If you're not for "both sides do it" journalism and you're weary of "symmetrical treatment of asymmetrical facts," what's the alternative?

One answer is point-of-view journalism plus a very high standard of verification, as @gregsargent.bsky.social demonstrates here.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Not that it's not appalling enough, but this is an official US Government post, paid for by our federal tax dollars.

On the CBS townhall — where Erika Kirk was given a chance to “open up on faith, grief, [and} political violence — she was asked: “Will you condemn the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth?”

She would not.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

Take 45 seconds today to say "No way." nationalfairhousingalliance.salsalabs.org/ecoaregb/ind...
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released by the CFPB would eviscerate longstanding fair lending and consumer protections in three dangerous ways:

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
