If the @nytimes lets the lying scum of the right-wing press fire its editors but protects star reporters and podcasters from the consequences of publishing one of the worst fabrications in recent memory, it’s absolutely useless to the enterprise of telling the truth. Worse than.

And for the record @wolfe321 isn’t being bullied for her anodyne tweet Biden’s plane landing, it’s because the NYT’s pet rock Ben Shapiro got his swarm of Nazi troglodytes to drag her for correctly observing that only maniacs like the guys who beshitted the Capitol own flex cuffs

For the love of god, let’s not try to pretend the last four years didn’t happen. Let’s not tell the bigots that it’s safe to come out now. Let’s actually build something athwart the people who want to tear us apart instead of acting confused when we can’t build with them. Please.

Oh and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention @ggreenwald, whose oh-so-important musings about the dignity of the press would carry more weight if they didn’t come from someone who delights in playing footsie with the American far-right from his compound in Brazil.
