I appreciate that, as a distinguished and ethical journalist, Margaret Sullivan refuses to relent in her ongoing critique of the colossal failure of US corporate media at this critical juncture in history.

@66gardeners Very timely statement, in light of what came out in the charges made yesterday by DOJ.

I searched for some of the stuff I know about, but it looks like Bremmer scrubbed the internet. -

Thanks. I have encountered the same belief system about objectivity. It's challenging to me to figure out how to meet the persons where they are.It does takes time to pay attention to the various outlets, as well as media literacy skills to recognize manipulative bias .

@mmb With this particular friend, I finally realized there was no meeting him where he is. Our value systems are simply too different. He's a tech-bro, has made scads of money in the computer business, is absolutely committed to libertarianism, and his "objectivity" is all about delegitimizing perspectives from the lef that would critique his system of values. But I stand with that left-wing critique of this person's system of valules.

@66gardeners That's always a telling thing, when they do that, isn't it?

@mmb I think of this Trumpian period as a period of real revelation and winnowing, in which we're being forced to see family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers in a totally new light. People like Nicholas Kristof want to chide us and preach at us for passing judgment on our Trumpian acquaintances — but I truly don't know any other sane way to respond except to say, "No, I don't support that path, since it's a path to no future at all for a sane and healthy society."
