Ida Bae Wells / @nhannahjones: This inherent belief in the integrity and honor of folks who exist in the same social class as you and who run in the same professional circles, who as Rosen said, break bread with you, despite evidence to the contrary is a BIAS, and one that has done untold damage to our country
Ida Bae Wells / @nhannahjones: This both-sideism tht ensapsultes so much of our political reporting is actually the opposite of objectivity. To ignore, down play or overlook what is clear because we need to give both sides equal time and treatment even when one side openly & strategically lies is not objective
Ida Bae Wells / @nhannahjones: So, one, this was so spot on, and infuriating, and frightening in that we know little will likely come of Todd's admissions.

Phil Kalina / @pkalina: ...quoting Upton Sinclair @jayrosen_nyu also quotes Garry Kasparov: “The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.” That is how Trumpism operates.
Michael Leppert / @michaelleppert: I read it-patiently waiting for Rosen's plan of action for today. He wrote that Todd/NBC doesn't have any “earthly idea” what to do, but then also didn't offer one either. I write (not a journalist) and I would rally around a good idea on this if it were offered. @jayrosen_nyu
@xgambitt69x: IMO I think the answer would be something like what @NicolleDWallace did once and just cut off the interview and she literally said “this is full of lies and we can't go on”. 💥
@bandyxlee1: This is the essence of “conflict of interest.” Almost all politicians have conflicts of interest that would disqualify them in any other job. https://twitter.com/...

Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: That's why the treatment of Mann and Ornstein in 2012 is so important. They had the epiphany and sounded the alarm. They were members in good standing of the establishment club. Ornstein was once the most quoted person in Beltway journalism. And then... they were placed outside.

@naretevduorp: .@chucktodd admits to being naive about the @GOP strategy of lies. From my vantage point, Chuck is less of a naïveté, and more of person who allows his biases to guide his objectivity, or the lack thereof. More simply, success has caused Chuck to devolved into a biased hack. https://twitter.com/...
Teymoor Nabili / @teymoornabili: You don't get to claim you are naive about politics when you have these kinds of positions." Is the US media finally opening its eyes? And how long will it take for the UK media to spot the resemblance, and learn the lessons of GE 2019? http://pressthink.org/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: US journalists need to not only understand asymmetric political polarization & our epistemic crisis but change how they work in response. @jayrosen_nyu critique of @chucktodd is harsh but earned: http://pressthink.org/... @MeetThePress laundered lies & engaged in false equivalency https://twitter.com/...

Stephen White / @sgw94: This explains the problems with Chuck Todd as not only the MTP host but also NBC's political director a lot more calmly and coherently than I did.

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: “One of the things we don't fully appreciate in mainstream media on these attacks is that it's become fun to attack the press, if that makes sense, on the right. It doesn't matter if we're right or wrong, attack them anyway.” https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
Jordan / @jordanchariton: It's truly amazing seeing the glorification of one of the premiere access journalists of our time https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
Soledad O'Brien / @soledadobrien: [It has become standard that many in the press fail to accurately assess and take responsibility for their own major failures] https://twitter.com/...
Jodi Jacobson / @jljacobson: I have a big problem with this piece on @chucktodd in that he does none of this. https://www.rollingstone.com/ ... Because Todd is the ultimate both-sides-er and the ultimate inside-the-beltway narrative driver and he does not own any of it.
Porpentina / @porpentina2017: Chuck Todd is either an idiot or complicit. Think about it; he said he was surprised by this? He was surprised for THREE YEARS?! Right! This was to sell advertising for the show. If it wasn't, then he isn't intelligent enough to host this news institution https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
Brian Flood / Fox News: NBC News Chuck Todd ripped for ‘embarrassing, enraging’ comments about disinformation
Jim Hanson / @jimhansondc: The only way this is not utter garbage Is if it's a confession https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
Teri Carter / @teri_atthepaper: This is a remarkable interview, but it's because Chuck repeatedly talks about how naive he is about politics and how Trump has been using the media for years. Chuck's not naive, he's complicit. Chuck Todd's show has done very well in the Trump era. Follow the $$$$$, always. https://twitter.com/...
David Roberts / @drvox: The question, of course, is what he's going to change going forward. https://twitter.com/...
Jonathan M. Katz / @katzonearth: OK cool. Now he can retire and let someone competent do the job. https://twitter.com/...
Tero Kuittinen / @teroterotero: LOL Chuck Todd is so widely despised he is STILL Number 1 trending topic, three days after that spectacularly dumb interview. He is like America's train meat pastry complaint guy.
Luke Brussel / @lukebrussel: If more journalists have an epiphany like Chuck Todd's maybe appropriate and accurate coverage of the Trump Administration and supporters will emerge (at last). #BothSides https://twitter.com/...
Eddie Scarry / Washington Examiner: Chuck Todd has a theory about media mistrust
Lindsey Ellefson / The Wrap: NBC News' Chuck Todd Admits He Was ‘Naive’ About GOP's ‘Misinformation’ Campaign
Fadel Allassan / Axios: NBC's Chuck Todd claims Republicans have an “incentive” to spread misinformation
Vivek Saxena / BizPac Review: Chuck Todd gets brutal backlash for wild ‘confessional’ about GOP on coordinated disinformation campaign
Lois Winkler / @hoi_pollois: Chuck Todd covers politics like he's covering sports: short plays lead to short plays, things happen, winners + losers switch places regularly. Yay, boo. No depth, no arc of history w real people + effects, just bodies on a field. https://twitter.com/...
Kara Calavera / @karacalavera: “Naive”? Chuck Todd has been completely incompetent! https://twitter.com/...
Ian Millhiser / @imillhiser: This is interesting, but I think many political journos overestimate the impact of disinformation and underestimate the impact of bad editorial judgment. The story that elected Trump — Her Emails — was true. It just shouldn't have be covered as the most important story of 2016. https://twitter.com/...
Patrick Blanchfield / @patblanchfield: this interview with @chucktodd, in which he describes his own being “naive,” is more accurately a portrait of a man defined by such intellectual inertia and general laziness that even having read it I can hardly believe it's real https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
Yes Yves Yes / @adamantxyves: Given how he's shut down people on Twitter (particularly minorities) who tried to warn him, I'd say that “naive” is not the right word here. https://twitter.com/...
Brooke Binkowski / @brooklynmarie: Or he could have, you know, listened to us experts. But hey https://twitter.com/...
Soledad O'Brien / @soledadobrien: So: in short: chuck Todd tells @RollingStone he was “just absurdly naive in hindsight” when Sean Spicer lied about inaugural crowd size When Kellyanne Conway coined ‘alternative facts’: “wait a minute” an incredulous Chuck Todd interrupted, laughing. (1) (1) https://twitter.com/...
Elon Green / @elongreen: The punchline is he said this in an interview about his role in spreading disinformation https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
Armando / @armandondk: I like Todd's misidentifying a Maya Angelou quote as from Toni Morrison. On point. https://twitter.com/...
Maya Contreras / @mayatcontreras: 1. Glad Chuck Todd FINALLY realized that Trump & his entire team have been spreading disinformation since he declared his run. 2. Chuck should have caught on years ago, that's literally his job. 3. He quoted Maya Angelou but attributed it to Toni Morrison. 🤦🏽♀ ️ Do better, Chuck. https://twitter.com/...
Heather Bryant / Nieman Lab:

Simon Galperin / @thensim0nsaid: An independent press helps people navigate decisions, builds empathy, and serves the public interest.

Joe Costello / @ofbyforbook: After I sent to him, he called me and said his eyes welled up reading the piece. So, raise a glass and shed a tear for the passing of William Greider, a great American, you won't find the likes of him around much these days. Cheers Bill
Christopher Federico / @chrispolpsych: RIP, William Greider. Sounds weird in some ways to write it now, but his late '80s / early '90s articles in Rolling Stone played a non-negligible role in my political socialization. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mariam Ahmed / Talking Biz News: Economy journalist Greider passes away
Tom Philpott / @tomphilpott: A great one has passed. His “Secrets of the Temple” had a profound impact on me: peeled back the cliches & obfuscations of Wall Street & the financial press to reveal who wins/loses from neoliberal economic policy. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Merrill Brown / @merrillbro: Thanks to @KatrinaNation for a moving tribute to one of the great journalists of our day, William Greider who just passed away. Bill was an absolutely brilliant writer. https://www.thenation.com/...

Ari Berman / @ariberman: Devastated by passing of my old @thenation colleague Bill Greider. Grew up reading Bill in @RollingStone & he was invaluable mentor to me when I moved to DC as young reporter. He truly spoke truth to power & gave voice to the voiceless https://www.nytimes.com/...
Santa Wayne / @g_portmanteau: One last one. When Bill worked at Rolling Stone, he shared the political beat with Hunter S. Thompson, who nicknamed him “Dollar Bill Greider.” HST once tried to harangue a night clerk at a motel to score painkillers for Bill after Bill had hurt his back. A sweet gesture.
Nicholas Kristof / @nickkristof: William Greider, Journalist Who Focused on Economy, Dies at 83 https://www.nytimes.com/... Bill Greider was a senior Washington Post editor when I was a lowly intern there, and he exemplified journalism with both a head and a heart. RIP.
David Sanger / @sangernyt: Very sad to hear of the passing of my friend Bill Greider, a mentor to two generations of journalists, a great writer, reporter and ultimately an editorialist. We were neighbors in both Washington and Vermont, where, until not long ago, he lived in.... https://www.nytimes.com/...
Katrina vanden Heuvel / The Nation: Remembering Bill Greider
Josh Mankiewicz / @joshmankiewicz: “Journalist Who Focused on Economy” doesn't quite do it. It's true, but what it doesn't explain is just how stunningly good Bill Greider was. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Ashraf Laidi / @alaidi: Greider's book on the history of the Fed is the ultimate work ever existed on the topic. William Greider, Journalist Who Focused on Economy, Dies at 83 https://www.nytimes.com/...
Joe Costello / @ofbyforbook: About a dozen years ago, I got a call from Bill Greider asking if I'd help him find a piece in the Post's archives he had written, “in 73 or 74.”, for the book he was working on. “I should know how to do this, but I know you can do it quickly.”
Zephyr Teachout / @zephyrteachout: 14 years ago I entered an office piled with books, and met this legend, who had a heart as big as the ocean and a beautiful mind. I cherish those conversations. His book, “Who Will Tell the People,” was a world-view changing read. What a loss, and life. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Jon Schwarz / @schwarz: I used to talk about “Who Will Tell the People” by William Greider so much that @mgerber937 threatened to mock up the cover for a book called “I Will Tell the People!” with a picture of me on the front angrily shaking my fist https://www.nytimes.com/...
Damon Silvers / @damonsilvers: On Christmas Day my dear friend and mentor Bill Greider died. Bill wrote THE book on the Federal Reserve system—Secrets of the Temple. Bill was a great reporter, a patriot, a progressive populist, & a true friend of working people. May his memory be a blessing. #1u @AFLCIO
Richard / @rjeskow: Bill Greider, a great writer and great friend, died yesterday.

Jonathan Alter / @jonathanalter: I didn't know Bill Greider but he was a compleat journalist—great reporter, elegant writer, incisive thinker. We need more like him. https://twitter.com/...

Jennifer Taub / @jentaub: I just learned of his passing tonight. So very sad. Met Bill for the first time in 2009 at a conference in Amherst. He was so very kind and generous with his time and ideas.

Charles P. Pierce / @charlesppierce: Bill Greider was a goddamn giant who saw the current incoming oligarchy decades before anyone else. RIP.
Anthony Wright / @aewright: William Greider's book, Who Will Tell The People?, was an inspiration, as was his magazine reporting for @RollingStone and @TheNation. The book was key to my thinking of my college senior thesis and my career. RIP Bill Greider. https://twitter.com/...
Jon Schwarz / @schwarz: When I was a wee malcontent I read Who Will Tell the People by William Greider ten times, and then I looked up his address in the phone book and wrote him a letter and he called and invited me to have lunch with him. https://twitter.com/...
Jon Schwarz / @schwarz: RIP William Greider. There's a passage in his book Who Will Tell the People that to me captures the significance of the election and rise of @AOC: “Power can accumulate in mysterious ways, if citizens believe they possess this right.” https://interc.pt/2KIWrO8 pic.twitter.com/se7dW5OxJ0
Tim Morris / @tmorris504: Greider's best-known books include “One World, Ready or Not” (1997), about the global economy; “Secrets of the Temple” (1987), a critique of the Federal Reserve system; “Who Will Tell the People? The Betrayal of American Democracy” (1992) https://www.nytimes.com/...
Bob Hutton / @herecomesdrbob: One of the most important (unassigned) writers I discovered in college. Still not sure how to pronounce his last name... William Greider, Journalist Who Focused on Economy, Dies at 83 https://www.nytimes.com/...
Marc Caputo / @marcacaputo: Greider's “Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country” is a must read. I never thought a book about the fed could be a page-turner, but he did it https://twitter.com/...
Jesse Walker / @notjessewalker: William Greider has died. After years of reading him, I finally met him during the short-lived Come Home America project; he seemed like an all-around mensch. RIP. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Juliet Eilperin / @eilperin: I met Bill Greider before I knew what a journalist was - he was just the kind and gracious dad around the corner. It was only once I got to college that I started reading him that I realized he saved his sharp words for his subjects. I'm sorry he's gone. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jonathan Tasini / @jonathantasini: If you want to read THE definitive book about the Federal Reserve, read his book “Secrets of The Temple”. He truly was what journalists are supposed to be. RIP. #WilliamGreider #FederalReserveBoard https://www.nytimes.com/...
Binyamin Appelbaum / @bcappelbaum: I have long admired the way Greider wrote about economic policy, placing the emphasis on the consequences for ordinary people and everyday life. RIP. https://www.nytimes.com/...
David Sirota / @davidsirota: Awful news. Bill was one of my heroes. A story I told him: I was on a 1st date with a woman who asked me for a book rec. I said my fave was “Who Will Tell the People.” She borrowed it. I used the excuse of asking for it back to call her again. Shes my wife https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: “He was disaffected from the day-to-day mechanics of politics,” Cameron Greider said, “but he was never disaffected from the notion that America could live up to its promise.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Skanda Amarnath / @irvingswisher: Interesting to read that the political evolution that Greider triggered in me was similar to the one that he went through. Greider was once a big fan of Robert Taft (when he was in college). Reading SoT helped snap me out of my Ron Paul phase... https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: “Asked in a 2009 interview with Princeton Alumni Weekly if the university had shaped his political philosophy, Mr. Greider said no.” hahahahah Classic quote from Bill in his NYT obit. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Darrell Williams / @willdarrell: One of his greatest contributions..... https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Dan Balz / @danbalz: Bill Greider was a brilliant and big-hearted journalist, for the Post, for Rolling Stone, for The Nation. He reported tirelessly, wrote elegantly and did everything with passion and conviction, a voice now lost to all of us. He taught me so much. RIP, Bill.
Blaine Harden / @blaineharden: He was kind to young reporters. Once wrote a story I'll never forget. It said don't bother reading Sunday newspapers—Go outside and get some exercise.
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: Bill had grown up privileged and often spoke to me of getting to know the labor movement as a young reporter at the Louisville Times. During strikes, he'd call me and he'd wanna know what people were saying in the strike. He cared a lot more about workers than pundits.
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: I'm so immensely sad and crying to hear the news of the death of my friend & mentor William Greider. When I got my first job in journalism, his office was down the hall from me and became an invaluable mentor to me. He was a deeply honest person not afraid of challenging power
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: The thing about Greider was if you were working on a story, he'd tell you “I know a plumber in Chicago, whose been organizing on these issues.” He was someone, who valued the expertise of workers more than experts
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: Once in the WH, Greider had a showdown w/ Bill Clinton when he called him a sell out. Clinton got pissed and yelled at Greider Later Clinton bragged to a biographer “I did everything but fart in his face.” - @davidsirota on the incident https://www.huffpost.com/...
