickson wasn’t joking when he fantasized about it.
There is no reason to think Americans are uniquely incapable of turning to the viciousness that other countries have endured at the hands of authoritarians who gain power. Indeed, we’ve already seen a journalist murdered, and Trump is actively trying to cover it up.

1/ What's wrong with #lawfirm compensation? Let @jordan_law21 count the ways.As predicted 🔮 (by me, about what I was going to do 😇), a #tweetstorm. First the link: law21.ca/2018/09/how-co…
2/ Next, my favorite #micdrop 🎤 quote: "law firms incentivize their lawyers to act in ways that are counter-productive to lwayers' happiness, clients' satisfaction and the firms' effectiveness." and 💥goes the 🧨-- more #truthbombs follow.
3/ 💯 agree that legacy compensation systems (and the attendant infrastructure of #tech, #process, #policy, governance as well as resulting #culture) emphasizes #lawyer effort over #client outcomes (namely, the billable hour). BUT I add here: what would be a better #alternative?

1) How significant was the election impact of Russian hacking & leaking of the proceeds of the crime using WikiLeaks as a front? Very significant. We can visualize it by looking at some salient data from Gallup, among others.
2) You may recall that “email” was the *dominant* word voters said they heard about HRC, for well over a year news.gallup.com/poll/195596/em…
3) One thing that’s often forgotten is that the universally deceptive WikiLeaks stories based on leaked, stolen emails (see: electionado.com/canvas/1476467…) – seamlessly merged into the broader theme of “email” stories that voters were hearing about HRC in 2016

BREAKING: Judicial Watch obtained 900 pages of docs from the #EPA that reveal the agency’s use of the mass-sharing #Thunderclap social media platform to covertly promote its policies – in violation of federal law. (1/5)
jwatch.us/fZNusj
The docs show that #EPA staffers used the #Thunderclap platform – which shares messages across many FB, Twitter, & Tumblr accounts simultaneously – to recruit outside groups to lobby in support of the #CleanWaterRule. (2/5)
jwatch.us/fZNusj
Federal law prohibits agencies like the #EPA from engaging in propaganda efforts. Federal law also prohibits agencies like the #EPA from using federal resources to conduct grassroots lobbying. (3/5)
