A lot happened this year, and surviving was the prime directive. But publishing this book is something I’m very proud of and I know it has already made people feel less alone.

Oh I think she has a fair idea and DGAF
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

For @rollingstone.com, I wrote about the making of the myth of sheriff Buford Pusser, and how recent revelations that he was likely responsible for the 1967 murder of his wife, Pauline, undercuts that myth -- and begs for a new narrative about intimate partner violence and family trauma.
He Was a Legendary Sheriff Who Inspired a Movie. Did He Also Murder His Wife?
When Buford Pusser’s wife was killed, his grief turned into the movie ‘Walking Tall.’ But a new report from investigators suggests it was all a lie.

One of the things with how localized journalism used to be is that great stories like Wilson’s exposing frauds and hucksters often didn’t make it to the national stage, and the hucksters kept going anyway.
I also could not have written the piece without talking to Cammy Wilson, a young Mississippi journalist in the Midwest who wrote the truth back in 1973, which Pusser was none too happy about. When I traveled to McNairy County, it was her footsteps I tried best to follow.
