Opinion | The 2024 election was always about pardoning Honduran drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández. If Kamala Harris and the Democrats didn't understand that, shame on them.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

The MAGA cult is so far gone that they truly believe Dear Leader should be allowed to kill their own children.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

if lizza wants my subscription money he should not just burn himself and nuzzi, but every other journalist who knew about this, by name. you’ve already put on the jacket, go ahead and throw a few more charges in it.
yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

I think the only mistake here is pretending the media was snowjobbed rather than Nuzzi's star being a symptom of the media's venality and willingness to invent narratives at the most minor of excuses.
Nuzzi isn't even anything new, just perhaps one of the most shameless about it.

Sure, Nuzzi isn’t all journalists. Sure, Larry Summers isn’t all academics. Sure, Musk isn’t all CEOs. And also, if you don’t think their prominence & behavior tells us something about those professions & our National Conversation™️ in this authoritarian era, I don’t really know what to tell you.
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Just want to reiterate: Lizza and Nuzzi's ethical lapses are not representative of the DC press corps, which includes a ton of tireless public interest reporters who actually care about holding powerful people accountable, including at trade pubs.
They deserve better owners and a better industry.
