Holy shit: When Will Lewis was newly-hired Publisher and CEO of the Washington Post, he offered NPR media reporter David Folkenflik an exclusive story about the paper's future in exchange for him killing a story about Lewis' involvement in covering up criminal activity at Rupert Murdoch's tabloids.

My husband is reading a really interesting book about activist burn out, and basically every chapter that looks at specific historical activists shows that being unable to acknowledge even minor victories leads to burn out and depression.

Taxpayer money meant for public education shouldn’t fund private religious schools, for the same reason that taxpayer money meant for public parks shouldn’t fund private pools in a megachurch pastor’s backyard. If religious schools want taxpayer money, they should pay taxes.
