It’s so funny that there’s one reporter that all the other reporters are also scared of
I generally try not to comment on Twitter but Isaac Chotiner is over there giving Semafor body blows right now and I just want to say I find it alarming that he's allowed to come for you without warning (asking for an interview)

back on my bullshit
an essential part of journalism is plainly saying things like “this person is a liar who is lying” instead of using a bunch of pseudo-intellectual garbage phrasing to explain away the fact that the person is a liar who is lying

RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.
