A pro-insurrection flag flew outside Samuel Alito's home after January 6th.

Clarence Thomas’ wife worked to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices are set to rule on cases related to January 6th and subverting the election.

Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

@rbreich @darwinwoodka Always pulling punches. I trust , and as much as I trust any other seditionist . They just wear better clothes and live in nicer neighborhoods - and do their work with a pen rather than with a flagpole crushing a Capitol Policeman’s head. Not to let the rest of the “Conservative” majority off the hook - they are the same and should all be dealt with as

The NBC Ronna McDaniel matter is not over, and nor should it be. As the details emerge, the rot and institutional disregard for the truth at NBC becomes more apparent.

NYU Journalism Professor Jay Rosen is one of the smartest people on the intersection of media and politics. A couple days ago he was interviewed for this podcast about the NBC Ronna McDaniel matter: https://newrepublic.com/article/180118/nbc-meltdown-ronna-mcdaniel-hiring-fiasco

This highly recommended discussion, which could be co-title The War On Truth, is essential to a broader understanding of the media today as it tries to apply normal methods to a candidate and party that fundamentally play by different rules.

@mastodonmigration Many of these media companies have gone right wing after being acquired, Baltimore Sun, CNN, Washington Post now that Bezos changed. Sulzberger's clear direction to staff to hedge their bets. To your point, which I agree with, is that media companies are not defenders of democracy like the Post was or the NYT and in fact that are being co-opted by the same right wing billionaires that bought SCOTUS.
