Work honors the nobility of pursuing the truth. Ali is a Twitter thug who has exposed the Acela corridor national media, at least his “friends’” as naive dupes. The problem with that is those people are supposed to be our society’s fearless knights who pursue truth — PolitiTweet.org

terrified of him today. On what planet is it ok to annihilate people’s livelihoods on the basis of stories that have 34 anonymous sources from someone like this guy. I am in awe of your achievements. The answer to the question you asked is simple. You are a journalist and your — PolitiTweet.org

reporter in America should be calling @HuffPost and @NYMag tomorrow at the crack of dawn to inquire if this bullies journalistic license to kill has been repealed. The Catfish character assassin isn’t a journalist, he’s an internet thug and I’ve received 20 calls from people — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Let me help. Are you a journalist? If you are, he is not. If he is a journalist, then you are not. Was Father Coughlin a journalist? What about Hannity and Ingraham? Is there even such a thing as journalism in 2021? There is. This catfish is an internet bully and every media — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Completely agree. The disturbing part isn’t him per se, though he is a sociopathic bully. The disturbing part is the reaction to him — PolitiTweet.org

Every journalist of good faith in this country should be horrified by this story. If America’s good journalists have no reaction to this and no outrage then it’s game over for American democracy. Every institution can’t fail at the same time without the result being death — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Well that and the obliteration of any sense of journalistic ethic around an internet bully who could accurately be described as the Catfish assassin. I’ve worked with Journalists for 30 years, which means I’ve met the gambit from great and inspiring to self serving and corrupt — PolitiTweet.org

and celebration by the media elite serves to prove that Trump and his legal assault on the free press isn’t the only threat to the 1st amendment. All I can say is wow! — PolitiTweet.org

Journalism is Cronkite, Brokaw and Jennings. Journalism is @wolfblitzer, Bernard Shaw and @carolelee . Journalism is Scotty Reston and @maevereston. Journalism is Ernie Pyle and Daniel Pearl. Journalism is essential to democracy. The cancer of @yashar, his bullying, grift — PolitiTweet.org

beclowning? Journalism is @mikebarnicle and Joe Galloway on a Vietnam battlefield. Journalism is @RichardEngel, David Bloom and @clarissaward. Journalism is the local reporters in Flynt Michigan and @DanaBashCNN. Journalism is @AshleyRParker @costareports @_RoxanneRoberts. — PolitiTweet.org

I have no doubt that @jaketapper, Murrow’s heir in our wretched era of misinformation will speak to this and define some baseline of journalistic ethics. I am praying he doesn’t have Saas-itIs. Rick, do you think the A list reporters in that story have any idea about their — PolitiTweet.org

Ok. I left DC in 06 and never heard of this. I’m amazed by that. The movie is such an elegant indictment of something that I can’t quite articulate — PolitiTweet.org

@SethAbramovitch Curious, what’s your reaction to this? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Jason Miller is completely unemployable outside the dystopian Trump lie- a -sphere. It’s entirely possible that he had been dispatched to start the prep for Trump’s 2024 campaign. It’s not a real company. — PolitiTweet.org

@Twitter’s Catfish Character Assassin @yashar. Sometimes exploring the past helps us navigate towards a brighter future. One of the ways we can visit the past is by sitting back and watching a movie. Mr. Jones is a very good movie that teaches some important lessons. — PolitiTweet.org

Dignity. The soldier carries a rifle and the journalist a pen. Both are sentinels of a free society. But what is a journalist? We have a crisis in American journalism and all the evidence that will ever be needed to prove it is the deeply brilliant @LAmag profile of — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Free societies depend on the Truth as a foundation for justice that anchors a healthy civil society. The lie is a cancer in a free society and behind it can almost always be found a sinister lust for power that acts in the name of self interest and has no attachment to human — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The truth is under assault all over the world and Trump isn’t the only assassin. There is no incompatibility between patriotism and journalism. The Patriot loves the truth and fights for it. American society and our 244 year old Republic depend on the truth for survival. All — PolitiTweet.org

And more importantly the bundles of lies that flank it. Mr.Jones tells in part, the story of Walter Duranty. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning NYT reporter who functioned as a stenographer for Stalin and lied to the world about mass murder in the Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

One of my very favorite podcasts is @gaslitnation with @sarahkendzior and @AndreaChalupa. They have been warning the country about the collapse of American democracy for a very long time. Chalupa wrote a wonderful movie called Mr. Jones. It tells the story of the big lie — PolitiTweet.org

This is a great piece of writing. I left the Board of the Lincoln Project and took a few months off. I’m back at it and will write some more about that very soon. 👇must read — PolitiTweet.org

Hopefully a bit easier to read. Again, I’m simply blown away by this story and it’s deeper meaning. It speaks volumes about the state of our national character. Disturbing doesn’t describe it. Trump and the GQP aren’t the only cancers in our land snuffing out American democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

This is the singularly most insightful piece of journalism I have read in years with regard to the collapse of the truth, ethics, reality, decency and any concept of the public good that is killing our society and democracy. Wow! I’m begging people to read and reflect on this 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

The journalist who wrote this doesn’t live in Washington or New York. Maybe in this instance that’s a great reason to pay close attention to the message he is delivering. @mikebarnicle @JoeNBC @NicolleDWallace @chucktodd @WillieGeist @SavannahGuthrie @brikeilarcnn @brianstelter — PolitiTweet.org
