Back when the market was much less competitive if journalists wanted to control “the narrative” they could generally succeed, which made them seem trustworthy and authoritative. Today’s media is better — you learn about the fuckups — so it seems worse. https://t.co/1lNmK2qK9I — PolitiTweet.org

The press of the good old days was much worse — journalists routinely colluded with government officials to cover up everything from serious national security matters to JFK’s affairs and FDR’s disability. The big difference is it worked! https://t.co/1lNmK2qK9I https://t.co/wCVWQCLBCx — PolitiTweet.org

Everybody hates the media. And everyone can find bad articles to point to that explain why they hate the media. But what explains the *change over time* is it really the case that the old media oligopolies of midcentury never messed up? My theory: https://t.co/1lNmK2qK9I — PolitiTweet.org

@_alice_evans It still seems like the underlying issue here isn’t about the apps, it’s that economically empowered modern women are less motivated to “settle.” — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@_alice_evans But wait how does this differ from the pre-app situation? If you’re approaching beautiful women at a bar or whatever aren’t the typical man’s odds of rejection also objectively high? — PolitiTweet.org

Doesn’t 3% inflation + super-low unemployment seems like it would be a fine outcome if you could get it? I’d say yes to that. — PolitiTweet.org

Interestingly, even a top police abolition scholar agrees that past reform efforts successfully improved policing. We should do more not give up. https://t.co/C6tSxx2mCI https://t.co/9FU903Oo8Y — PolitiTweet.org
