      2:25 pm: Trump denounced the Justice Dept for investigating members of his own party. 3:20 pm: Kaepernick tweeted his Nike campaign. 5:35 pm: The first celebrity pulled out of New Yorker Fest. 190 minutes for the once-unimaginable politicization of the DOJ to be memory-holed.

      Nothing I hate more than "OMG, people can't think about two things" tweets.

          This isn’t about the inability to carry two thoughts. It’s that the first one is objectively much, much more important yet they’re all flattened into the same sized scandal. Let’s see what the top stories are in the NYT, WaPo and WSJ tomorrow (and, more crucially, Wednesday)

          If you think Trump's affronts to the rule of law will be forgotten by Wednesday, you're living in a different world than me.

          This may the story that holds media attention for more than 12 hours. Maybe. But it’s been a long time since we’ve seen one of those (except the McCain funeral/flag nonsense....which is the exception that proves the rule)

          Dan Lavoie Retweeted Dan Lavoie

          I mean, we’ve been at this exact place before and I pointed it out then. Trump lied repeatedly and flagrantly about the purpose of the Trump Tower meeting for a year, then tweeted out the truth in passing. The media narrative remained unchanged.https://twitter.com/djlavoie/status/1026461757366325249?s=21 …

          Dan Lavoie @djlavoie
          The establishment media MUST learn how to cover a scandal unfolding in the open. Yesterday, Trump admitted the Trump Tower meeting was to “get dirt” on Hillary from Russians — directly contradicting a year of statements. 2 of America’s 4 biggest papers didn’t even put it on A1. pic.twitter.com/IZzrlUmNMR

          I hope that my tweets over years have made clear I’m not making a “Durrrr, the media should cover only stories I like” argument. It’s the flattening of all stories into the same one-size-fits-all “Trump stupidity” box. We all need to be better at lifting up stories that matter.

          I don’t want to regret saying something intemperate, so I’ll just cut this convo short. Have a good night.

          Always a good idea. But if you do want to say something intemperate, my DMs are open. This is an angle care a lot about and I’d honestly appreciate your perspective on why it’s mistaken. Or just have a good night....

          I hate it because it comes from the same place as "isn't that the cat gif site?" and it suggests people are much stupider than they are.
