A really fascinating story by my colleagues ⁦@luisferre⁩ ⁦@vwang3⁩ & ⁦@jessemckinley⁩ — about new rent laws in Albany, but really about the collapse of an entire Albany mode of triangulation and deflection. https://t.co/Ao3ZcapGAJ — PolitiTweet.org

Vanity Fair is widely read in Davenport but I don’t know anyone in New York or Greenwich who reads it. — PolitiTweet.org

Very confused. The media bashed O’Rourke because he didn’t do their dog and pony show like when he chose launch his campaign on the cover of Vanity Fair? — PolitiTweet.org

@timcarvell I think that’s definitely true. I was thinking about the paradox that journalism is better than ever but many people seem to think it’s worse than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Confessore @nickconfessore

@beyerstein For sure. But on their own, MSM outlets realized they couldn't compete for readers much longer w/commodity news, and places like the NYT began recruiting more people with analytical, policy, and narrative journalism backgrounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Confessore @nickconfessore

@beyerstein As a former member and reader of the blogosphere who was then swallowed by the MSM borg, I think this way overstates the influence of blogger hectoring on these changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Confessore @nickconfessore

@sivavaid Yes, exactly. I see this a lot with climate change -- you'll often see a lot of banging on MSM outlets for not covering it enough, but the issue there isn't journalistic/informational, it's political/institutional. — PolitiTweet.org

Thesis: when people say “the media needs to cover Topic A more,” sometimes what they really mean is “I wish more people and decisionmakers would adopt my policy priorities.” https://t.co/wmIMV2MSJa — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, the machinery for interrogating, disputing, and complaining about mainstream journalism is way stronger, and more developed, and just plain louder than twenty years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Confessore @nickconfessore

Unpopular opinion, inspired by archival/clips research: Mainstream political and policy journalism today is way more substantive and more assertive about factuality than it was twenty years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Confessore @nickconfessore

@HelenKennedy @gabrielsnyder My sense is that the access (for lack of a better word) afforded in-house public editors depended on their own reporting skills and credibility, not in-house deference. (They may disagree.) Some were very good and some were not. And in the end they spoke for themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Confessore @nickconfessore

@gabrielsnyder @HelenKennedy Helen’s is the outside CW of the Public Editor but it is basically incorrect and always was. The Public Editor was in practice a full-time, one-outlet media critic/reporter who happened to be on that same outlet’s payroll. I.e., same job Gabe has now, only on CJR’s dime. — PolitiTweet.org

You only get a congressional pay raise — for which there are strong principled arguments — if each party agrees not to make it a campaign issue. Per @politico, it appears Dems had such an agreement with Rep leadership and then... https://t.co/ljbVuEUAH9 — PolitiTweet.org
