Jason O. Gilbert: In awe of this tweet, which truly captures everything bad about mainstream journalism in 2024

In awe of this tweet, which truly captures everything bad about mainstream journalism in 2024

I want Ken to unblock me so that I can say something to him that will make him block me again

This is maybe (maybe) the most I laughed at any of your posts

What did you say the first time

It was after Barr put out a letter saying Mueller didn't find collusion and I said "you're just going to take Barr's word for it?" Then, days later, Mueller put out a letter of his own saying Barr had taken him out of context (so I was right)

He's well experienced in both sides creative writing (I won't call it journalism) since he seems to be from an alternate universe

one is a convicted felon trying to obtain monarchical power over the most powerful nation on the world one allegedly still speaks to his only living son these two things are the same to me

Aw fuck dilanian.

Pretty impressive ratio. Ken also believes that Donald was exonerated by the Mueller report and cleared "mop up" stories before they went to print with the CIA (sent them drafts) when he was with the LA Times.

One tweet that sums up the failure of the free press entirely. Just such a disgrace.

It’s extraordinary he wasn’t run out of journalism for running his work by the CIA to get their approval before publishing.

I doubt it was just him, intelligence is cozy cozy with all our big outlets

On the one hand we have a felon running for president. On the other hand, we have, checks notes, a son cheering on his dad. Anyone else see a difference?

I'm almost embarrassed for him, but then I remembered he gets PAID for this shit.

they are equally extraordinary. extra-ordinary mainly due to the fact that both cases involve felonies. felonies are not good, people are saying. here’s someone now. “complicated stuff. this is not good,” someone said. but some don’t mind. “i don’t mind,” someone familiar said. “it’s extraordinary.”

"Trump committed multiple crimes and should be in jail." "However, biden.. I heard a rumor he talked to his son."

And, if fragile Dilanian saw your comment, he’d block you.

Ask me how I know

Is NYT Pitchbot on Bluesky yet?

I'm sorry to learn that Ken Dilanian has suffered serious head trauma.

damn half measures

they call him Hunter "Consigliere" Biden cause no one in the executive branch makes a move without him. He's "a central figure," or so I've heard from the squirrels in the park

Dilanian: "Both sides, amirite??"

That reminds me, we never hear about Cillizza anymore.

I know. Isn't it WONDERFUL?

Embarrassing. So embarrassing.

smooooth brain, that one

Fuck this guy, he’s the worst

I’ll say it: Dill-anian

Google "ken dilanian cia" Why does he still have a reporting job?

He's not wrong.

To anyone who thinks this is just stupidity or cluelessness, let me remind you that Dilanian has been a mainstream peddler of disinformation disguised as news and commentary for at least two decades, and is best known for having run his stories by the CIA for approval while working at the LA Times.

have to appreciate how HB with his gun charge that is never charged in real life gets to stand in as the equivalent of the entire 45 administration. Ahhh to be able to live a life as context free as that tweet must be an outstanding achievement.

That is a bothsiderism that defies the laws of logic and grammar.

NBC news has had many, many crap takes, but this is a winner!

if we’re doing “taking advice from felons is basically like being a felon”, it’s maybe also worth mentioning that the chief strategist for one of those men went to prison today

Ken, Fuck You!

He is god awful.

Reagan sold weapons to Iran to fund the contras, but BILLY BEER!

“(reportedly)” Awesome reporting there, reporter guy.

(I don’t think he’s WHPC but the principle is the same) bsky.app/profile/amdi...

Confession time: if Trump is reelected one thing he will do is completely dismantle the WHPC and I’m not going to be all that mad about it.

Complete with the smug, asshole, “I’m important” half smile

Ken Dilanian (reportedly) kicks puppies for fun

Jesus does he have both-sides brainworms

It is so crazy that this guy is (allegedly) taking election advice (maybe) from his crack addict son (I heard from an anonymous source)

Oh, that schmuck. I think he keeps his brains in the lower end of his digestive tract.

Idiot

Interesting swerve to blame the mainstream media for the government like it’s their fault.
