Ashley Parker / @ashleyrparker: Fox News just cut away from @PressSec, saying the network could not in good conscience continue to air her false claims, for which she has provided no supporting evidence.

Kim Zetter / @kimzetter: White House official says WH staff would ask Fox News to “tamp it down a bit” whenever Fox criticized Trump initiatives, out of concern Trump would retaliate by ripping up initiative out of spite. “[Fox News] usually were pretty good about working with us” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Ali Velshi / @alivelshi: When Fox called AZ for Biden, Trump erupted in anger, telling aides to “get that result changed.” Meadows phoned Fox's decision desk.

Matt Gertz / Media Matters for America: The Trump-Fox feedback loop is powering an assault on democracy
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: This from Cavuto, who has been more outspoken than his colleagues on Trump's lies, is good.

Britni de la Cretaz / @britnidlc: the NYT is notoriously bad at covering LGBTQ+ issues so this isn't surprising but even still, it would be nice if simply acknowledging our existence & covering the news that impacts our community wasn't seen as “activism” 🙃 https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Matthew Yglesias / @mattyglesias: This story reveals a dynamic present in many media companies, where the journalists who cover politics are often more moderate than the other people who work there. https://nymag.com/...

@anildash: “During the town hall about the Cotton op-ed, one data engineer said on Slack, ‘How many such process failures would be tolerated in tech?’” https://nymag.com/...
Katelyn Burns / @transscribe: Maybe this is why none of the NYT's 1700 journalists on staff are openly trans. https://twitter.com/...
Rebecca Green / @wordofgreen: I mean the NYT also dead named Aimee Stephens in her own obituary so the bar for them is super low. I will never get over people telling me that being trans makes existing safely in public a political issue. https://twitter.com/...
Josh Sternberg / @joshsternberg: The New York Times newsroom kremlinology is a microbeat within media reporting. I'd like to see these stories about USA Today. https://nymag.com/...
Robby Soave / @robbysoave: These stories are increasingly lazy and pointless, I feel. Everyone, given a guarantee of total anonymity, will complain about their jobs, bosses, etc. At some level it's just gossip. https://nymag.com/...

Andrew Ba Tran / @abtran: Of all the fronts on which the @nytimes was being pushed to change, the strongest insurrectionary energy was coming from legions of newsroom-adjacent employees in digital jobs that didn't exist a decade ago: app developers and software engineers. https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Dylan Matthews / @dylanmatt: It's a bold strategy, @ebruenig, let's see how it works out https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Josh Barro / @jbarro: This is weak.

Jesse Singal / @jessesingal: Everything I've heard suggests people like this are having a pretty profound influence on the Times, and even though it remains the best and most important outlet in the country, you can often see the results. Just an unspeakably toxic Slack culture. https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Cerno / @cernovich: Fascinating deep dive into generational conflicts in media. https://nymag.com/...
Michael Tracey / @mtracey: So the main takeaway here is that @bariweiss was exactly right about the institutional dynamics beclowning the New York Times, despite the retributive meltdown her accurate description provoked https://nymag.com/...
Nick Gillespie / @nickgillespie: It is possible for @nytimes to be bigger than ever in terms of reach and weaker than ever in exerting influence. 50 years ago, it could make or break books, plays, movies, politicians, etc. Now it is one voice among many and fast losing hegemony. https://nymag.com/...
Jonathan Chait / @jonathanchait: Obvious takeaway: the boomers and the millennials are BOTH toxic, only GenX is good https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Jamison Foser / @jamisonfoser: Texting while driving is reckless and dangerous. I leave it to the reader to decide whether that is an apt metaphor for much of the New York Times' political desk's coverage of Donald Trump. https://twitter.com/...
Kenneth P. Vogel / @kenvogel: I'm late to this, but what people don't understand is that @maggieNYT's dominance has little to do with Trump. She owned the Clinton beat, too, & would have been the preeminent White House reporter had @HillaryClinton won in 2016. She's just that good. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@therealhoarse: The NYT's political and opinion operations have the longest arms in journalism. Nobody can pat themselves on the back like these guys. https://twitter.com/...
Jon Ralston / @ralstonreports: Fantastic piece on @maggieNYT, peerless reporter of Trumpworld. She endures nastiness from both sides & self-appointed media critics. No one works harder, does better. She was great on a panel to help @TheNVIndy in Feb. I saw her checking her phone the whole time! One of a kind. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Dreyfuss / @bendreyfuss: In addition to being an amazing reporter, Maggie is also one of the nicest people in this dumb industry. https://twitter.com/...

Casey Johnston / @caseyjohnston: this is just “being manipulative” ❤️ https://twitter.com/...

Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: I have numerous non journalist friends, relatives, etc. who have relied so much on her reporting that they assume *all* reporters are this prolific & that I (the journalist they know) am just a horrendously lazy outlier. and I have to tell them that nobody can hope to match her https://twitter.com/...

Peter Sagal / @petersagal: Fitting tribute to the premier chronicler of the Trump White House. https://twitter.com/...
Brianne Pfannenstiel / @briannedmr: I'm sorry I got to “Ms. Haberman topped out at 599 bylines in 2016” and had to pick my jaw up off the floor. This woman is a machine. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Malu Gaspar / @malugaspar: For the last four years, she has been the human incarnation of a nation riveted (...) by Mr. Trump, a reporter driven by a kind of curiosity that feels more like compulsion to find out what is going on -and has dragged us all along for the harrowing ride.👇https://www.nytimes.com/ ...
Dan Barry / @danbarrynyt: Honor is due to @maggieNYT: wife, mother, daughter, sister, generous colleague, Twitter worrier - and extraordinary, pace-setting journalist. She slowed down long enough for a chat with @benyt. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@emptywheel: That @benyt profile of Maggie Hab CONFIRMS that she tweeted abt the Hunter Biden story to raise the focus on the FBI claim.

Nick Corasaniti / @nytnickc: Just an astonishing testament to @maggieNYT For the past four years, she's **done more than a story a day, on average** Think about that. And then think about how consequential, smart and essential those stories were. Hats off to truly the best! https://www.nytimes.com/...
Josh Dawsey / @jdawsey1: A badass competitor and a good person. Has taken too much criticism over the past few years. I fear her byline every day. https://www.nytimes.com/...
