I’ve been thinking a lot about the @DashaBurns interview of Fetterman. I’ve been around a little while and it’s just astonishing how the reaction to an interview like that within her profession has changed over the years.
when I first started in politics, a journalist was celebrated within the industry for having the courage to report objective facts that were either omitted by colleagues or covered up entirely
Here’s how the inquiry works: So they came at me with the same omission of the specific language in the statute that speaks to water being provided at a polling place, as if I’m some idiot who doesn’t do his homework. When I cite their omission all of a sudden the goalposts move.

Thread on one of the most outrageous frameworks for a story you’ll ever see. Garbage story here:
First, you will notice that somehow the “White House, GOP Face Heat” for a program that was passed unanimously. (This newspaper drastically overplayed Pelosi and Schumer’s role in CARES but now they’re nowhere to be found. Do we still need the House to make laws, or no?)

Quick thread this AM on yesterday:
If you’ve spent time around the Senate you understand the polarizing effect 10+ entirely partisan, predictable & unnecessary votes (into the wee hours) will have for this trial.
Usually towards the end of major Senate debates, after the minority has exhausted all other options, they begin forcing political votes where the outcome is not in doubt. It’s a unifying action that is a signal the fight is over but they’re going to try to make you pay a price

My favorite part of the fake news culture (and one reason it will never, ever repair itself with conservatives) is the commitment to promoting aggrieved Republican dissidents and promenade them to the public as if they’re leading voices. 1/2
If you look at the most prominent news organizations, they fill their “conservative” quota by printing and airing people who have either never been in the game, or were so prominently run out that they’re forever angry at the movement that ran them over.
