She's right though. Whenever someone writes an op-ed that doesn't match with thousands of unwritten rules they're immediately cast out.

Quote
Soon after the show's cancellation, an internal MSNBC memo was leaked to the press stating that Donahue should be fired because he opposed the imminent U.S. invasion of Iraq and that he would be a "difficult public face for NBC in a time of war" and that his program could be “a home for the liberal anti-war agenda”.

Which is why the token woke-ism of media outlets that for decades cheered on wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria etc. is so infuriating.

People on the edges do not respect or value free speech. Anyone that doesn't explicitly share their views is the enemy. They don't care about nuance, nuance is grey and confuses issues. If you're not helping you're in the way.

you’ve gotta be the dumbest person alive to conflate opinion writing with investigative journalism

if you mean twitter as a platform of people sure, if you mean twitter as the ones running it. They are oligarchs.

No one at CNN/MSNBC etc. cared about the climate, diversity and the planet when Dick Cheney showed the world the Taliban mountain fortresses that didn't exist and would make his stonks go up.

According to the pool reporter who watched the event, Biden then cited the Chinese proverb, "Women hold up half the sky."

The phrase comes from a proclamation by Mao in the mid-20th century

Pundits who position themselves as moderate or reasonable typically have as narrow a range of what they consider acceptable as anyone else. They'll adopt the tone of nuance but they won't apply it across the board; if they truly oppose something the language tends to be more direct.

Sullivan called people opposed to the War on Terror "fifth columnists." Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens are notorious for emailing people's bosses when they don't like what someone's said.

I dunno, he either has his soft voice reading the teleprompter or animated with volume when doing rallies and making impromptu remarks.
This combination of rambling about 100 different topics in 20 minutes with a soft voice is not very common.

Trump seems really worried about Joe Biden's platform, which he is reviewing point for point right now for the amusement of the White House press pool.

"There has been a lot of debate about the death penalty."

"Well, sometimes you use the death penalty"

"We could go on for days"
