      It's maybe extreme to say this is the media consensus on Chris Cuomo but you are seeing a lot of people explicitly saying family loyalty trumps ethical obligations. Which is not good.https://twitter.com/LEBassett/status/1465881548239122434 …

      I feel like many more journalists are saying that Clyde and Yglesias are wrong so if anything, the consensus in media is that family loyalty doesn’t trump ethical obligations.

      Okay, maybe I'm over-reacting. Still I was surprised to see people of some prominence articulate an openly mafia ethic.

          Yglesias is being sarcastic like most of his tweets

          Interesting. That's not how I read these statements. I think they're meant to virtue signal a kind of anti-wokeness, part of a larger discourse about cancel culture and people abandoning problematic family members. See, e.g.https://www.mediaite.com/news/molly-jong-fast-had-to-call-the-fbi-due-to-death-threats-after-joking-about-reporting-relatives-to-fbi-on-thanksgiving/ …

          you should really just take them as face value admissions of their ethics. this isn’t 4d chess. yglesias is a bad guy but he’s a blatant one who would specifically say that if that were his point.

          guessing you never got abused by a family member and told someone only to be told to shut up bc it’s family / they didn’t mean it / you deserved it? abusers clump together, it’s a super common family dynamic. and yes it turns into national politics.

          Mafia ethic is exactly it. Tribal loyalty trumps principles.
