I'm a media critic. I read and point to that which I criticize.
Please don't tell me the #BrokenTimes, #BrokenPost have paywalls and registration. We know.
Please don't tell me to stop reading.

We have more important things to worry about!
Yes, Northwestern and @medillschool.bsky.social, go hide in shame. You realize that no one will want to give you money to turn around and give it to Donald Trump. My alma mater is dead to me.

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.

The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.
