Despite calls from politicians for her resignation, Sally Kornbluth, the president of MIT, has avoided a concerted effort to bring down her presidency after testifying in a tense congressional hearing last month on antisemitism.
It's wild that everyone pushing this campaign pretended to care about plagiarism, but then as soon as Gay was pushed out went right back to, "Lol, jk, it's about that BS hearing"
Gotta keep the story warm until a rightwing propagandist can dig up some unpaid parking tickets or whatever thin pretext they need to make the narrative machine go brrrrrr.
They have certainly stepped up the “why is this not happening” thing yet with the economy and many other issues. Click bait. Hoping the other shoe will drop. But conversely it’ll be like “despite x this is why trump is still popular”
This is an incredible premise for an article lol
I never went to journalism school or anything but I feel like even my 10th grade English teacher would have rejected an article premised on "well nothing has happened here, SO FAR" lol
it's so frustrating watching the influential mass media continue to step on rakes. the playbooks are all here and they continue to fumble. it's gonna be really bad this year.
Fucking SEETHING. We got more coverage on this shit than Menendez doing bidness with Qatar and Egypt and Trump taking China cash. Can't imagine which one matters more.
This begs the question of who the actual fuck *is* buying the NYT now. Because if you’re still putting your hand in your pocket for the NYT at the moment, *you’re* the problem. I cancelled a couple of years back and fuck them. They’ve nailed their colors to the mast…

Really not doing any introspection to look at how they’re going after women, what the percentage of top academic leadership is women, what the agenda might be…
“All the news we fit is shit.”
I think the "journalists" in question believe that "taking powerful people down", even at the behest of ghoulish right-wing propagandists is some sort of "accountability journalism."
