  1. @marisakabas hits it out of the park today. I was reading a 1931 New Yorker yesterday and was struck by how common the now-so-antiquated notion that elected officials should be #honorable used to be. Marisa explores the change through the lens of journalism—the fawning #OliviaNuzzi piece in the #NYT, which turns out to have been written by the son of #CarlBernstein and #NoraEphron.

  2. By the end of the meeting…, it appeared to Shipley & Lewis that #Bezos had reservations about The #WashingtonPost endorsing either candidate….But they thought he was open to persuasion.

    Bezos’ ultimate decision, to end #WaPo’s decades-long practice of endorsing presidential candidates, exploded into public view on Friday, drawing criticism from #reporters, #editors & #readers, along w/an unusual rebuke from the legendary Post journalists #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein.

  4. “Under Jeff #Bezos's ownership, the #WashingtonPost's news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger & damage a second #Trump presidency could cause to the future of American #democracy & that makes this decision even more surprising & disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process."

  5. from #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein:

    “We respect the traditional independence of the #editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential #election ignores the #WashingtonPost's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald #Trump poses to #democracy.

  6. Hey #CarlBernstein, you know what isn't passing? You know what's endemic?
    Donald Trump is a convicted felon who paid off the porn star he date-raped days after his wife gave birth to his kid. He is a racist. He babbles about sharks, boat batteries and electric planes that can't fly when the sun shines. He raped another woman in a department store. He can't run a business in his home state after being found guilty of massive business fraud. He wants to fuck his daughter. He's an Adderall addict.
