:thinking: How many mass media outlets are still using X? It’s been at least 2 years, FFS. If they cannot bother to switch social media platforms, I don’t have much faith in their ability to push for firing Elno. I guess they’re getting something from their continued support. :moneybag:

Carry on then!

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.
