Dirty fucking hippies have been saying this for two decades now:
Longtime Capitol Hill reporter quits after Jan. 6, "doubtful that traditional, objective-style journalism is up to the job of covering today’s politics and government." https://t.co/9lOW8Enehv It normalizes and sanitizes, he believes, and "can often obscure the reality."

Now that we know the FBI did not conduct a real investigation into Beer Bong Brett, and yet Brett still felt entitled to rule against precedent? I’m not feeling too sympathetic.
I was talking to a friend last night who works at the Post about why the editorial board has gone even more neo-con than usual. Ugh. It’s a company town, and they’re the company newsletter:

I wrote about 20 years of Jake Tapper's "how will you pay for it" schtick and how it only targets social welfare programs that benefit the poor and vulnerable and never the wars Tapper clearly thinks are righteous and should continue. https://t.co/jizu08hgZB

Trump friend/advisor Barrack’s “private equity firm received $1.5 billion from the UAE & their Saudi allies. It was a breathtaking revelation of a foreign espionage case, predicated on gobsmacking financial flows—and it barely cracked the news cycle.” https://t.co/87UmFrBRpk

Now that the war cheerleading is over and the NYT has driven down Biden’s approval rating, they slip this in:
The eight generals who commanded American forces in Afghanistan between 2008 and 2018 have gone on to serve on more than 20 corporate boards, according to a review of company disclosures and other releases. @isaacstanbecker https://t.co/iyO4y1Em5y

He gave a fantastic speech yesterday on the end of the war:
Susan Glasser serious person, suggesting we go out and bomb the shit out of everyone and then occupy them, the new empire for Human Rights strategy. https://t.co/zqs1UgTpoU

Biden’s compassion for and work to note the real human costs to our soldiers is a note that many lefty pundits may minimize and Fox will try desperately to denigrate… but it’s the heart of why that speech was brilliant.

Pres Biden faced fierce criticism over the last few weeks over his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan & the way in which he did it. He is pushing back hard on that criticism & pointedly defending his choice not to continue the two-decade war w/ another generation of troops.

The foreign policy consensus loves military adventurism. The American people do not. And Joe Biden knows who he works for.
Great speech, Mr. President. https://t.co/Dhtqs1g08u

The idea that Biden somehow screwed up the Afghanistan withdrawal is, quite literally, being propped up so that the people who actually screwed the whole thing up can escape accountability. Utterly shameful that the media learned nothing from all this. https://t.co/gmVqxXLST0
