You have to admire the chutzpah of Ted Cruz attacking Karen Bass and Dems in LA right now. Ted Cruz wasn’t on an official trip out of town when Texas snow storms hit & shut down his state - he fled to Cancun AFTER the crisis began, to stay at the Ritz & have a nice time. 250+ people died in Texas

This is a list I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits. You would think it would grow out-of-date, but...

The list reads:

Defense of democracy seen as basic to the job.

Symmetrical accounts of asymmetrical realities seen as malpractice.

“Politics as strategic game” frame seen as low quality, downmarket, amateurish— and overmatched.

Bad actors with a history of misinforming the public seen as unsuitable sources and unwelcome guests.

Internalizing of the “liberal bias” critique seen as self-crippling, a historic mistake in need of correction.

Hegseth is a member of a far-right Christian Nationalist church based in Idaho. This is a real threat.

Just a reminder that in 2020, Dr. Oz suggested that opening schools during COVID would "only cost us 2-3% in terms of total mortality," and that "any life is a life lost but... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

Ron is correct. If you are terrified of the man you are supposed to be aggressively covering, retire. That television slot can be taken by someone with a spine.

No. The 2nd amendment isn’t so private citizens could fight the government. That’s a right wing lie. It was for slave holding states to form militias against slave rebellions and defend slavery. — Historian Carol Anderson Uncovers The Racist Roots Of The 2nd Amendment www.npr.org/2021/06/02/1...

Looking up occasionally at muted CNN and seeing Biden exchanging fist bumps with UAW picketers and a report that Trump is arguing windmills drive whales insane. The next 14 months will be a JOURNEY

Hmmm. Just 3? * The Night Manager, John le Carré * The HItch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, Douglas Adams (et al; all 6 volumes) * Playback, Raymond Chandler (as well as most of what he wrote)
