NEW. — Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign has reported receiving donations from JUST 30 employees at the world’s top 20 investment banks. Some of those donors told @GideonResnick why they gave https://t.co/UUa1H5SYuw — PolitiTweet.org

ThinkProgress’ death is not a story of a site getting crushed by changing algorithms (as CAP has stressed)—though that played a role. It is a story of major Dem donors, institutions and foundations being unwilling to support progressive journalism https://t.co/9iyq7tt3ve — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

NEW — The death of ThinkProgress has been publicly blamed on catering ad revenues. But private budget docs obtained by The Daily Beast show that a drop in donor support played a more critical role. https://t.co/9iyq7tt3ve With @GideonResnick — PolitiTweet.org

On the same day Trump revokes a waiver for California to set higher auto emissions standards he cites environmental concerns as an excuse to go after the homeless population in one of the state’s major cities. — PolitiTweet.org

@soledadobrien I hear your point. I don’t think it is universal. I DO think that booking Lewandowski the day after he says he lies to the media doesn’t help. — PolitiTweet.org

Final point: let’s have some more collective dignity as an industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

The problem, to me, is that the public thinks we are willing to drop standards in search of ratings; that sensationalism is more important than factuality. The decision to put Lewandowski on TV the day after he admits to lying to the media only reinforces that perception. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

I’m not discounting that inclination but I think it’s inherently wrong (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

There is an inclination to believe that the media industry suffers from a lack of trust because we are perceived as "unfair" and that the way to build that trust is to show "fairness." That, in turns, compels the booking of people like Lewandowski. We need to show ALL sides. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

It wasn't even 24 hrs ago that he admitted he lies to the media and, even worse, feels no obligation to tell us the truth. We are in truth business. To book an admitted liar runs contrary to that mission. And the impact of doing so, i fear, is more profound than appreciated (2/?) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

I'll probably regret tweeting all this because i don't actually know the motivations, reasoning and process behind the booking. Still, Lewandowski's appearance on CNN this morning left me feeling intense despair.  (1/?) https://t.co/uc2tQBkX8b — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not ironclad but you’d have to imagine that if you could be in the position of one candidate right now, you’d want to be in Warren’s position. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the rare case when lawmakers asking more direct questions doesn’t actually make sense. If I were them, I’d just let Lewandowski sit there while I read portions of the Mueller report about him and say: “any thoughts?" — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Lewandowski is not the embarrassment here. His schtick is to be expected. It is Rep. Collins who seems perfectly fine letting him give the proverbial bird to the committee on which he’s the ranking member. — PolitiTweet.org
