Inside the Meltdown at CNN

That said, Licht is spot on, here

Anyway, if your media business goal is to make money from conservative eyeballs, there are plenty of examples of how to do that—it’s a large, mature, fiercely competitive market of very well-fed customers, so good luck!

(I also think this helps explain the GOP politician phenomenon of only changing their mind to be more progressive on specific issues when said issues personally impact them—but that’s probably a broader human thing and also a separate story)

And Republicans have been trained for decades that non-aligned media is the enemy—not just wrong, not just liars, but literally their enemy!

The idea that you if simply tell the truth, everyone will trust and believe you and become your happy customer is preposterously at odds with human nature—do those things because that’s the job, but don’t expect a gold star from people who don’t want to hear it

The underlying question here—and across non-GOP media—seems to be, “how do we get Republicans to trust us?” The answer is, you can’t! Look at what happened to FOX NEWS when they told their audience one thing—Trump lost—that it didn’t want to hear

A lot going on in here, but two things stand out to me: 1) the truly daft idea that there’s a big/profitable Republican audience yearning for Fox Lite; 2) usual lip service to “let’s get back to NEWS” sans spending $ and eating the bad ratings that entails

They ban people for it because Amazon pays per page read, so if he spams 97 books people read 10 pages of and don't finish once they realize it's incoherent, that means he gets paid as much as if he wrote 4-5 books people read cover to cover. Literally just a scam.

When donated, tax deductible money goes to a coach they just call it a "buyout." But when it ends up in an athlete's hands, they admit to money laundering.

Why the GOP Wants to Rob Gen Z to Pay the Boomers

Car dealers are superrich, one of the top 5 jobs in the .1 percent of American earners. They are militantly organized and extremely conservative, donating to GOP at a 6 to 1 clip with one of the fiercest lobbying shops on earth. So I went to their annual blowout party weekend…

republican politics is largely a feedback loop with right-wing media detached from actual impacts to normal people. the reason trump will probably be the nominee is simply that he's the best at that because he's been doing it for at least 15 years.

Few people today remember how central Cambodia was to Nixon's approach to the Vietnam War, and how Nixon's 1970 invasion of Cambodia helped finally turn Americans against the war, and against Nixon.

Exclusive witness interviews and archival documents detail killings of hundreds of Cambodian civilians.

No policy program is more politically fantastical than the idea we can meaningfully tax and cut our way out of $31 trillion in debt. It will never happen, everyone knows it, no one says it. The press' skepticism is reserved instead for the likes of M4A, student debt relief, etc.

I've come to suspect that many people post on Twitter like it's speech among friends, but read Twitter like it's writing from a credible source. There's a lot of tension created by that misalignment.

I feel like the core problem is that Twitter is used as a water cooler to goof off but also as a place to raise awareness and test out political messaging. So when you say "I like donuts" people read it like you're proposing a Universal Basic Donuts policy
