I understand but lament the choice so many thoughtful people have made to publish their newsletters on the odious Substack. Surely they recognize that they are, at least indirectly, helping some of the worst people in the world spread and monetize malignant views.

Sigh, the New York Times gives a massive amount of op-ed space to an AI founder who (surprise!) loves-loves-loves the technology.
The New York Times has done as much as any Big Journalism organization to badmouth San Francisco in recent years. Now it pretends to discover -- by quoting visitors -- that the image isn't the reality.
No doubt, the doom-loop crap will return soon.
Hungary's fascist leader, Viktor Orbán, didn't have as easy a time bringing media under his control as Trump is doing in America -- but he also didn't have a few massive technology oligarchs on his side.
Not a hint on the Washington Post's homepage that it just gutted key parts of its news staff.
The New York Times editorial board intones:
"The Trump Administration Is Lying to Our Faces. Congress Must Act."
Two thoughts:
1) They should tell the reporters and editors on the "news" side of the house.
2) The word "must" from an editorial board reflects its own institutional weakness.
Again the NY TImes cuts the regime's lie machine totally undeserved slack in its coverage of the Alex Pretti murder by Trump's thugs.
What the headline calls "rush to judgment" and story calls "distorting the facts" are standard journalistic malpractice at this point.
It's so damn tiring.
The New York Times has done more to normalize extremism than any other legacy journalism outlet in recent years. And the Times' Peter Baker has been by far the most ardent normalizer on its staff.
But now Baker -- ignoring his (and his bosses') central role -- says it's all on Trump.
Pathetic.
Here's the New York Times helping the Trump regime normalize murder -- by federal thugs against anyone they decide to kill -- on America's streets.
The modest caveats in the sub-head and story are not remotely sufficient.
Both-sides treatment of obvious murder -- journalistic malpractice.
