Read this item from today's Politico. It describes how false equivalency and both-sides-ing is not just a lazy habit in journalism, but a tool of politics that builds the bad journalism into party behavior, thus making a mockery of the images of detachment on which the press sells itself.

Jill Lepore's piece in The New Yorker is the best take on Isaacson's Musk book, so of course I somehow hadn't shared it yet. Totally nails Isaacson's enabling, the glossing over of Musk's background, the excusing of cruelty and ruthlessness as somehow necessary to innovation or leadership.

Some people will tell you it's "too radical" or "too extreme" to say capitalism relies on hurting workers.
But what about when a millionaire CEO says it?
That's exactly what Tim Gurner said when he advocated for more unemployment and more economic pain.
