"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

One of the features of the Trump era is a formalization of the use of enemies lists to induce terror. It is one thing when MAGA influencers or organizations are naming you as an enemy of the state, but it takes on a different cast when its the White House. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...
The White House web site now includes a "media bias" tracker with a leaderboard and an offender hall of shame. www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Human memory is context dependent, you remember things best when you can place it into multiple contexts, several different angles.

I always say that it's better to hold off on blaming a particular political side for an act of violence. Here's why I'm blaming today's national guard shooting on the woke left.

Russia's ongoing scheme to trick desperate people to fight in Ukraine with promises of fake jobs is clearly a sign it wants a war it cannot win to end.

Russia's only chance to win is paying off Trump to sell out Ukraine. That's what Trump/Witkoff are attempting. The other option is a democratic US/international coalition giving Ukraine long range missiles to destroy Russia's military bases. Otherwise, Russia won't stop until it is stopped.

There's a whole swath of political media -- Semafor, Axios, Politico, etc. -- where the average piece reads like a press release commissioned by its subject rather than an objective and independent analysis of them.
This is just embarrassing.

What we’re seeing is a repeated and increasingly explicit offer of white reconciliation over a shared commitment to preserving white supremacy.
James Carville a few months ago: "Roll over and play dead."
James Carville now: "The Democratic Party must now run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression."
Genius! If only someone had thought of this before!

The article is called "Out With Woke". He specifically calls for sacrificing all marginalized communities upon the altar of the revered white male. Is that how desperate liberals have gotten for any sort of hollow "win"?
