- MAEVE RESTON DOUBLES DOWN ON SUCKING UP TO HARRIS: Dear America – I will never apologize for encouraging a presidential candidate to try on a vintage rainbow sequin jacket #2020

- On Monday, CNN’s Brian Stelter said, “There was a rush to judgment” in the case of Jussie Smollett’s alleged hate crime, but it did not come from media outlets. “I think it was mostly in the celebrity press and among activists and among Twitter people. I think it was a really careful reporting by news organizations. But it all gets lumped in together at the end of the day,” he said.
