Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace. The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art. More on the process: wapo.st/3s6HsFm

I spent four years covering the Trump WH and two years covering the Biden WH. What’s fascinating is that they both lie, albeit in v different ways. Trump team was shameless, whereas Biden team is too cute by half.

A model, in many ways, for how journalists in real time should be forcing politicians to back up their claims with facts and sources and not simply allowing them to go unchallenged.
The Problem With Jon Stewart
@TheProblem7 Oct 2022
Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus

If journalists don’t keep the volume cranked up high on threats to the Postal Service, they will be abdicating their duty. My column washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

It’s a hard story to cover effectively, but journalists have to find a way, because democracy depends on it this fall.

I have a theory for why @AOC and @AyannaPressley handled their hearing better than other, older Dems. It’s bc they didn’t *need* the national TV attention. TV is not how they reach their constituents. They didn’t need to *look* like they were working, they could just work.

In the history of CINEMA, masterpieces have existed without sound, without color, without a story, without actors and without music. No one single film has ever existed without CINEMAtography and without editing.

I don't know how our journalists came to see "storytelling" as the heart of what they do, and "storyteller" as a self-description. I can think of 4-5 elements of journalism more central than "story." Truthtelling, grounding public conversation in fact, verification... listening.
