“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

June 10, 2013: Politico: Edward Snowden's cautious approach to Post reporter Barton Gellman
Edward Snowden used the code name "Verax," truth-teller in Latin, as he made his cautious approach to Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman about disclosing some dramatic state secrets on intelligence gathering. |
When Snowden was asked about national security concerns, he responded: We managed to survive greater threats in our history ... than a few disorganized terrorist groups and rogue states without resorting to these sorts of programs,” he wrote. “It is not that I do not value intelligence, but that I oppose ... omniscient, automatic, mass surveillance .... That seems to me a greater threat to the institutions of free society than missed intelligence reports, and unworthy of the costs.” |
Sept 11, 2001: Gellman wrote an eyewitness account from the scene of the World Trade Center.

Jan 31, 2023: Fox News: Liberal Columbia Journalism Review offers scathing indictment of New York Times' Russiagate coverage
"Baquet, speaking to his colleagues in a town hall meeting soon after the testimony concluded, acknowledged the Times had been caught ‘a little tiny bit flat-footed’ by the outcome of Mueller’s investigation," wrote Jeff Gerth, the investigative reporter who authored the lengthy CJR retrospective.
"That would prove to be more than an understatement," Gerth continued. "But neither Baquet nor his successor, nor any of the paper’s reporters, would offer anything like a postmortem of the paper’s Trump-Russia saga, unlike the examination the Times did of its coverage before the Iraq War."

Dec 27, 2022: Washington Post: Opinion: Newspapers are disappearing where democracy needs them most
Every couple of weeks you can read about another newspaper shutting its doors, or moving from daily to weekly, or hollowing out its newsroom until it’s little more than a skeleton staff bulked up with j-school students. Study the maps made by Penny Abernathy, visiting professor at Northwestern University and an expert on dwindling sources of news, and you can see the dead zones — the 200 or so counties with no local paper. About 1,600 other counties have only one. |

More details are emerging surrounding the shocking death of up-and-coming ABC News producer Dax Tejera, who died in December at age 37.
ABC News president Kim Godwin previously wrote in a memo to staff that the "This Week" executive producer had "passed away suddenly of a heart attack," leaving behind his wife and two young children.
However, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday that Tejera actually "choked on food due to being intoxicated" according to the New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner. "The official cause of death was given as: ‘Asphyxia due to obstruction of airway by food bolus complicating acute alcohol intoxication,’" the Daily Mail wrote. --Joseph A.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Fox News tweeted host Laura Ingraham's thoughts on Joe Biden and Mitch McConnel’s “capability of working full time.” The tweet read, “'OBVIOUS SYMPTOMS': @IngrahamAngle says Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell are "no longer capable of working full time," argues America has big problems in both parties.” Fox News also attached a quoted image of Ingraham’s statement that reads, “This is always a tough situation in any family, but in this case- with the authority and power that they have- I have no words for their wives and families who keep pushing them out there.” After Fox News shared Laura Ingraham’s insights, the internet lashed out at her and demanded facts. One person wrote, “How does she know their wives and families are “pushing them”?

Liberal Washington Post movie critic Ann Hornaday is a you-had-me-at-Hello date when it comes to “climate change” documentaries. The latest is called Merchants of Doubt, comparing global-warming denial to denying cigarettes are bad for you.
Merchants of Doubt, a documentary by Robert Kenner, takes up where the 2006 global warming tutorial An Inconvenient Truth left off, probing the dubious annals of climate-change denial and the unholy alliance between corporations, partisan politics, pseudo-science and marketing that has given it traction despite clear scientific evidence and consensus. --Tim Graham; WashPost Film Critic Applauds Film Charging Climate Deniers Just Like Tobacco Lobbyists 3.13.15

The weight of Clinton scandals never seem to reach a critical mass, and never leads to a journalistic assessment they're dishonest, not trustworthy, and shun any attempt to hold them accountable. Instead, every scandal vanishes, and the pores hails them for their "almost otherworldly resilience." As if the tone of the press didn't help. The Clintons are treated like a "royal family." We have press quotes to prove it. The mere fact that she can announce for president without having to submit to any interviews demonstrates her royal stature in their eyes. --Tim Graham; NewsBusters; 4.19.15

"It's better than 2016, it's greater movement and momentum than 2020, you can see the Emberson poll, which is very credible, has him up 5 points nationally over sleepy Joe Biden when including a third-party candidate like [Cornel] West. Not only is he holding the base, but he's growing the movement, which is very important because I'd love to see him get 15 million additional votes than he got last time."

Jan 7, 2014: Daily Caller: Is Rare really just a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
“I left because I didn’t like the direction Rare was headed or the disrespectful way staff was treated,” said Anneke Green, Rare‘s former opinion editor who quit in August. “We have enough conservative outlets — we don’t need to support a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And at the end of the day, instead of appealing to actual conservatives, it seemed the Cox people were more interested in Rare redefining conservatism to what they want it to be than reporting on what it is.

April 17, 2023: NBC News: Fired Fox News producer says she found more evidence relevant to Dominion case
Grossberg, in the new affidavit, said a forensic expert recently pulled two recordings off the broken phone that she recorded using an app called Otter, which simultaneously records and creates text transcriptions of audio files. The recordings, which she details in the affidavit and audio of which was shared with NBC News, are of phone interviews she participated in with Bartiromo: one with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and another with two sources who claimed to know about Dominion voter fraud. |
“Abby Grossberg stands ready to do her part to ensure that justice is done; that those who are licensed and obligated to tell the truth, and guide others to the truth, do just that. As soon as possible and practicable, Ms. Grossberg will continue to set the record straight by telling all she knows to those who need to know,” Filippatos said in a statement. 4.17.23 |

👉Dr Senjay Gupta (CNN) on Gen Z: "In her book, Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, makes the case that Gen Z (or iGen, as she calls them) is growing up in a way that is fundamentally different from previous generations. She told me that some of the biggest behavioral changes ever recorded in human history coincided with the release of the smartphone. Twelfth-graders now are more like eighth-graders from previous generations, waiting longer to take part in activities associated with independence and adulthood, according to Twenge. They are less likely to go out with friends, drive, go to prom or drink alcohol than Gen X 12th-graders were. They are more likely to lie on their beds and scroll through endless social media feeds. They may be physically safer, but the long-term effect on their mental and brain health is a big question mark.
Twenge told me that she “saw just a very, very sudden change, especially in mental health but also in optimism and expectations … between millennials and iGen or Gen Z."
