Hey, Bari Weiss, we still have room in our first-year journalism classes, where you can learn what true journalism really should be. What it should not be is this:

This is the U.S. Department of Labor’s new social-media campaign. Notice anything?

Did one of the largest protests in the history of the United States happen yesterday? You might not know it from today’s printed @nytimes.com, which had nothing above the fold, a small teaser below and a story buried on Page 23.

There is no denying that the @jaketapper.bsky.social/ @alexthompson.bsky.social book “Original Sin” is revelatory. But the emerging theme among Beltway journos, expressed by @politico today, that the Biden cover-up will be a major issue for voters in ‘28, is absurd and a reflection of DC myopia.

It took @axios.com all of a day to tell us that the Signal scandal doesn’t matter. Expecting a lead piece tomorrow on how the Democrats mishandled it.

Why does @axios.com seem to spend more time analyzing Democrats than reporting on our constitutional crisis?

I didn't expect this, but I'm increasingly feeling that Amy Coney Barrett is going to save the Union.

Enormously proud of @cbsnews.com and the journalists of @60minutes.bsky.social for their rapid-response investigative reporting on the ravaging of justice at the Justice Department. In the face of @FCC threats, we see some courage.

While the world reels from unhinged comments from our president, the nation’s most watched news network focuses on … Bama football.

“I will not be bullied by this administration” on the values of diversity and equity in Pennsylvania, Gov. @joshshapiropa.bsky.social tells a largely Black audience in Philadelphia.

For insight into Brent Bozell, Trump’s nominee to head the U.S.Agency for Global Media, here’s the last tweet he reposted before the announcement.

Why does this feel like a Harold & Kumar movie? What clowns.

Salute to @anntelnaes.bsky.social, quitting @washingtonpost.com after her cartoon featuring her boss Jeff Bezos was spiked. Here it is:

Stunned that @CNN would use Dr. Deborah Birx, who was widely criticized for her role as Trump’s COVID guru, as an expert on bird flu.

Is there a MAGA mole on the @nytimes.com copy desk? Consistently, the headlines are far more Trump-leaning than the stories are. Today’s exhibit:

Which of these presidential messages would you want to share with your children and grandchildren?

Choosing Matt Gaetz as AG was bad enough. But choosing former Sixer Doug Collins as Director of Veterans Affairs is over the top.
