We're in neither a golden age nor a dark age of journalism, but I do wonder if there's ever been a time when so many people who are absolute failures at the practice have been so widely lauded by dupes as the only "real" journalists.
oh I see, absolutely not, just their analysis on this point IMO (I see their point abt Putin rhetoric re Poland and it being somewhat similar to pre Ukraine invasion, but Poland is wholly different not just b/c it's a NATO member but own military capabilities & no major party is pro Russia)
assuming you're not joking here, not at all, Charlie Brown has hoes is just an expression to convey someone being way off on something they're saying and that's all what I meant
Charlie Brown has hoes ass analysis from Gessen here lol Putin isn't suicidal, Russia isn't about to invade Poland and the previous right-wing Polish gov wouldn't be any less willing to fight Russia, if not evermore trigger happy
very Bluesky to still keep the invite codes on existing accounts after finality going public lol

Tom Friedmanās animal-kingdom metaphor was so risible it distracted from the lazy, motivated thinking of his bottom line: that the US has āno counterstrategy that safely and efficiently kills the wasp without setting fire to the whole jungle.ā Every aspect of that is wrong.
There's a reason Nigel Farage is known as "the man who wouldn't take yes for an answer." The minute you cave in to the far-right, they move their demand to something more radical ā and keep lying about your position.
