I watched and listened to the Tim Miller interview with Olivia Nuzzi on 12/2 if I have the date correct. I don't know her and for that matter, I don't know Tim either. I am familiar with his writings and political past (Republican) and his move away from that mantle given the many actions of former Republicans. So, I do enjoy his new found perspectives over the last 10 years. The Nuzzi interview felt disjointed (not because of Tim) and it was clear to me she was abundantly afraid to cross the line regarding her relationship with RFK though he, presumably, didn't care about distancing himself from the revelations about their relation, drug use, etc. Miller tried and tried to kind her, gently, to recognize the impact (positive) of what she knew but didn't share with the powers that be in the Senate confirmation hearings. It was clear she was afraid, but not too afraid to writer a book sans the misery of where America now stands. I don't know RFK either. I just know the results of the policies he's injected into America and they are clearly not good. Correct, liberals (Democrats) were simply trying to expose what was in front of our eyes, and protect the sanctity of the craft called journalism (which should be truth telling and not conjecture). And yes, the truth, as it always does but sometimes not in time, revealed itself there wasn't/isn't a Blue MAGA. I've shared this saying before, we are simply passing through and we need to get a clue. America is burning from within and visible from the outside as well. The Midterms....

Interesting information. I’m an ordinary citizen; I do follow politics closely, out of interest, and always vote. I try to read/listen to journalists or commentators who have a reasonable reputation and bias isn’t that hard to spot. But some Democrats lost a lot of credibility by trying to keep Joe Biden (who I respect and am grateful for his service) in the race and in power. People in the public sphere who have bad intentions seem to often deflect, project and attack, in order to avoid scrutiny. Maybe this is obvious, but just to say us ordinary folks know a thing or two, and many of us are paying attention. We don’t have the money to buy power, unfortunately. That’s where all the smart, ethical and hardworking journalists (like you all at The Siren) keep the system working best. Thank you!
