“Even Medicare, although long and mistakenly argued over as if it were the equivalent of Britain's system of socialized medicine, is too modest. President Johnson well consider expanding Medicare to include insurance coverage for “catastrophic illnesses for persons of all ages.”

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.

Would it have been a cool twist?

Yes.

Did I think it was a bad idea knowing most people don't read to the end of the story?

Yes.

He refused to let me do it my way (the ETHICALLY CORRECT WAY), so I pulled the lie.

I did a story once that introduced a lie (it was relevant it was in the news a lot). I wanted to correct it right away - because I'd been trained if you have to introduce a falsehood correct it right away. My editor wanted to save it for the "kicker" as a big reveal

A lot of editors don't even know about media magnification. One of the shocking things - to me - when I left journalism school was how little editors knew about like the study of journalism as a discipline. It's a profession based in norms even if those norms are harmful.

You know that we've entered a freaky ass bizarro universe when PC components go up in price after they've been sitting in your desktop for years. PC parts are supposed to be a depreciating asset that loses money as soon as you take it out of the packaging. RAM has become as expensive as gold.

This is great! But please use #altText. Like many on Bluesky, I don’t reshare posts with images that don’t have alt-text. So failing to use it means a lot fewer shares.

Balcony solar power is a common practice in Europe. Implementing this technology in NYC would be a game changer. You should pass an ordinance that prohibits landlords from banning the installation of balcony solar panels.

And don’t forget, the New York State constitution’s article 1, section 19 guarantee of a “right to a healthful environment”. There’s not just an ethical duty but a legal one as well to create a healthy environment.

Wow. As a farm kid in central NJ, I remember that soy was the de facto choice for fields in the area that otherwise would lie fallow. Seems ominous.

Went to visit family over the holiday. They live in farm country and there were fields and fields of un-harvested soybeans. The farmers couldn’t sell them; I’ve never seen that before.

The whole point of calling the working class the revolutionary subject of history is that it is vast, capacious, and universal, despite its manifold variations - and yes, material inequalities - because it is that massive category of humanity that stands in a common exploited relation to capital.
