Wrote about Michael Bennet's heel turn against establishment Democrats www.jezebel.com/establishmen...
The jig is up in the Democratic Party. The base has shifted, and they don’t want the kind of capital-friendly and compromise-minded politics that made Bennet the apple of Barack Obama and other establishment Democrats’ eyes. People want fighters, not folders, as Brad Lander famously said. We can fight about socialism versus liberalism later on when we can afford the luxury of ideological debates, but for now, this is a crisis and we need serious people willing to call it one and propose the major reforms needed to pull this constitutional car out of the ditch.

I’d suggest the genre of profile journalism has some shortcomings
The cover of Fortune Magazine that calls the convicted fraud Sam Bankman-Fried “the next warren buffet” because of his crypto-scamThe cover of Forbes, where Elizabeth Holmes holds a capsule of blood for a cover story extolling her genius, shortly before she was convicted for fraud and sentenced to a long prison sentence.A glossy photo spread extolling the glamour and taste of Asma al-Assad, weeks before her husband committed multiple war crimes and eventually had to flee to Russia to avoid being hacked apart by an enraged rob.
