Unassisted double play via two force outs.

Outfielder knocked the ball down and prevented the home run, but failed to actually catch it. He threw it in and, because the runners had all gone back to tag, he actually beat the runner home. Then the guy on second lost track of the play and stood there.

A hashtag for twitter screenshots would allow people to filter these but would take social clout to get going.

Even before Weiss, they lost all credibility selling out 60 MINUTES to bribe Trump.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Probably just a coincidence that all the “powerful institutions” Bari holds to account are the same ones RWers have spent the last century trying to eradicate.

Clay Ranck @clayranck.bsky.social · 1d

I love how Caitlin’s main example of Bari Weiss speaking truth to power is a piece about NPR that just goes through the same right-wing tropes about liberal media that we’ve heard a thousand times before.

That she will somehow denigrate the storied
CBS News—it has been reported that some staff members have delivered minatory instructions to not "mess with the Golden Goose(s) of '60 Minutes' and 'CBS News Sunday Morning," as though West 57th Street were the O.K. Corral—is a complete misreading of her and her vision, which is to bring the traditional methods of American journalism back to the news, and also to build a culture of ideas. This is exactly what she's done at The Free Press, which covers a variety of stories, the most popular of which
—Uri Berliner's explanation of NPR's decline, for example—are those that hold powerful institutions to account.
