He’s a scumbag who shouldn’t be allowed to save his career, but the same can be said about Nuzzi. Even if everything Lizza says is a lie the fact that she got a job at VF when she should be out of the profession is shocking.

True that‘s not verbatim what you said and if you want to pretend that there’s no such thing as inference we can do that too.

Can you tell me specifically what makes him evil?

Does Israel’s genocide in Gaza mean all Jews are fair game or just that Jews aren’t allowed to discuss someone trying to murder them?

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I think the only mistake here is pretending the media was snowjobbed rather than Nuzzi's star being a symptom of the media's venality and willingness to invent narratives at the most minor of excuses.

Nuzzi isn't even anything new, just perhaps one of the most shameless about it.

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

And let’s be clear, Ryan Lizza is the one who got thrown out of the club, Olivia Nuzzi is the one still very much in the club while Lizza is flogging poorly named substack.
