I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.

@markjacob.bsky.social shows us how MSM reports the latest outrageous thing Trump does,then moves on to the next one a day or two later—but do not assess what such stories mean together. Where are stories like “Trump Is Building A Dictatorship”? Because he IS.

The president doesn’t have a constitutional right to impose a tariff because he doesn’t like a foreign country’s TV ad. I know this doesn’t matter to the dictator in the White House, but I thought I’d point it out in case we ever start following the Constitution again.

The New York Times’ cynicism is intolerable. After Trump began demolishing part of the East Wing for his ballroom project, NYT noted that Trump said in July it “won’t interfere with the current building.” Instead of casting that as a lie, NYT softens it by saying his promise “seemed unrealistic.”

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

$20 billion for a trump fan. But we are stripping our own people of health care, food stamps and cancer research.
The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
