It isn’t just that he refuses to recuse himself from cases before the Supreme Court — it’s his arrogant assertion that he can assess how a “reasonable person” would view his involvement. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/05/29/justice-alito-rejects-recuse-flags-jan-6-cases/ 73895356007/ 1/

@heidilifeldman I appreciate the legal reasoning offered here, but any sane adult will see this as obviously corrupt and intolerable in a democracy. He needs to go.

A journalist almost takes responsibility for the misinformed public: "Many commentators...blame the media for the public’s economic illiteracy." But then she turns the blame on us: "If the media has a bad-news bias, that’s because our audiences have a bad-news bias, too." Journalists are incapable of meaningful self-reflection, incapable of taking responsibility.

@jeffjarvis both are true, editors alter stories to fit narratives they’re driving - propaganda….. and millions of Americans don’t follow any news and don’t vote and don’t care - in other words are bad citizens
But there are a lot of good storytellers and great Americans too, which give me some hope

Gee. People are misinformed about the economy and crime. Think that might be the failure of the institutions charged with informing the public: journalism? You'll never see journalists reflect on that.

Probably.

New piece:

America’s Elites Fear the Ghost of 1968

Mainstream elites are adopting a reactionary tale about the “leftist” indoctrination of America’s youth that verges on the conspiratorial and is destined to give the Right a major boost.

Some key points:

Great news: Another $3 billion to replace lead pipes.

The funding — part of $15 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — will move us closer to the Administration's goal of replacing 100% of America's lead service lines. Communities with the largest amount of remaining lead pipes tend to be less advantaged so this will help them speed up the process, create jobs, and improve health outlooks.

@douglasvb @bud_t @academicchatter we’re losing it, or it’s becoming a mere simulacrum of faculty governance; mainly because our faculty are in part lazy, and somewhat dull. They often don’t know that they are, or should be, in charge of the curriculum. When they find out they don’t much care.

Journalists will be outraged, of course.

But not outraged enough to become activists on behalf of the democracy -- under escalating Republican attack -- that provides the underpinning for freedom of the press.

I just read a Washington Post article that said Trump, if elected again, would appoint lawyers to his Justice Department who would take a “novel” approach to law. This is like saying that somebody who planned to appoint astrologers to positions in a physics research lab would be appointing people taking a “novel” approach to physics.

@heidilifeldman they just can’t stop with the normalizing of his madness. It must be on purpose. What if they mentioned his sexual assault, insurrection, ignorance, authoritarianism, cognitive decline, Putin subservience, myriad other crime and overall being a rank bum at every single mention. I hope he’d poll worse then. Maybe that why they don’t.

A deliberate campaign to create a permission structure to support rightwing extremism for people who don’t want to think of themselves as supporting rightwing extremism - combined with the eternal mainstream media quest to demonstrate “neutrality” and “balance.”

The result is a bizarre monstrosity.
