Any one of the reporters in that room could turn around and give it right back to him. "How dare you, you obese, senile Nazi." That reporter would become a national hero, maybe have a holiday named after them in a decade or two.

Arguably the best movie about journalism. Definitely top three.

When historians look back on "The Chinese Century" they will see that it became inevitable here.

Not as often as I think about how strange it is that he was cricket fan.

Something the Supreme Court and The New York Times have in common then...

When you're the last one to realize it was just a pyramid scheme.

All UK newspapers should refuse to cover Brighton games until this attack on the free press is defeated.

You spelled "Most Selfish" wrong.

If Dems want to run on the "strong floor, no ceiling" thing (the dumbest slogan I have ever heard), how about this: nobody earns more than 40x more than the poorest person in America. You can be as billionaire as you like, as long as you bring the rest of the country along for the ride.

If Joe Biden had sent drones to blow up the entire Sackler family we would never hear the end of it.

It's a phrase he heard playing Call of Duty. He doesn't understand what it means but he thought it would sound cool.

Venezuela!!!!

FIFA now has two choices: (1) make this a one time thing and forget about it or (3) hand it out to the world's worst despots every four years. Because no one with even a passing interest in peace would accept it after this.

No but if a robust antitrust regime, “none of the above” would have been the default

We have been living in Reform's world for a decade. Brexit was a Reform priotiry. Immigration policies of both parties are plagiarized from Reform. People who say they will vote Reform because things need to change are delusional. Reform will be literally more of the same.

Helpful to understand that this is Trump's pro-oligarch policy working entirely as intended.

"How was I to know that this slippery slope, which I have been greasing with every word I have written since Nixon left office, would carry us all the way down here?"

Does she root for Sauron?

True story: I was thrown out of a movie theater for laughing too loudly and too long at Phoebe Cates' story about why she hates Christmas.

"Now Admiral if you could stand right there... I think I see a bus coming."

If we had a serious media in this country, tomorrows headlines woud read: "Trump says pharma companies will PAY YOU thousands of dollars to use their prodicts."

"Strong floors, no ceiling" is a message designed to win back the billionaire vote and make sure working men and women know their place.

If they don't enjoy it, maybe one of them should say something to him about it. There's no law against telling the president he's a giant dick.

Did you get to "A Boy and His Dog" yet? And honestly, you should continue through to 1988 or you'll miss "Hell Comes to Frogtown," a true high-water mark for the genre.

I have not felt so out of touch with popular taste since I found out there were people who enjoyed Avatar.

Yeah, but in the 70s it wasn't being led by the Labour Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Palantir is like if Cyberdyne Systems was run by a real super-villain.

Appointing Hegseth was a calculated message of contempt for the US military (far from the first). Now Trump and Hegseth are going to throw some second lieutenant somewhere under the bus for war crimes. And our senior military officers will all just look the other way.

It's not like we were using our critical thinking skills even before this tech came along.

Still haven't fully paid the price for that heinous Jon Gruden contract.

Scary if a lie. Scarier if truth.

I'm more interested in rebuilding the lives and livelihoods destroyed than I am in rebuilding a bricks and mortar structure. Sadly, I don't expect Democrats to make any serious effort to do either without a major change of leadership.

Not a West Ham fan at all, but respect to the voices of empathy and compassion that seem to have driven this decision. Hope it works out for all involved. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I am honest enough to admit that everything I hate about Schwarber as a Philly I would love about him as a Met. Sorry.

This. The media have signed on to a simple deal: we will regurgitate whatever garbage you feed us and in exchange you can abuse us as much as you like. All we ask in return is that you keep the garbage plentiful and as rancid as possible.

Pretty sure I heard him say these were the Best Poll Numbers Ever!!!

Is this bad? Looks bad to me

When a Republican White House has lost Yglesias....

Because they are not yet fully assimilated. Once they become truly American, they will be criming with the rest of us.

oooh, do Christmas next

The guy got himself a gun, traveled across the country, and opened fire on a group of people he didn't know. What could be more American? If anything, he assimilated too well.

Won't anybody think of the multi-millionaires?

"Deployed to protect people"? Really? That just seems so detached from reality.

Yes, those 10 warrants are horrible, but you're missing the important part of the story: the team was UNBEATEN!!!

Especially because by the time you need to call an election, only about 2% of voters will remember anything about this budget. If you can't be bold now, when?

This. They didn't come for religious freedom, they came to escape religious freedom. Oh, and they wanted a war on Christimas because they fucking hated Christmas.

What does it say that there are 2 things we could do right now to boost the economy--increased immirgation and return to the EU--and not one of the major parties is prepared to even whisper about either.

Ms Borges should be touring the US, lecturing in every major newsroom about the right way to cover authoritarianism? Yes, it's easier in a country with respect for democracy and the rule of law, like Brazil. But maybe the media could start to instil such respect here if it made an effort.

Didn't they used to include angels on this list?

Maybe I'm cynical but it would be no surprise at all to find out that this woman was deliberately targeted as part of a custody dispute or some vendetta. Certainly that would be in-character for an administration that is powered by personal animus and pretty grievance.
