Two years ago, when Axios ran a Q&A with Kellyanne Conway, I wrote about media's role in the reputation rehab business:

"Allowing one of the most visible liars of government over the last four years the ability to be seen as a serious person diminishes the work and power of journalism."

Today, the NYT gives her a whole column.

@joshsternberg alternative facts? Lies. Shouldn’t be published. Or should come with massive disclaimers. If I never had to see that hagfish face again i would live a better life.

@joshsternberg I understand that media often publishes these clickbaity slop-eds in the hopes that they will "go viral" and generate ad revenue. But what about subscriptions? Does this kind of content attract subscribers or push them away? Does NYT care?

@7sleepersmusic @joshsternberg clearly, the NYT does not care about ethics. I unsubscribed for the final time and found a wordle substitute after back-to-back anti-trans screeds and everything has only gotten worse since

@joshsternberg pretty infuriating to see platforms given to liars and others who would have their unfounded facts spread like wildfire.

@joshsternberg Back in 2020, one of our columnists wrote about the redemption economy. I'm just exhausted by it all. Conway, one of the biggest contributors the mess we're in now, given this column just makes me...sad.

The redemption economy is gearing up for the Trump orbit but we can't let any of them rewrite their villainous histories.
