The chasm between journalism and insiderdom has never been wider
The year 2026 has been a watershed one for the sports media world. And it’s appropriate that two of the biggest stories of the year came to a conclusion within 24 hours of each other.

So... 1) Politico got audio of El-Sayed comparing a progressive primary win to putting an "ogre on a pike." Describes audio as if it refers to Stevens. 2) Stevens fans say this is offensive to Stevens. 3) In story about reax, Politico uses fuller quote, which referred to Fetterman not Stevens.

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.
