I have two friends, neither of whom are politics reporters but who both work in “the media,” who both told me yesterday that they aren’t even allowed to write or post about Trump with work accounts because describing anything he’s doing objectively would appear “anti-Trump.”

it’s hard not to feel disillusioned when reporting all the flagrantly illegal and terrifying things this government is doing somehow doesn’t fully break through to the mainstream. it feels like cable news and corporate media made a deal to convince people to keep calm and carry on.

This is the kind of "lead with the truth, and point out the lies" that we need all the time from every news outlet. Good for @crampell.bsky.social

We are issuing a warning about a worsening climate for free press in this country, driven by a right-wing campaign of anti-media threats. The public cannot become informed about the problems facing our country and the efforts to improve or worsen them without robust protections for journalism.

A number of my colleagues were laid off yesterday by Vox, the parent company of New York magazine. A GoFundMe has been organized for the workers. “All funds raised will be distributed in equal amounts to all laid-off unit members who opt-in to receive funds.” www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...
