they’re never going to air the CECOT segment

A13. In case you're wondering how newsy it is to have the President dead to rights.

CBS’s Bari Weiss Accused Trump of Using ‘Anti-Jewish Tropes’ In Resurfaced Interview www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...

I truly cannot wait for these incredibly stupid people to find out what happens when you try to wave the flag harder than Fox News

NEW from me: Currently on tap for Tony Dokoupil on his first day as CBS Evening News anchor -- taking a private plane to Miami to so he can go jet skiing with DJ Khaled and play soccer with David Beckham. Take that, elites! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

“FBI says FBI thwarted FBI-inspired terror attacks”

"Many of those investigations, like the one that led to the charges against Sturdivant, involved undercover agents or officers offering encouragement and in some cases suggestions on carrying out those attacks." Then why give them the headlines they want???? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

What Weiss and Adam O'Neal at the Post are really signaling is that nothing like the 1619 Project will be produced under their leadership. 1619 was not unpatriotic, but called for America to live up to its ideals, not its history and practices.

I also love America and believe in its stated values. And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.

I suspect transgender rights and higher education are two issues where NYT leadership is as opposed to the progressive left's positions as the right's. So they lean into right-wing framing of those subjects to rebut broader liberal bias charges. transnews.network/p/a-directiv...

This brainrot is more responsible for the rise of authoritarianism in the US than any of the wokeness it will not shut up about

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

Bari Weiss’s CBS News directly attacking academics, subject matter experts, in the promo for her new CBS Evening News.

again at some point when you continue to consistently isolate yourself as an organization from reality, you make yourself increasingly useless to the average person. Every time the NYT tries to use Jews as a wedge against the new mayor, I’m just gonna post the Mamdani-Patinkin Hanukkah video.

The @nytimes.com of course casts this as an anti-Israel move. They hate him and want him to fail. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/nyregion/mamdani-executive-orders-adams-israel.html

Is there any group hiring former prosecutors to start putting together these cases in exile? There should be.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Worst. Year. Ever.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Republicans think releasing the Jack Smith deposition on New Year's Eve will make it get lost in the fray. Prove them wrong by spreading the word; here are some key takeaways to get us started. www.rawstory.com/jack-smith-2...

I’ve been writing an annual column for 20 years on the year in sports and politics. Here’s this year’s edition. Short version: 2025 was the fucking worst. But maybe 2026 sees a turnaround that’s already being glimpsed in unlikely places www.thenation.com/article/soci...

These both-sidesing year-in-review pieces that don’t center the cruelty, destructiveness, racism, and derangement of the Trump agenda are the perfect capper to a year of inexcusable normalizing by the elite media.

Look at how the #BrokenPost's presentation: Next to a picture making him look at is he has a sane thought in his head, they say he's "reshaping" public health. No, he is killing people and endangering children.

It is white nationalism, but to the #BrokenPost it merely "underscores the sea change at an agency central to President Donald Trump’s civil rights agenda." It is America's Nuremberg laws. Why Trump’s EEOC wants to talk to White men about discrimination www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

She’s a white supremacist qanon conspiracy theorist who wants transgender people to be dehumanized. Outlets like the Bulwark are basically trying to turn the Democratic Party and liberalism into conservatism because they couldn’t police their own movement from Trumpism.

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him. Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...

The US is at war with Venezuela. No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity. US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

CNN becomes the first US outlet to confirm Trump's attack on the Venezuelan mainland. He apparently did report it to Congress. This is an act of war and a violation of the UN Charter. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela. And this does cross a red line of violating the UN Charter -- where the boat strikes on high seas had not. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

And yet Caldwell is regularly featured on the NYT op-ed page: www.nytimes.com/by/christoph...

I was going to write one saying: I told you so I told you so I told you so Nobody listens But who wants to read that?

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

She followed around a Parkland kid to harass him about how school shootings aren’t real, and her doing this shit propelled her to conspiracy internet fame then Congress. You do not have to hand it to her.

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever." - Dept. of Education to ProPublica's @megomatz.bsky.social "Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But ... their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated."

I had the same impression. It is more of a transcription than an interview.

I think "credulous" gives the Times, and these reporters in particular, the benefit of a doubt as to whether it's merely incompetence rather than active complicity they are no longer entitled to receive.

The NYT is in the business of sanewashing Republican fascists at all costs.

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

WaPo lead story is even by Bezos-era standards a disgrace, a long, almost entirely anonymously sourced press release for Vance & Musk that ends with declaring the latter akin to the Buddha. By Elizabeth Dwoskin, Natalie Allison, & Faiz Siddiqui. Bylines matter on work this obsequious.
