(PS) In any case, if I were the New York Times I would amend the *subheadline* here, given that it is factually inaccurate by a pretty wide margin. https://t.co/0QIwdH9OG0 — PolitiTweet.org

@billyonthe As my tweet noted, I’m referring to the headline and subheadline that she allowed to have appended to her work. My practice is to let my editors know if they have created a headline or subheadline that is factually inaccurate, but she may have a different practice. — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, I published this article at PROOF in January... of 2021. I realize that Maggie Haberman being way behind almost every other reporter on January 6th is kind of old news at this point, but I thought I would repost this anyway (🔓; free to the public). https://t.co/DPeLOsoMxc — PolitiTweet.org

I apologize to the many women I’ve no doubt left out. Some had roles that remain unclear. For instance, Kelly SoRelle, the Oath Keepers’ lawyer, was at the Insurrection Eve parking-garage Proud Boys-Oath Keepers summit. Bianca Gracia and Amanda Chase also deserve a mention here. — PolitiTweet.org

Ginni Thomas, Cleta Mitchell...the list goes on. So it seems odd that the NYT is counterfactually suggesting the coup-plotter class was almost all male. What perhaps they meant to say is that the *soldier* class—Watkins, Babbitt, and a few others aside—was overwhelmingly male. — PolitiTweet.org

Powell, Ellis, Toensing, Bobb, Wren, Mulvaney, Guilfoyle, Fancelli, Chafian, Fletcher, A. Kremer, K. Kremer, Ryan, Rogers, J. Miller, Greene, Boebert, Blackburn, Ward, Watkins, many fake electors—anyone who researches the January 6 coup attempt knows how many women were involved. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I don’t disagree with what Haberman is saying about the Trumpists’ misogynistic (and, I’d add, increasingly racist) response to the January 6 hearings, and I know she doesn’t write the heads/subheads, but the coup-plotter class was about 25% to 35% women. https://t.co/kNzcfWWOIb — PolitiTweet.org

THE NEW YORK POST: “Donald Trump is unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.” So sayeth the rag of Rupert Murdoch—one of the many billionaires who controls the Republican Party, even as that party falsely projects upon the Democrats shadowy control by the ultra-rich. — PolitiTweet.org

@Arjayluke I reject every part of your tweet as false and a mischaracterization of what I’ve said here and the M.O. evidence previously provided in volume about how Trump’s circle operates. Your tone as well as your deceit here makes clear that you are trolling. Strikes 1 and 2—be warned. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS) “Orange Mafia” is a reference to the domestic terrorists of Stop the Steal and the Proud Boys, who wore orange gear as they participated in a seditious conspiracy that attempted to overthrow our democracy. The woman speaking is the head of the Republican Party in Arizona. — PolitiTweet.org

I say this mindful, as a Trump historian, that the man has a decades-long history of ensuring that any person who could hurt him is represented by a lawyer he approved of beforehand and/or is paying for, usually as part of a fraudulent, unethical, farcical joint-defense agreement — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D) of the House January 6 Committee was just fascinatingly coy on CNN about whether the HJ6C has evidence that Trump is directly or indirectly paying for the private attorneys just retained by ex-Trump Secret Service agents, including Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel — PolitiTweet.org

@rosemary918 @mike5million Yes, and I know this will sound spectacularly naive but there were moments here and there when I actually thought Santorum would grow as a person and seemed distantly capable of reasonable thought, and then I realized I was just a stupid idealist too old by far to be so blinkered — PolitiTweet.org

@robertblowe I was actually thinking of her when I wrote this, which is why I used the word “infinitesimally” On occasion I see Alice making the slightest imaginable effort to break away from her cultist orthodoxies — PolitiTweet.org

That said, as a broad matter corporate media has endemic weaknesses it does shockingly little to ameliorate. Before America entered our current period of national crisis, it was easier to just eye-roll at the blindspots of cable news. Then, suddenly, correcting them felt urgent. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

While candidly I was treated in a pretty shabby way by CNN, I have remained a fan of the operation writ large and almost always criticize it the way actual patriots criticize their country: because I have a perhaps naive (even Quixotic) belief that it really can do—and be—better. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I also feel—though the progress on this has been far slower—that there’s been an effort at CNN to bring in infinitesimally more responsible conservative voices than was the case years ago. Remember the Kayleigh McEnany/Jeff Lord days? I sure do—and hopefully they’re gone forever. — PolitiTweet.org

I feel like, for many years there, there were way too many establishment white guys issuing groan-worthy platitudes about politics and conventional wisdom. Now, on average, we get smarter and more perceptive news analysts who say things worth saying. Slow progress, but progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I often slag off on major media, so I want to be even-handed and compliment a network when it does well. The median @CNN panel today is much better—and not coincidentally, more diverse—than it was in 2015. Watching Tia Mitchell and Kirsten Powers right now and really enjoying it. — PolitiTweet.org
