It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

Today's is a big one: it's not only a #newpost, it's our 600th post since the establishment of the #DO in 2013!

A perfect time to remind you that the #DO is the only open-access magazine that covers topics in the #DH worlds of Asian, N. African and Middle Eastern fields.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

The Dem establishment is going to back Mills over the absolute phenom outsider Platner in Maine, which tells you everything you need to know about how well they understand the current moment & how prepared they are to meet it.

I suppose if the question here is 'why don't these fields produce new discoveries at the same rate as the sciences' the answer is a pretty obvious, 'because they're not funded like the sciences.'

We could do a lot of archaeology with, say, a few billion dollars a year!

I'd argue "the sciences" also are much, much slower than most people think.

Advancement is kind of related to news and SciComm taking incemental, often mutually exclusive studies as definitive answers instead of particular moments in an argument.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

Aside, of course, from the Palestinian state, is there any player in this whole Middle East arrangement who hasn't bribed Trump, his family, or his aides and their family, or done psy-ops for Trump's campaigns?

This is the art of the deal in the 21st century, post-democracy

Can an historian of journalism please explain to me how the rule developed where a president says something, it has to be taken seriously as possibly true, even if it is obviously false. This rule must have a history (meaning, it can change! That is my point!)

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

1/ pope travels on private planes
2/ pope has access to politicians any time they want
3/ pope lives wealthy and can obtain material things he desires
4/ pope protects pedophiles.

Literally, no difference
