Horrible take which shows no compassion, empathy or awareness of the effects of trauma on the human brain.
Megyn Kelly attacks victim of Cornell gang rape: "If you were violently gang raped repeatedly over the course of an evening, do you think it would take you three weeks to call campus police?... The delay, the chatting with the friends, and the decision to go to campus police says a lot to me."

Yesterday, a combined 23 guild journalists from the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and Bradenton Herald were laid off by McClatchy. We have launched a GoFundMe to help our colleagues, whose livelihoods and families have been upended by this decision. gofund.me/85e427c56

To the @MiamiHerald journalists laid off this week: I’m so sorry and so pissed off for you. If you’ve got a Miami story in your pocket that deserves to be told, I need freelancers at Miami New Times and I’d love to pay you to tell it. And if you just need some assignments to help keep you afloat in the coming weeks, my DMs are open. Let’s talk. [email protected]

"Creating news deserts is a net-positive long-term investment b/c without investigative, damning coverage of businesses, hedge funds will make money off their assets." Democracy dies in darkness.
People ask "But don't the hedge funds want the media to produce the kind of content that makes money?" I've advised hedge funds on the intersection of business, politics, and journalism and let me tell you, no the hedge funds don't want that. Creating news deserts is a net-positive long-term investment b/c without investigative, damning coverage of businesses, hedge funds will make money off their assets. If you are a hedge fund, it's less expensive to just buy a newspaper and starve it than fight a multi-year public relations battle over some of your controversial assets.

returning briefly to the twitterverse to say hello, and that my entire team was eliminated in the @mcclatchy @MiamiHerald layoffs this morning more words later, but it's been an adventure and I'm sending all the love to my colleagues today ❤️
