Cliffs on this? He wrote about the fake Ukraine stuff right? Is that’s what causing the above?
He was basically parroting Giulian’s Ukraine conspiracy theories in the Hill and the Examiner. Republicans are using his columns as “evidence” of Ukraine interference. He wasn’t so much reporting news as laundering false info from Giuliani and some other Trumpists.
He was literally fake news.

This seems like the right place to put this amazingly awesome tidbit. free press is important. Investigative journalism is still important. Local sources are often the best sources. Or, how a 384-word story in the San Diego Union Tribune led to the fall of a congressman:

Spoiler alert - They don’t find out why.
Love this part though:
Before having her own kids, Whitney Phinney acknowledges she thought of paid leave and subsidized child care as “handouts.”
“I’ve definitely evolved my perspective from an individualistic ‘Everyone just needs to take care of themselves; no one’s going to help you out’ to ‘Hey, it’s our job as a society to help support each other, and that means supporting kids and raising kids and taking care of kids,’” she said.
Fuck you.

This ‘individualistic’ mindset is so frustratingly pervasive, and she deserves the “fuck you” for needing to have kids of her own before she could feel empathy towards others. Hell, I’m a single male with no desire to ever have kids and would be thrilled for my tax dollars to go towards parental leave and childcare.

What is funny is major media has NEVER been that aggressive with Trump even though there are massive sums of low hanging fruit.
The media is certainly highly complicit in the mess we all live in and clearly they want us to stay there.

As this point I legitimately think they just call up the local GOP field office in whatever bumfuck shithole place they hit with a dartboard.
