Nuzzi is not a journalist, she's a political operator who gets hired by journalistic outlets under, charitable to the outlets, false pretenses
Lizza has known this for at least a year, probably more than 5, and chose not to disclose it until now. He's just as bad

I've been so out of touch that I only just found out Nigel Latta died several weeks ago. 😔
I wish there were more people in this world like him not because I think he was perfect, only that he was always trying his best to be empathetically authentic. We need more imperfectly empathetic humans.

Interesting that we have now reached US-levels of FB gagging even minor government critics. This appears a disturbing attempt to suppress dissent by Chris Bishop - why else would FB take down this account?
I don’t recall the previous govt doing this.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Joyce Carol Oates is often tedious but time and time again she manages to deliver epic destruction just when I need to witness it. Remember, darlings, always cultivate your ruthless inner JCO. I feel inspired.

Obviously if it turns out she's a serial killer haunting the town of Cabot Cove I retract what I've said.
It's just genuinely nice to be able to like enjoy what she did without having to pretend I like who she is (I'm indifferent to her as a person)
