Pay attention to what's happening in this case: the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just essentially ruled that it's fully legal to jail journalists for reporting leaked information, or any information they obtain from government officials without going through "proper channels."

This is a serious issue for #journalism in #Texas, #Louisiana and #Mississppi and we should hope the Supreme Court sets things right quickly. https://www.texasobserver.org/priscilla-villarreal-journalist-la-gordiloca-fifth-circuit/ via @TexasObserver

Trump just filed his opening brief in the immunity appeal in DC circuit court of appeal.

It's late but I just had to start reading (morbid curiosity)

Paragraph #1: He tells the court that if he can be indicted there will be no end to it. Presidents will be indicted for decades! It will be a parade of horribles!

(Assumption: This is a purely political.)

#2 is the doozy.
Basically, Dear Court: You have no power to sit in judgment of MEEEE.

It's laughably absurd.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts: Letter from the Editor”

“The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power.”

@samlitzinger This is a good analysis, apart from the reflexive need to infer good faith where none exists.

Sorry. If they support an oft-indicted sex pest grifter con man insurrectionist who vomits out a firehose of vile sewage in pursuit of misinforming his believers every time he speaks, they're neither thoughtful nor decent.

"I'm a liberal but...." takes are guaranteed 100% garbage.

"People lost faith in NPR because we didn't uncritically regurgitate right wing propaganda" is someone looking for a sinecure at Fox as the token "liberal who has seen the light."

    “I proudly know nothing about the matter, but I will nevertheless weigh in to scold both sides for being so extreme” not only gives you about all you need to know about Friedersdorf - it’s also the pure essence of vacuous, arrogant centrist punditry. A piece of art.
