2019 feels like a character in a suspense novel, made even more suspenseful by the fact that 2019 isn't fiction. Glad to see smart work like this, as we all try to figure out what comes next (is this a happy New Year's tweet? I think it might be the closest I've got).

Also in his persistent game of double dare he’s playing, always, to a far right audience - reporters are a pawn in that, and they know it. Combative exchanges are the best possible outcome for that whole ecosystem bc they support/cohere wi a totally alternate narrative paradigm

That’s been his game all along & also underlies “fake news” accusations- basically, be nice to me, or I’ll call you fake/the enemy of the people/etc which will hijack, undermine and divert critical reporting. Rhetorically that’s very tricky whatever the nature of the reporting

It’s a different kind of reporting/situation for sure, but I think the underlying dynamic/trap is the same—by asking friendly questions, he wins bc no pushback to lies etc. And by asking combative questions, he wins bc those moments “prove” bias

Thank you again, it's so cool and weird to see an idea that was in your head, be in the world!

Hey thank you! I'm glad you think the term is helpful, turns out "docenting" isn't a word, but I think it communicates the idea pretty well / makes me think of someone directing my focus in a museum, and all the stuff that doesn't get noticed as a result

That was the focus of this article, yeah! It's tricky indeed, and ties more broadly into the "owning the libs" meme

Hey thank you! I've been so lucky to work with such awesome people & have also been given lots of freedom to focus on the stuff I'm most interested in/worried about, which is such a cool (well, and stressful, but that's ok) place to be. Happy holidays to you and thank you again!

Hey awesome, thanks for reading! That book has proven to be a pretty interesting/strange time capsule (though eventually I'll want to write a new preface to address all the post-2015 awfulness) and I appreciate you taking the time to revisit that history!

+1 to you for the support and human niceness! Here's hoping the structural problems will ultimately get structural solutions---- or at least, here's hoping we let go of the illusion that anything LESS than structural solutions will do anything (other than make things worse)

Thank is kind, thank you! -- I don't know, longterm, how confident I am that these changes will be made (capitalism is a hell of a drug), but only in 2018 could "have more anxiety" be a positive New Year's resolution
