Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Okay and also as a DC resident I’m gonna keep yelling about this:
Olivia, I have lived in this city since 2013. Never once have I “run into John Kerry or Newt Gingrich.”
Maybe you should’ve occasionally traveled beyond the seven-block radius surrounding your Georgetown apartment.
Asshole.

If Nuzzi is a post-truth antivaxxer, she should say so.
If she isn’t, she should say so.
But you don’t get to work hard to elevate RFK Jr and then just gloss over what he has done.
Certainly not in your memoir that is purportedly about what you learned from the whole ideal.

The whole “aw shucks we’re so polarized and post-truth, who can tell what to believe now” schtick also hits different when the guy you torched your career for is the antivaxxer who burned down the NIH.

Pages 68-70 (which feels vaguely Chapter 3ish) we get a transcript of a back-and-forth between Olivia and Maggie Haberman.
There’s a directionless quality to the prose. These pages are broadly about Trump, but presented as a string of personal recollections.

I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Like, the previous passage, about the lobster-grilled-cheese-sandwich, really only works if there’s a witty kicker.
Otherwise we’re on page 36 and you’re already just filling space mentioning that one time you found someone else’s lunch order to be unmemorable.
Nuzzi doesn’t do witty kickers.

I’m over 30 pages in, and the tone of the book has the feel of Chapter 2. We’re done with the introduction, the telling-everyone-what-she-plans-to-tell-them.
I’d describe the thesis of chapter 2 as “isn’t it interesting being me.”
And, speaking as a reader, no. Not really.

And (2) this is precisely Chris Cillizza’s genre of political writing. (“Oh, the performance!”)
Cillizza somehow has a mass audience, even though I have never once encountered a person who reads him.

If you enjoy substance-free politics, then it’s probably quite evocative. (So. Much. Imagery!)

Nuzzi is the type of journalist who treats politics as offering entertaining characters, and zero stakes or substance.
She has had a remarkably successful career within that particular genre.
Her self-immolation, along with this vacuous memoir, illustrates the genre’s limits.
