My hot take is that while this is not an inaccurate statement about standard and unexamined professional norms, the uses of "inappropriate" and "for a journalist" and "covering" and "the White House" here all could bear a little inspection and consideration - ThreadSky

my hot take is that this is an inappropriate thing for a journalist covering the white house to post.

ABC, CBS et al have been craven and pathetic since January. Right when we needed them most.

Corporate media serve corporate interests.

The govt. also enjoys the presumption of regularity outside of courtrooms and I think perhaps it is time for that to come to an end, since they seem to have redefined “professional” communication coming *from the fucking WH*

In short: professional comms? Sure. You first, Trump & admin.

We are rapidly approaching the moment when every single one of us in the U.S. is going to have to declare where we stand on the state of things. I don’t think we should judge someone who’s reached their time to speak out .

There hasn’t been “neutral” media for a few years now anyway.

I’ve been having a fun time at work explaining the brain rot of “norms” in the remaining major papers.

extremely funny to see journalists going to bat for the guy orchestrating grad students getting black-bagged off the street.

only real issue is moran’s assessment isn’t harsh enough, if a journalist is going to comment on the hatred underlying all of this be a little more specific about who it’s directed toward

Norms for thee and not for me.

I just love when people make hot takes and then don't allow comment. This isn't a bulletin board. If you don't want comments, get off the site. Joshua, I'm talking to you and the rest that you're talking to that don't allow comments.

While I agree with you in general, in this case he allows you to comment if you follow him (pretty low bar and entirely in your control) - so you can follow, comment, unfollow… so this isn’t as egregious as some
