I can probably figure out the last time a reporter called me up trying to understand a story as opposed to trying to get grist for a gotcha piece. But it seems like years ago. So what happened? Many democrats tried to go back to @NPR etc., but found a door slammed in their face. — PolitiTweet.org

Reporters started warning me: “We’re hiring kids who don’t believe in objective factual reporting.” “We’re being pushed to be on Twitter.” “Editors aren’t letting our best stories through as much.” “I can’t use you any more if you aren’t going to play ball. It sucks. Sorry.” — PolitiTweet.org

Eventually we took the hint. Journalism at prestige legacy media properties was changing. News desks were dropping stories entirely that didn’t fit house narratives. They weren’t forced to report them and spin them. They would just spike a story that previously would be a scoop. — PolitiTweet.org
