@DAvallone She’s a journalist; if she listened she might have recognized the voice of a big slice of the electorate, begging for help in the fight against fascism. But I expect we’ll just hear more about ‘white rural rage.’

@Moreplankton I need to spend more time in Kentucky diners, so I can be heard.

@DAvallone She's my idol, but this was disappointing.

@desdawg70 So few journalists in the age of Trump have passed the "wagon circling/honest broker of media failures" test. I feel like "how to be a thin-skinned scold" is the main focus of a modern journalism school.

@DAvallone its really weird that he does so few interviews

@InternetR0bot Except that’s not actually true. He does them. She even admits that in the replies. Just not with her buddies.

@DAvallone Dave you don’t have to defend the most powerful man on the planet from the basic accountability of having to answer questions from reporters lmao

@dravenpop Drav, she admits in the replies that he does interviews. Just not with HER pals. Grow the fuck up.

@DAvallone The best part of her replies is the subthread where Maureen Dowd got dragged.

@citizengatsby Yes, I was part of that dragging as well. Fantastic that she got support from someone so awful.

@DAvallone I missed the announcement of journalists being immune from feedback and criticism. No, I don't condone harassment or threats. But so many have acted like they are gods issuing truths from on high and shall never be questioned.

@PortiaMcGonagal Sometimes I think they're secretly grateful that some of the criticism goes too far, because then they get to categorize ALL pushback as bullying, harassment and threats. It gives them license to pretend it's ALL invalid, when 99% of it is reasonable, unthreatening AND valid.

@DAvallone I was keeping track, when it got to 2.3 thousand replies and there were only 800 likes she locked it.

@DAvallone She is absolutely right. Biden has not wasted his time with the Times, Post, or Journal. This new normal is quite nice.

@DAvallone Such a valid point. And yet zero self relflection and/or humility.

@DAvallone @dfchispas Lather, rinse, repeat.

@DAvallone And Mayer is supposed to be one of the "good" ones.

@DAvallone This makes me sad. She's one of the few in that business I've come to respect and I'd have hoped for better from her.

@DAvallone I was pretty surprised by how obtuse she was being - both in her original statement and in some of the replies.

@DAvallone Sounds right. The party of bullying.
