John PanzerMy hot take: It’s actually good to normalize indicting people who really seem to have committed crimes and who are likely to continue doing so.
Andrew "Harris/? 2024" Glisson@jpanzer Grant was arrested for speeding while he was President. I think that's awesome.
@aglisson Please tell the NYT this, they seem to be clutching their pearls so tightly right now and maybe this will help them relax a bit
@jpanzer IMO the NYT's biggest problem (and it has many) is the giant stick being clenched tightly by their butthole.
It's the pearl clutching. The tone policing. The feints toward bogus "objectivity". Headlines and leading paragraphs that distort information because accuracy would be "unseemly".
It's the idea that they are THEE NYT and they will decide for you what is and isn't in the bounds of propriety and how we can talk about news, thank you very much.
@jpanzer "All the news that's FIT to print" is a terrible ethos for a news org. It underscores the idea that they should be your gatekeeper to the world.
A better news ethos is "We're going to do our best to give you the most accurate understanding of what's happening today that we can." Not an easy task, but one much more worthy of effort than "We're going to tell you how to think about the news."
