I'm worried about the news. Audience fragmentation, ignorance of how propaganda works, and a public appetite for unverified information is *bad*

This is what journalistic malpractice looks like.
NYT can't ID the real story even when it's in the story.
Vance's "visit" is timed to influence Greenland's election.

One big reason Axios blows. Their context isn't good.
As Axios bullet-points its way to journalism, they throw in Dem's Trump impeachment reminder for good measure when writing about GOP retaliation using impeachments on the judiciary that doesn't bow to Trump.

Working from home is banned for all federal employees, but apparently not for Trump and Musk.
Trump is signing executive orders from Mar-a-Lago today.

I noticed that too and posted about it, comparing that NYT article today with another dullard NYT piece two weeks ago. Here:

Hey everybody, Trump is wrecking the place. I had no idea!
Thanks, NYT, for telling us this today, only nine years since Trumpism ignited the domestic cold war.
Two weeks ago you had the same clueless discussion.

Two weeks later, the NYT is still stating the obvious.

We are almost one month into Trump's democratic demolition project and the country's newspaper of record comes up with this obvious-to-everyone take?

Here they are, asking us for more money 😡
This is in my emails today. The DNC is still tone deaf. We don't want robotic campaign fundraising emails. We want clear leadership with a plan, which should have emerged by now.

This pissed me off all over again. A fundraising email today. This. This is how they are calling us to action. Give $5. Again? After a $1 billion campaign they blew? I am ignoring all DNC fundraising emails.

Yeah. Instead I got this in my email today. To fight Trump, DNC needs $5. Cut the fundraising stuff for once, DNC. Start kicking ass for real.

This DNC email hit me wrong. It's got the tone of presidential fundraising campaign emails we all hated. Dems can't read the room. I don't want donation asks every time there is a call to fight Trump. You had $1 billion. You need $5 from me. Again?

And this clever maneuver: Canada is specifically sticking it to red states on some goods. Putting pressure on the GOP where it directly matters.

Yes we are. Here's more to add to that. Pentagon today is kicking out NYT, NBC, Politico, and NPR reporters from their long-held Pentagon offices and replacing them with OANN, Breitbart, NY Post. The other outlets still have access, but lose their on-site office to RW media.

This is why I stay on twitter -- watching MAGA get roasted. This lady was ratioed to hell. Her response to the OP is ridiculous. She's in deep.

Oh that's cute. The years-long work by the lawyer who tried to save democracy from Trump gets relegated to "takeaway" coverage in the country's two biggest national newspapers. They are deliberately doing bad journalism in service to oligarchs.

Nothing like spending years of your professional life trying to seek truth and save American democracy only for the shitty Washington Post to reduce your important work to "6 takeaways."

Clarification needed for this headline.
"Hollywood" can mean two things: the film industry generally, and Hollywood the LA neighborhood.
I used to live in LA and this hed made me think the fire was in the Hollywood section of the city.
