I realize news outlets are sensitive about defamation lawsuits but this is a pretty clear case. He’s flatly lying about recent history if he says he’s not an anti-vaccine activist. There’s video!

"Incorrectly denies" is such a fucking wild phrase. What a fucking hellscape mainstream journalism is today.

Believe me, in this matter today’s journalism is the same as 60 years ago. Neither Walter Cronkite nor print journalists ever dare call government officials liars about Vietnam, though they definitely were.

Ya say this responding to an independent US journalist that is dead broke because he doesn't just work for anyone. Also, nothing wrong with sex work.

Trump has made "lies" a non-useful phrase, because for his side, facts don't matter and saying something is a "lie" is just an assertion about him not liking it, not anything factual. So we have to keep reminding Trumpers that their Fearless Leaders are speaking actually untrue stuff.

Do you remember that scene in Watership Down when they go to the creepily prosperous warren with the Nazi bunnies and they could never ask "where" anybody or anything was?

Those were more like lotus eater bunnies—kinda the Brave New World warren? The 1984 warren and its leader turn up later in the story as the Big Bad

Yep, that “never ask where somebody is” warren is a dysfunctional, decadent society built on artificial prosperity, denial, distraction etc. The later-encountered Efrafa warren is a fully consolidated authoritarian state built on militarism, secret police, and deprivation—a never-ending emergency

Don't give them a pass due to potential lawsuits. We all know now that they are happy to pay millions to settle nuisance lawsuits. Remember when news organizations really stood up to this nonsense? Some of us still remember Watergate & the Pentagon Papers.
