Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Crack right wing journalist Molly says you're only a good journalist if you define FAKE news in the same way she does.https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1026537287616815111 …

    For crying out loud, If you’re going to play this stupid game, at least ask 1) if they think FAKE news is enemy and 2) how they define FAKE news. The straw man question of leaving off “fake” is not good journalism. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1026534888646828032 …

        How do you describe yourself as a journalist? Don't you see you are being petty? It doesn't help trying to convince those (who might not see all things your way) by slinging insults. In other words, stop the degrading comments. They are beneath you. Use your brain full stop.

        Mollie decrying "straw men" is one of the greatest self-owns.

        It doesn’t matter who Mollie or Lindsey think are the enemy of the people. It’s Johnny RedHat, with far too many firearms, an implied directive from Trump, and the address to a TV or Radio studio.

        I knew Stalinists in the 70s who did a better job explaining away the twists and turns of Soviet official pronouncements than the Trumpies do with their guy.
