Political reporters and editors don't see this. If they did, they'd have fixed it. So every -- EVERY-- EIC needs to do a good-faith audit and plan for how things can work better. Or else we're walking into disaster and the DC media is giggling "let them eat cake!" as we do.

I'm sure a lot of political reporters will get salty. It's not fun to hear you're screwing up. But I offered suggestions on how to address it, and I hope to God, and for all of our sakes, that you guys log off Twitter and consider a more productive approach. It's necessary now.

This is a good read but guess who makes a cameo? Why is Rahm Emanuel in every political story still? Is it 1999?https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/democrats-are-experiencing-clash-generations/594808/ …

I am serious: I think the toxic political style of Rahm Emanuel is the defining political struggle in Democratic politics. People can reject him or accept him but he's the one everyone has to react to.pic.twitter.com/n7E2XhQeTF

Just going to point out that Rahm Emanuel also made an appearance in that dismal Maureen Dowd column about the guillotines. I hope someone is working on a Grand Unified Theory of Rahm Emanuel in the Current Centrist Democratic Mythos

Didn't you just do a thread about how important it is to stick to issue reporting over Twitter drama?

I said we have to focus on the human side of politics. One man holding swat over a party's outlook and issues: That's a great story.

Thank you, it was a real surprise (and very gratifying) to see it resonate like this. There's been something in us that's been collectively struggling with this, I think
