And her response ignored what he said and went straight to whether there should be a legal definition of domestic terrorism, which is beside the point. https://t.co/HTdzP2NMow

Another morsel saved for the book
Former Pentagon chief Esper says Trump wanted to shoot protesters. Esper said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the WH following death of George Floyd, Trump said: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?" https://t.co/30WvbL8nBz

Journalists should feel free to troll Manchin at this point: "Senator, is there something holding you back from writing legislative language you'll vote on? Did you run out of pens? Is Adobe crashing on you?" https://t.co/o5QC9225kp

I wonder how that happens
Part of the answer is because the media has led them to believe lies: https://t.co/Gdh3aEqk4I 2/3

Tucker paint-by-numbers
The multimillionaire who has his own TV studio says what?
On Carlsonâs show, he pits the âruling classâ (what he often refers to as âtheyâ) against âyou,â his viewers, who are part of a Fox News audience that is 92 percent white and overwhelmingly older, according to Nielsen data. âTheyâ threaten everything âyouâ believe in. pic.twitter.com/bCmRC0Huj2

According to Carlson, âtheyâ include Democratic (and some Republican) officials, members of the media, Big Tech executives, academics, sports and Hollywood stars, and others. âThey,â he says, donât care about âyou,â âyour childrenâ or âyour grandchildren.â https://t.co/4Q0dQygM6N pic.twitter.com/fpXaGAFgr4

Carlson referred to this âruling classâ in more than 800 of his 1,150 episodes from the beginning of his show in November 2016 through 2021, the extent of our analysis. From 2020 on, he pushed this theory in nearly every episode. https://t.co/4Q0dQygM6N pic.twitter.com/PE8ZZOmtLs

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss! I don’t know why anyone’s surprised. These insular “meritocracies” generally promote from the same template. You get the occasional black swan (like Pope Francis, who was supposed to be a pleasant, transitional pope), but like almost always produces like.
"Weâre in a toxic environment where attacks on the New York Times are seen as a way to get traction on social media," scoffs Joe Kahn, the NYT's next editor. Great attitude.https://t.co/slrwl3AGSn
