Shameful: The #BrokenTimes hands David Ellison op-ed space rather than challenging his bullshit pap and propaganda about journalism with the receipts he has already delivered at CBS. That would be journalism. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/opinion/david-ellison-paramount-warner-deal.html

Why did the #BrokenTimes put this picture of McConnell on its homepage? It's from May, but homepage illustrations have no captions. It leaves the wrong impression. Images matter.

Aw, #BrokenTimes is so concerned about its readers who can afford second homes worth more than $5 million. Some of them are confused. 🎻 Rollout of New York City’s Second-Home Tax Is Confusing Some Residents https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/nyregion/new-york-second-home-tax-rollout-anxiety.html?smid=tw-share

The #BrokenTimes pernicious addiction to understatement: "Trump might be pushing it." Voters Think All Politicians Are a Little Corrupt, but Trump Might Be Pushing It https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/magazine/corruption-voters-trump-midterms.html?smid=tw-share

Americans are struggling with high costs and the #BrokenTimes decides this is the moment to have a writer buy a $160 hat ("it fit my head like an avocado fits its pit") and $770 shirt. Read the room, editors. I Thought ‘Menswear’ Was for Other Men. Then I Touched the Perfect Hat. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/magazine/menswear-clothes.html?smid=tw-share

This is insane: the #BrokenTimes' Edsall proposes a Democratic platform that supports the death penalty and allows the Right to still set the agenda on trans.

Unbelievable. The #BrokenTimes (again) promotes pronatalism, a cousin to eugenics, when the reason the US has a population problem is not sex but Trump and immigration.

I don't know what diners the #BrokenTimes is frequenting, but I'm neither feeling nor sensing much "patriotic fervor" near me.

Journalists are in the business of choosing words and the #BrokenTimes chooses them terribly. "Windfall" is "unexpected good fortune". The correct word is "corruption".

"Unrivaled moneymaking run." No, #BrokenTimes, it is unprecedented CORRUPTION. Use the word. If you can't say this, you can't report what is actually happening.

Replying to @jeffjarvis@mastodon.social

"Trump's historical yarns often stretch the truth." No, #BrokenTimes, he LIES. At long last, use the word. If you can't say this, you do not tell the truth.

This is the framing the #MurdochJournal & #BrokenTimes wish for: Democrats at war. There's another framing: Democrats' broad tent welcomes many views and all are ready for war with Trump.

The #BrokenTimes is so desperate to devalue the Mamdani victories they lead with the awful Suozzi as their poster-boy "moderate" and end with the awfuller Yang. Sad.

"Unhappy" "Uneasy" No, #BrokenTimes, we are angry. You didn't cover the fascist takeover and you're not covering the revolution that will unseat the dictator.

Jeezus, #BrokenTimes. It's not a reality show, a drama: a "feud." This is autocracy, dictatorship, the destruction of the Constitution and democracy. Cover it that way!
