On the one hand, I've spent all day writing a single paragraph. On the other hand, it's an important paragraph! On the other hand, the paragraph still isn't working. — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the most influential figures on the right (most of them personally vaccinated) decided to promote anti-vax arguments and conspiracy theories in the middle of a pandemic for no reason other than power and profit. There's really no getting around how this happened. — PolitiTweet.org

@esaagar But it also just may be unavoidable that even the most professional/fair/virtuous approach to reporting will sometimes make "normal everyday people" uncomfortable. And that's OK! (See this, for example: https://t.co/OLAQENdPnO) — PolitiTweet.org

@esaagar Setting aside this particular case, I do think we're going to have to make peace at some point with the reality that the values of journalism, even in their most idealistic form, will not always be widely held among non-journalists. Reporters shouldn't be smug about that (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

This may not be the key takeaway but I'm sort of pleasantly surprised by how high the "satisfied with personal life" numbers have been over the years. America: a nation of people who respond "can't complain" when you ask they're doing. — PolitiTweet.org

I should amend that to "aggressive local reporting," because even sites that *have* continued in the spirit of the alt-weekly are nationally oriented. They're not running deeply sourced 4,000-word takedowns of city council members. — PolitiTweet.org

I think there was a sort of vague idea in media circles a decade ago that "the internet," with its irreverence/humor/skepticism of authority, would naturally replace dying alt-weeklies. But what was actually lost was the pairing of that sensibility *with aggressive reporting* — PolitiTweet.org

@LeviABx Yeah, I get it. I just think it's more likely that this is a sign that support for mask mandates is collapsing. But I guess we'll see in the coming weeks! — PolitiTweet.org

I get being mad about the maskless celebrities at the Super Bowl, but if you're someone who wants to see mask mandates lifted this is probably just more evidence that the dam is breaking, right? https://t.co/B5Z5GlVKjc — PolitiTweet.org

I periodically go on Canadian news programs to talk about U.S. politics and every time I think, "I wonder if these people ever get tired of hearing about the American culture wars" and now as we enter week 97 of Canadian trucker coverage I... know the answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Setting aside the specifics of the Rogan case, this reminds me of the debate over auto-deleting tweets, which is really (at least in part) an argument about whether any media should be allowed to be ephemeral. (I've been auto-deleting tweets for years so you know where I stand!) — PolitiTweet.org
