Tucked within a fresh New York Times Magazine piece by Mark Leibovich about the White House press office is a gem of an encounter between the author and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

The Associated Press reported this morning that guards outside an Environmental Protection Agency meeting physically removed one of its reporters after they were denied entry through a security checkpoint in the federal building. The wire service says it was barred from the event—a national summit on water…

If you can remember all the way back to yesterday, you may recall a front page New York Times article that cast Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as something of a spokesman for Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The would-be flack laid out some major news about the Russia investigation:

As Pittsburgh City Paper Editor Charlie Deitch was driving to work on Tuesday morning, a colleague tipped him off that the paper’s management was in the office and prepared to ambush. “I sat across the street in a parking garage and I deleted all the passwords from my computer, getting ready to hand it in,” Deitch,…

It is becoming an article of faith within the newspaper industry that being owned by a benevolent billionaire may be the only way to survive an unforgiving corporate and economic environment for print media.

Over the past 18 months, political journalists and news executives have done plenty of dancing around the idea that a “Trump Bump” has provided a financial lifeline for national media outlets. The idea that a Donald Trump presidency is a good thing for the bottom line doesn’t mesh with the notion that he presents a…

What do all of these things have in common?

Ben Howe, a longtime conservative media veteran and former Red State contributor (until the site’s owners purged the site of its anti-Trump voices), appears in the Daily Beast with a polite request of his compatriots:

Today, Politico’s DC-famous newsletter Playbook went off, y’all. It dropped some major truth bombs. It did NOT hold back.

The cable channel FX announced today that it is launching a weekly documentary series focusing on the inner workings of the New York Times. This is not to be confused with the new Showtime documentary series about the New York Times. Unfortunately for these desperate, gullible TV executives: media is fucking boring.

Gina Haspel, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, is testifying in front of Congress today. Her nomination is seen as being on shaky ground thanks to her role in overseeing a CIA black site in Thailand during the Bush administration where prisoners were tortured. While her exact role is…

While Donald Trump feuds with the national press on Twitter, dueling cable shows call each other out for fake news, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders spars with Jim Acosta, journalists outside of the daily Washington drama face a far bigger threat. The dire economics of the media industry are well-established, but in many…

Tomorrow night is the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner. Fuck the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.

THE POLITICO reports that quasi-journalistic power broker Campbell Brown had a birthday party this weekend.

Farewell, Paul Ryan, you smirking fraud. Thank you for fucking off back to Wisconsin, to be with your family, at least until you accept one of the consulting or shadow lobbying jobs you are already being offered, which will inevitably bring you back to the Washington area, where you will actually spend the rest of…

The Federalist is a right-wing website whose core function is to trigger the libs. You might know it from hits like “Having Pets Instead of Kids Should Be Considered a Psychiatric Disorder,” “The Obama Administration Is Now Apologizing For America Winning World War II,” and “It’s Time For the United States to Divorce…

Let us very briefly address the wrong argument that “Bias against conservatives works like any other prejudice.”

Our nation’s present uproar over the deleterious effects of social media on society and fretting about the decline of trusted news outlets is nothing new. What’s new is the fact that the straightforward ways to prop up the Real Journalism industry have never been more obvious.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, the conservative media conglomerate that came under scrutiny late last week for forcing its news anchors to robotically recite an anti-media segment on air—has a bizarre new “must-run” segment for local news stations, this one starring a former Trump aide railing against the media.

Last week, The Atlantic announced a handful of new columnist hires, including longtime National Review writer Kevin D. Williamson. The magazine’s editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, has already felt the need to defend the decision to his staff.
