    Why didn't he just denounce the anonymous op ed as fake, say "they have no sources" at the "failing New York Times," and move on to the next collapse? He's can't even remember who he is. He's the "they made it up" guy.

    I wonder if the author knows about the episide with Joe Klein and "Primary Colors."

    "The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed... We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure."

    Reporters and editors are never directly told to modify coverage to ensure Congressional support. But the absurd level of bothsidism is--in my informed opinion--a structural impediment to bold journalism. (Lots of great people there, of course, doing great work despite this).

    A key--and little known--fact about NPR is it is a member-services organization, like AARP. But the members it serves are radio stations, not listeners. NPR employs lobbyists to pursue funding for those stations. NPR's board is majority mid-market member-station execs.

    Alongside the production of news, NPR is constantly engaged in another manufacture: of its own innocence. "Critics say..." is not more accurate than "Trump is attempting to politicize..." but it is more innocent-sounding. And that's a major agenda item at .

    just heard an story on this tweet which ended with “Critics say Trump is attempting to politicize the traditionally neutral DOJ.” .... Critics say?!? How can we pretend that’s not 100% self-evident to anyone?

    Finally got the time to listen to this tape. In some ways it is more revealing of who he is than anything else that tries to reveal who he is.

    When a public figure admits a truth long avoided or suppressed from themselves, I do not think the smart response is: what took you so long? Or, "what a jerk." Nor is praise for the heroic truthteller proper. It should be some version of: welcome, you're in a better place.

    There is no White House, really. Not in the sense that reporters came to use that term. It's just Trump— and people who work in the building. Those words, "the White House" are still used, but they have no clear referent. The metonymy broke.

    The state of play - no talking points from the White House three hours after the Woodward book lands. Trump has been asking aides about the book for at least two weeks.

    As I said last night, the last illusion to fall in the mainstream press will involve the asymmetry between the parties when it comes to making stuff up and rejecting the whole spirit of journalism. Read this to see what I mean.

    Wow. If you read Andrew Lack's statement yesterday and then this... Way bigger than the Brian Williams controversy.

    Something I am keeping a very close eye on after my summer in Germany.

    A party with recent roots in the neo-Nazi movement may come first or (more likely) second in Swedish elections this Sunday, and far too few people are paying attention to this stunning development. (Thread.) 1/n

    If you missed it over the holiday, my 'Letter to the German press' was published in German and English. Based on 53 interviews I did with people in and around journalism in Germany. It's about German pressthink and its collision with right wing populism.

    This is brilliantly stated by . "Fox intended to build its brand the same way Ailes had built the brands of political candidates: by making the public hate the other choice more."

    The last illusion to fall in political journalism's mainstream division — the last fact to be reluctantly conceded — will be the asymmetry between the two major parties in the erosion of democratic institutions and attitudes. When that goes, the deluge.
