American Canto is nearly indistinguishable from parody, except that "Olivia Nuzzi describes sounds" is somehow weirder than any joke.

We called the auditor.
He resigned in August.
That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

"There was something inherently dishonest about the 18-year-old I met at 52 and started dating" is an outrageous and morally bankrupt way to try to seem prescient.

Somehow the news today is managing to be far too immediate, with the WaPo replacing sourced reporting with bigoted speculation, or far too late, with Lizza sitting on information about the HHS secretary who's destroying public health.
Why can't we just get important info once it's confirmed?!

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

Since someone cracked and took one for the team, it's clear that Ryan Lizza reversed convention and put the most explicit (and scarring) content in front of, not behind, the paywall.
But this is a major new accusation of Nuzzi killing stories (and more) for RFK Jr.
