This is technically true, of course. And we know #K9ForHeisman is magical enough to give us a chance even when the rest of the squad struggles. But when you’re 129th out of 130 in pass defense and your playoff hopes hinge on beating OSU….well, time to start thinking Rose Bowl. — PolitiTweet.org

Love Tuck. Love where the program is going. But this loss is on him and the staff. Same mistakes they’ve been making (and barely escaping) all year. Have to prepare better. No excuses. — PolitiTweet.org

Beware tonight’s takes. Lot of people—right & left—trying to sell you a sweeping conclusion because it benefits them. Analyze the data. Place it in appropriate historical and fundamental context. Challenge your own assumptions about what it means, even if most partisans won’t. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve made it to Thursday of Michigan State vs. Michigan week without yet disparaging the underachieving program in Ann Arbor, its delusional fan base, or its clownish head coach. A sign of personal growth. Btw did you know Michigan hasn’t won the Big Ten since 2004?!? #GoGreen — PolitiTweet.org

Good for NBC. Wish every major national outlet would follow suit. If we diverted half our polling budgets to embedding curious reporters in these communities year-round, it'd make for a healthier institution, better-informed citizenry, *and* more accurate electoral handicapping. — PolitiTweet.org

I've spent a lot of time living in the #onepride past, agonizing over bad coaching and game-changing calls and missed windows for Matt & Megatron to win big. Today I'm dwelling on the future—namely, how we've finally found the right coach to lead this team out of the wilderness. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevemorris__ It’s all worthy. Everyone is fair game. (Fox blacklisted me years ago; maybe I’ve ripped them so often it’s begun to feel redundant.) — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

This week alone we had Couric showing herself (again) to be a hack; Schefter emailing a source, “Mr. Editor,” his unpublished story for approval; and Gupta exposing CNN’s petty, needless deception. People despise us. They distrust us. Maybe we stop whistling past the graveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

p.s. don’t come with the #bothsides false-equivalence stuff. CNN purports to be a world leader in serious, fact-oriented journalism. We should hold them to a *higher* standard than a comedian-turned-podcaster. Mistakes happen. Call them out. Correct them. Be accountable. /end — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Rogan is reckless: platforming Alex Jones, broadcasting junk science during a pandemic, etc. But cable news can be just as reckless. In this case CNN repeatedly—and gleefully—misled the public. You’re worried about the media’s credibility? Good. Then call bullshit on them both. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

This is why our high school has such a lousy reputation. Because the standards are inconsistent; the code of conduct is selectively applied. Fairness and credibility and truth—the values our student body claims to exemplify—are sacrificed on the altar of favor and popularity. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Most of us are too concerned with our social status to defend the stoner or confront the rich kid. So we walk away. Which is shameful. Because if it was Fox News—the loud, insecure, race-baiting jock—doing this sort of lying and bullying, we wouldn’t hesitate to call him out. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

When the rich kid bullies the stoner, some of us feel paralyzed. The stoner has been really irresponsible, doing little to earn the benefit of the doubt. But in this case, he’s clearly being wronged. Do we stand up to the rich kid? Or do we pretend we saw nothing and walk away? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

CNN is the pompous rich kid who lives in a bubble. He gets high, too, but rarely faces the kind of accountability he preaches for the stoner. That drives some of us crazy—but we tend not to say anything, because you’d rather stay on his good side. Plus, he throws awesome parties. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Rogan is the stoner who does wild stuff, breaks all the rules with with few consequences, and hangs out with shady characters (and some straight-up criminals). Therefore most of us don’t want to be associated with him, even though a bunch of us secretly love to get high with him. — PolitiTweet.org
