Also anyone with any actual experience managing a newsroom knows that if you have real reporters in your bullpen they will confront you with real questions about your intentions. If you can’t handle it, you have no business managing a newsroom.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Serious question: Why hasn't a Congressperson asked if Hegseth is willing to take a Breathalyzer test after responses he makes like these while testifying?? CC: @brianbeutler.bsky.social, @danpfeiffer.bsky.social

MOULTON: How much has Iran profited from your administration lifting the sanctions? HEGSETH: Iran is financially devastated right now MOULTON: They've earned about $14 billion. Does that sound like winning?

Yikes: "What's the point of standards?" What used to be the Tiffany Network is now apparently borrowing a tagline from an online dating site circa 2010.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality. Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

The ability to ask intelligent questions and drive out intelligent answers is one of the most unheralded skills a person to have, Someone needs to teach this.

This applies to more than just journalism too. The amount of throat-clearing pablum everywhere is at an all-time high. It's freeing, redlining out whole chunks of unneeded text and getting to the point. Respect your audience!

For @talkingpointsmemo.com I wrote about the one journalistic skill that bloggers did better than any other writers, which was to get to the fucking point. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/this-...

Deborah Cohen's "Last Call at the Hotel Imperial" -- about a number of foreign correspondents in the run up to World War II, as well as its aftermath -- is the best book I've read so far this year.

Continuing a 🧵 of the books I’m reading in 2023: #17 is Jennifer Egan's "The Candy House." It's good, but does it reflect poorly on me that I liked "A Visit from the Goon Squad" more?

#20: "The Family Jewels," by the wonderful Irish writer Caimh McDonnell. It's the 8th book in the Dublin trilogy (a slight renaming might be in order!)...and he's only becoming a stronger writer with each book.

#18: "Two Nights in Lisbon," by Chris Pavone. I've become a big fan of this author, but his four other books are better than his newest (it's also a mild twist in genre for him). That said, it's still very good, in the vein of a "Gone Girl"- esque summer beach read.
