And the media just goes along every time, desperate to be "reasonable" by wrapping fascism in swaddling clothes. The latest example being 60 Minutes having a puff piece on Andrew Sullivan.

Brie Brie has doubled down into her right wing grifting, currently launching a podcast bankrolled by Peter Thiel. Not a surprise, but I am surprised at how some of her fellow dead end leftists are now openly disgusted with her (a Chapo loser burns her in the replies of this, which she gets very defensive about).

The New York Times seems to have lost its soul.
I'm a somewhat elderly person. When I was a young person in the 1960s, the motto of The New York Times was "All the news that's fit to print".   It still appears at the top left corner of page A1 of the print edition. But I cannot find it on their digital paper.
When I was young, I believed the motto and thought the paper had integrity.  Was I fooled? Did it ever have integrity? When did it change?

The NYT was running puff pieces on Hitler in the '30s, so I'd say they were always bad, just better at hiding it until the '90s when the mask was fully ripped off. 

Speaking of which, here they are with the same framing as other chinless wonders like Chuck Todd:

 

I was glad to see even Capitol Hill gaggle staples like Manu Raju (and say what we will about the CH kids' facile questions and addiction to the daily drama around them, some of them do work hard and all of them were endangered on 1/6) dismantling that piece.

To build on the other day re: the Weisman piece and CNN claiming a bill passed days ago is being reflected in polling weeks ago:

 

Nate Cohn approaches insight in a long thread but like so many before him, chooses to pivot to 'we can't know':

 

The fact that Cuomo still has a job really says a lot about the country and the world we all live in and it's not good.

NEW: CNN host Chris Cuomo used his sources to get info on brother Andrew Cuomo's accusers. He also engaged with sources to get a read on upcoming stories that took aim at his brother.

"I have a lead on the wedding girl," Cuomo told Melissa DeRosa. https://t.co/KNEYbGXoGu

NEW full statement from CNN on the Chris Cuomo transcripts and exhibits. The spokesman tells me the documents deserve a "thorough review and consideration." The rep notes more conversations ahead at CNN about their significance. https://t.co/RuutMBQzic pic.twitter.com/Yg81sTEK4C
