It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.
About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.
Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

Never forget how ass out Ben was to defend Nuzzi as news of her scandals broke.
Never forget who dove head first into defending this. Remember them every time we hear about a kid who dies of whooping cough.

But also, I deeply appreciate that last tweet. A lot of the sins of the modern news media involve reporters and editors pretending to be stupid and thus insulting and misleading their audience, so I’m glad he called that out.

He’s fallen victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ but only slightly less known is ‘Do not go in against Isaac Chotiner and goad him into reporting on you!’

The responses to both of these posts made me glad I was comprehensive in my alt-text, even though it was tedious to input. Also, a small part of my brain is clearly still a media reporter.
