Hilarious that CNN laughs at a rando Canadian ridiculously comparing Canada to Nazi Germany yet had a piece leading its website this morning comparing Joe Rogan to the Rwandan genocide

CNN’s @brianstelter: "What you have seen in Canada is others are fearful of these protesters who are arguing for freedom. Right? Because some of the fringe rhetoric …”

The New York Times concludes that Venezuela was destroyed by “brutal capitalism.” Unreal.

Pretty stunning Time/CNN poll from 1997. Wonder what these figures would be today...

People are getting sick (and some dying) from bootleg *THC* vapes…so Walmart has heroically responded by ending sales of legit *nicotine* vapes, thus creating space for a new bootleg market. Makes total sense.

Breaking News: Walmart said it would end sales of e-cigarettes at its U.S. stores. It comes amid growing concerns about the health risks of vaping. nyti.ms/30Dn5M5

Shelter in place, Brooklyn! Unless it’s sunny and warm. Then let’s all meet at the park.

So...Jill Abramson's book has finally hit bookstore shelves. A few weeks ago, reading a galley copy, I noticed an egregious error about my colleague @adrs. She tweeted it out, a shit storm followed, Abramson corrected the mistake.

The book ends with a final wag of the finger, reminding me that my colleagues apparently don’t possess “the expertise to compete on the biggest news stories.” If Abramson is the arbiter of ethics & expertise, I think we’re doing just fine.

.@LavenderNRed makes a great case that Venezuela – which is depicted in western media as a cartoonish dictatorship – is much more democratic than the United States.

Imagine watching this grotesque invasion unfold, seeing the devastating human/geopolitical consequences, and thinking, "man, this really reminds me of January 6th." And then saying so publicly. Over and over.

How about immediately *fire* them, wait 15 seconds, and arrest them for assault?

*All three* chapters on Vice were clotted with mistakes. Lots of them. The truth promised in Merchants of Truth was often not true. While trying to corroborate certain claims, I noticed that it also contained...plagiarized passages.

I really have to move out of this stupid neighborhood. Imagine posting this video and thinking it makes you look like a civil rights hero staring down Bull Connor: "Don't know who he's playin' with, bro."

The following examples from the final book—not the galley—are only from the Vice chapters (I didn’t check the others). So let’s begin...Here is Abramson on Gavin McInnes (whom she interviewed) and the Ryerson Review of Journalism rrj.ca/bigot-or-champ…
