They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically.

Julia Keller @jk304.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Such a wonderful, nuanced essay. So many of us, I think, don’t know quite how to feel about Nuzzi - is she victim or villain? - and Walsh captures that ambivalence splendidly. Essays don’t always have to be violent polemics; they also can be, as this one is, thoughtful explorations of the times. 141
