These are the 11 commandments of reporting. Every word.
Some professional news: After 11 years of columnizing at WaPo, I'm taking the buyout. This is my last column. It is my advice to any other lucky pundits who land a perch like this—11 principles I've aspired to, even if I haven't always achieved them: wapo.st/3TU2fGw
Ever since Bezos trashed the Post’s opinions page, the unsigned editorials sound like the other uncle at the Thanksgiving table, the one who periodically says the bleedingly obvious to .. what? Be heard? Remind us he’s alive? Seek a lead in to ask for the cranberry sauce?
Decade Flashback...#OnThisDay in 2015: @JTANews' @Kampeas reporting "AIPAC fly-in launches major push against Iran nuclear deal - The pro-Israel lobby is also backing a nonprofit running anti-deal ads that has raised nearly $30 million..." jta.org/2015/07/23/pol… @AIPAC #Iran
A very layered statement with many levels to it. One day it will be storied.
I’m tiered of hearing people say: You aren’t remorseful, you need to show remorse. Or This to shall pass. Sorry but neither of those statements are true.
Yes, Hasan Piker has outed himself as a simple antisemite, but ignore that for a moment. There's something much more interesting happening here: The "proposal," as though new and groundbreaking, that Israeli Jews will one day get up and flee if they're just terrorized and…
Hasan Piker is the most insidious Antisemite influencer Here, he says Israelis should "go back to Brooklyn" and calls them "inbred" All pushed/promoted by @Amazon's streaming service! Check link in replies for a interactive investigation into his chat over a 12 month period⬇️
Haviv is gonna surprise folks who come to read copy uncritical of Israel and its government, as is Bari, if that’s what she was seeking he’d provide. (I don’t think she was, as anyone who’s read half a sentence @havivrettiggur wrote knows this)
Many people criticize "The Free Press" for merely pretending to value viewpoint diversity while only hiring writers who agree with Bari Weiss' most sacred cause. Yet today, they have "big news": they just hired an Israeli journalist who is a fanatical defender of Israel.🇮🇱
Because it didn’t insinuate they shared predatory adventures?
Funny how Bill Clinton's warm gushing letter to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday is getting no coverage. I wonder why that is? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
🚨AFP issues a statement saying this is the 1st time in their entire history their journalists on the ground face death by starvation
If this is correct, Trump and his team truly are impulsive morons and Democrats have to contend with having lost decisively to morons.
The first thing to note about Trump's WSJ lawsuit is that he filed it federally in Florida. In almost every jurisdiction, filing a lawsuit federally helps you avoid the anti-SLAPP statute. But not in Florida.

🇮🇱✊ UnXeptable Statement on the Misleading House Judiciary Committee Memo The MAGA‑driven report released by Rep. Jim Jordan is a partisan hit job parroting ultra-right-wing Israeli and American talking points. Its sole purpose is to besmirch Israel’s heroic grassroots…
NEW BOOK 📚As Jordan navigates changes in Syria, the Gaza war & the Muslim Brotherhood ban, I highly recommend @AaronMagid’s biography of King Abdullah II: “The Most American King.” Aaron spent years in Amman & knows the kingdom as well as anyone. amazon.com/Most-American-…
“I took a literal minute to write something stupid and gross 22 years ago, so what” vs “Democrats are making up a thing that provably happened 12 years before I ran for office” is an interesting crisis PR choice.

Hey @USPS - tracking missing mail using USPS informed delivery used to be so easy — just click on the image of the missing item on the dashboard. Now it’s nigh impossible to. What happened????
Absent the return of the draft, which I learned in Israel is a great way to understand the breadth of society and which I now realize is not a realistic in the U.S. I propose Americans spend a mandated 30 days a year in airport departure lounges.
Decade Flashback...#OnThisDay in 2015: After announcement of "US-Iran Nuclear Deal" @Kampeas in @JTANews "AIPAC to fight White House head to head in battle over Iran deal - The pro-Israel lobby...pulls out all the stops to can the plan" jta.org/2015/07/16/uni… @AIPAC @BarackObama
I really don’t like CAIR. But the difference between “co-conspirator” in a criminal indictment and “unindicted co-conspirator” is vast. The first is criminal. The second is not. It would have been litigable malfeasance for the Times not to note the difference.
In one of the worst "news" pieces I have seen in a while, @nytimes reporters @vimalnyt, @sharonNYT, and @migold penned a piece tonight in which they falsely accused @RepStefanik of "inaccurately suggesting that CAIR had been a 'co-conspirator in a terrorist financing case...in a…
Here's a response and some fact-checking to the arguements made by PM Netanyahu. 1."Difficult questions". Since the beginning of the war, Netanyahu has consistently refused to give interviews to the mainstream Israeli media, particularly in Hebrew, where he might face serious,…
