The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

This campaign has produced the best ads/content of any Democratic campaign I’ve covered since Obama ‘08 and it’s not really close.

Last month, I said Americans are now involuntary employees of Elon Musk: Our labor will be converted into federal subsidies for his businesses.
Now Chicagoans’ tax dollars (including mine 🙋🏼♀️) are being used to protect Musk’s capital instead of the people of the city.
