"It’s been incredibly sad to see my beloved news industry struggle so publicly with whether and how to tell the truth about the wanton, brutal killing of Alex Pretti -- someone who did absolutely nothing wrong –- at the hands of the masked federal agents terrorizing his city."

"It was particularly fascinating to watch the New York Times, where you could see bursts of bold, direct, honest coverage of what reporters had seen with their own eyes. And then you could sense a countervailing tide, presumably directed by more senior leaders, of coverage mired in both-sidesism and weasel words, carefully measured so as to not “take sides” even when one side was the truth and the other was lies."
