They should do a Law & Order episode that represents the nobility of modern journalism: a year after a serial cannibal is acquitted, a star journalist comes out with a hit book that features evidence and a full sneering confession.
"I am a huge fan of the classic TV series 'Law & Order.' And yet I cannot think of a single episode — among hundreds — in which a journalist is depicted as honorable." www.poynter.org/commentary/2...
Why I’m begging TV showrunners to stop writing journalists as villains - Poynter
I will stop shouting at the TV screen when journalists are portrayed with all their virtues and vices — not as caricatures

For everyone who remembers “The Emperor Has No Clothes,” it just took one kid refusing to play along.
my point is that even *saying* they are going to investigate is quite consequential and important.
of course they need to do much more. but we shouldn't downplay ground gained.

Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign
The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

I mean honestly, if your industry is bleeding workers to ICE? That just tells me your industry attracts evil people but doesn’t pay them very well.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

and you know what? these students should also be judged, and judged harshly for this. running to the admins and state legislators and the press because you got a fairly earned failing grade on an assignment is and should be seen as a mark of extremely poor character. it makes you a very bad person.
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

"You can't demand the final stage of communism immediately," claims a person demanding final stage communism in every western country.
If I may ask, in what way is the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan progressive? As far as I know, the Taliban is the very definition of ultra-conservative.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.
This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

What pisses me off is that even THIS is just a game to them, some fun little prank the president of the United States is playing to keep the masses entertained that they're totally a part of, not the targets of. There isn't a thing on this Earth that could convince them he means to end them.
The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:
-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor
Fools.

I fully, genuinely, unironically believe that if you ever expressed aloud or in print, publicly or privately, so much as an idle wondering if Trump would be the guy to end the GWOT or secure an Israel/Palestine peace accord you should be permanently and irrevocably stripped of your right to vote

Who could've guessed that shrieking constantly how it needed to be in everything while it's only good for a few things could lead to fatigue? As for me, my only real anecdote with the stuff was a friend last night using it on pics to generate random shit as a party trick. Not exactly revolutionary.
my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother
