      Remember: this is all about Jeff Zucker signing their paychecks. It’s not about bravery, or principle, or telling the truth. It’s so Max can get another thirty pieces of silver to spend on stupid fedoras.https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/1161287158390513664 …

      Appalling attack by the president on one of America’s most respected journalists—a fearless (and eminently sane) truth teller I am proud to work with at @cnn. We cannot accept as normal these kinds of attacks on the free press. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1161277403353759744 …

      Ever wondered why politics reduces to personal grievance for so many media elites? It’s because they’re fundamentally untalented goons fighting for paychecks they can’t actually justify except as matters of institutional inertia.

      I've been arguing for years that so much online nastiness is displaced career competition and anxiety.

      The sad thing is, Max is a fine writer on military history, if not as elegant as Victor Davis Hanson. He's just lousy at writing a regular column on domestic politics.

      Think of it more this way: a perfectly symmetrical arrangement of metal shavings is a whole different picture when you set it next to a giant magnet.

          The collection of metal shavings should be self-aware enough to recognize when it’s next to said magnet and when it’s just a bunch of byproduct.

          I think of Boot as @jonathanchait wrote about Andrew Sullivan when Sullivan flipped from being rabidly pro-Israel to rabidly anti-Israel: "the shattering of a brittle worldview and its replacement by a new worldview, equally brittle."https://newrepublic.com/article/73049/andrew-sullivan-not-anti-semite …
