Does this entire Biden-as-senile movement come down to him not recognizing George Clooney? George Clooney who no longer even lives in the US?

The other Charles Johnson was very active in 2023 being a source for articles about Peter Thiel claiming grandiosely he was helping the FBI. A shocking number of media outlets treated him as an important, trustable voice. (Chuck had been in my DMs the year before swearing Peter worked for the CIA).

Yes, just wondered if this was a cynical ploy rather than innocent ignorance. It feels worse if it is knowing and cynical.

Just... maybe Rollins is just pretending here? She has an ag degree from Texas A&M. She can't have graduated without understanding the cattle industry.
Pretend-stupidity is a weapon in today's politics. Be stupid to push a stupid policy on an audience you think is stupid too.

Brooke Rollins has a degree in agricultural development from Texas A&M; she knows how the cattle industry works. She's just pretending to be stupid here.

Driscoll is a pro-Russia voice, appointed because he was a friend of JD Vance. He has no strategic expertise, served only 3 years in the military, and never went beyond 1st Lieutenant. What he is doing here is trying to undermine Ukraine and set the grounds for its capitulation.

OK we will concede that you like Ravid and think he is a good journalist and has been treated unfairly and stop this conversation because everything has been said.

Since this leaker was Jared Kushner, yes, agree with that. But Barak Ravid is a fool too, he is busy posting frantically on Twitter that the Dmitriev plan was a US creation, and blocking other journalists who try to talk sense to him.

I'm sorry if this puzzles you. I wish we could all assume that anonymous sources leaking are all noble whistleblowers and a journalist has no higher calling than to transcribe their words. But that's not the world we live in. Leaks are strategies to craft an effect. 3/

Ravid did not fact-check what he was told or consider why his source would be leaking this info to him at this time. That's not accurate journalism. It's laundering someone's framing into print.
This is garden-variety working the press. It happens all the time. Good journalists don't play along. 2/

Repeating: the point of the Axios leak was to portray the plan as "official". And Ravid played along, crediting his source as a US official rather than as the freelancing Kushner, calling it US plan crafted by Witkoff and Kushner with only a bit of Russian "input". Not Dmitriev's wishlist. 1/

Knowing when your source is lying is an important part of being a journalist. Journalism means telling readers what is important, what matters, what is true. Not just transcribing what a motivated source tells you. We don't call that "accurate journalism". We call that being a tool.

Given today's revelations of how Witkoff was effectively working for Russia, ask: Why didn't Ravid notice that something was off with this "peace plan"? Where were his journalistic instincts? Did he not ask any questions? How did he miss the larger story and allow himself to be used?

1) Ravid's Nov. 19 article claims the leaker is a "US official", which Kushner is not, and 2) the Axios articles portrayed the plan as authored by Americans and representing official policy, none of which proved to be true.
No one's saying Ravid did anything worse than that - hack journalism.

DOGE was a lot of things at once, and we need to remember that the data grab was part of it, and that succeeded. Thiel and others in Silicon Valley wanted to aggregate data on all Americans, and they succeeded - it all got exfiltrated, and Palantir got the contract. Elon was collateral damage.

True, but Kash may have set a pattern that's hard to break - it will be hard to find someone competent and evil willing to take over and clean up the mess. The FBI is probably neutered as a tool for authoritarianism for the near future.

But anyone with sense won't take the job, so the level of competency isn't going to go up. To impose evil effectively you have to start out with both evil and competence. Trump's on a downward spiral now.
