“Why doesn’t the Times say that Trump should drop out?” Maybe because Biden would lose badly to anyone else.

Don't get me started. It's insane. "Well, why haven't they called on Trump to drop out?" Uh, because he's the authoritarian menace who must be defeated.

People are always trying to leave Politico. Still, it's shocking to see Jack Shafer, one of the great voices in media criticism, moving on. I hope he lands in a good place where his voice will continue to be heard.

My totally unsupported theory on why SCOTUS is taking such a long time with the Trump immunity case: Roberts, of whom I am not a fan, is nevertheless trying to prevail upon the far-right wing not to do something deeply stupid and damaging.

I'm not cynical enough to think this is deliberate. But it's amazing how often the @nytimes.com publishes something with a terrible both-sidesy headline, gets ripped for it (along with a bunch of angry hate-clicks) and then changes it to something more palatable (second item). #journalism

Will Lewis sounds a charmer and a suck-up who sold himself to Patty Stonefiser and Jeff Bezos as tech bro kind of media guy who speaks the language of innovation and disruption. Shame on them for not seeing through it and for failing to do their due diligence. #journalism
