When I was at HuffPost we had fierce discussions about how we were framing issues and if we were playing into the PR spin that was presented. Are these conversations happening at NYTimes or Washington Post or any of the legacy media? DEI being just one example.

All of us — no matter your religious identity or background — should be disgusted by the recent resurgence of Nazi symbolism and rhetoric in the United States. As people of diverse faiths, we are united against antisemitism and hate in all forms. #SteveBannon
