this sort of thing is why I no longer get upset when presidents don’t give press conferences. More than any other beat, these reporters think it’s their job to be incurious doormats. An utter waste of shrinking news budgets.
I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

i think all the time about the discourse around the oscars slap. i forget who it was who said this but their takeaway was "listen, these are three highly specific and extremely strange individuals colliding at once in a singular event. there is nothing to be learned or extrapolated here"

This is also why I'm dubious that Part 4 will be an actual bombshell. Biden was cooked once Clooney (Obama ally) turned on him
(i don’t think nuzzi’s profile of biden really affected perceptions of him or his electoral chances, my memory is that when it came out it was considered a little behind the conventional wisdom)

And they didn’t used to be reliable either.
One thing the media need to get used to is that law enforcement sources are a whole lot less reliable than they used to be

I assumed this was the Charlie Kirk Effect, but the survey was taken a month prior to his death.
NEW: The share of Republicans who say politicians should avoid heated language that might encourage violence rose from 56% in early 2024 to 75% in mid-2025.

whenever anyone asks how I’ve “made it work” in journalism, i tell them the truth. I haven’t made it work—I have a wife.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
