Absolutely worth reading this whole thread.
Replying to @ASlavitt
The SM platforms are as usual the last to address the problem. They empower those out to do harm. But those who want to reduce the toll of the pandemic should ignore, not enable these trolls & try to get back to the things we do IRL like listening & talking to each other. /end

From @Sulliview's new column on the Washington Post getting its first woman editor, Sally Buzbee, this part struck me. It's the same question I have. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

Well put
While Democrats are debating the best way to make sure Republicans can be heard in the Senate, Republicans in the states are passing legislation meant to silence Democratic voters across the country. nytimes.com/2021/03/11/opini…

How to get Joe Biden to tell us something new (because there’s a lot we don’t know) presswatchers.org/2021/03/ho… via @froomkin This is a brilliant tour de force list of questions. Well worth reading. Well worth answering. I would be happy to have the press secretary answer these.

We're closer than ever to getting the COVID-19 pandemic under control – but with new variants of the virus potentially prolonging this pandemic, we can't let up now. @BillCassidy and I are urging @CDCgov to closely watch these new strains: centralmaine.com/2021/03/09/…

I want to thank all of the Senators who worked so hard to reach a compromise and voted to pass the American Rescue Plan. It wasn’t easy — but it was so desperately needed.

Explain this to me. @CNN (which I watch+love) & @MSNBC (which I watch+ love, except Chuck Todd) regularly aired Trump/Task Force press conferences KNOWING they perpetuated lies & misinformation. But they are not airing Jen Psaki's which are filled with FACTS and CRITICAL INFO.

“Note this NYT flawed headline for an investigation into the Republican commitment to pass sweeping laws TO suppress the vote: "Stolen-Election Myth Fuels G.O.P. Push to Change Voting Laws." It's not a myth, it's a lie. Big Foot is a myth. The Loch Ness Monster is a myth”

The GOP is the counter-majoritarian party. And counter-factual, as with its claims of voter fraud, which in turn feed the Big Lie, a cause that cannot live unless honest journalism dies. The party's conflict with the press is structural. To freedom from fact it is now committed.
