- Pinned TweetTo test the viability of "crowd-funded" models, I will be writing daily on Medium: https://medium.com/@mtracey Also see:
- Writers need to trust that a magazine/outlet will stand by them once an article is published, and not just give in to social media uproars.
- If the piece was so offensive, the time to air concerns would've been during the editing process. Not in reaction to Twitter mobs. Truly sad
- It's pathetic that The Nation capitulated to Twitter pressure and cajoled its writer into "correcting" her own piece
- I keep seeing Dem pundits retweet Evan McMullin, the Bill Kristol-approved CIA spook, because he says what they want to hear re: Trump/Putin
- I had a long discussion on this podcast about the current "problematic" media landscape
- Note how "hacked John Podesta's gmail account" has become "hacked the election." What does "hacked the election" even mean? @nytimes
- The burden of proof is on those definitively positing a grand Russian conspiracy, not those of us noting that there is no evidence for this.
- Yes, stake your opposition to Trump on CIA hearsay, treason accusations, and Russia paranoia. More sound strategic thinking from Democrats.
- I'm not a big fan of movies, but "Manchester by the Sea" was pretty good.
- The whole Giuliani thing was a fakeout too. Remember, Rudy ran against Mitt in 2008 and accused him of employing illegal immigrants.
- Mitt Romney is a groveling fool. Trump played him like a fiddle.
- I assumed the crackpot Russia hysteria would subside somewhat after the election. I was wrong. People have truly gone insane.
- Please forward this post to the various pundits who have declared Trump a "fascist." Are they willing to take up arms? Time is running out.
- And it's prominent liberals (along with neocons) screaming for everyone to dutifully and credulously accept these rumors. Simply disgusting.
- Once again, the impulse to uncritically believe unverified CIA rumors is just unreal. Read a history book if you're confused about the CIA.
- Why is Nate Silver uncritically endorsing the veracity of CIA claims relayed second-hand by anonymous sources?
- Electoral College subversion plots might seem far-fetched, but many angry elites support the tactic. Keep an eye out
- Benjamin Netanyahu directly interfered in the 2012 election to help Mitt Romney. I don't remember that causing some huge legitimacy crisis.
- John Podesta's gmail account was compromised via phishing link. People are vastly exaggerating the complexity of this supposed "hacking" op
- Liberals screaming about Russia must be furious at Obama, who would've had to be complicit in the grand coverup
