    @jonathanchait These sorts of media whines have 2 claims in common: That Cotton was calling for National Guard backup. >Cotton explicitly calls for the military to override local electeds and LEO’s. We’d call that martial law in any other context.

      @jonathanchait Some further discussion about this in a slightly different context below. TL; DR these whines are both-sides navel-gazing by profoundly un-serious both-sides enablers who care more about intra-media cocktail party pointskeeping than outcomes. @augustf/1587069059048378369?s=20&t=0igRvhXGguUEbZ0PL3AjTA

        @jonathanchait Also worth pointing out another of the many lies of omission Chait indulges in while laundering unattributed rumors from Eric Wemple’s blog. @jamisonfoser/1587530979714879488

      @jonathanchait That Bennet wasn’t fired for lying in very detail about how the column got on his page. > This is harder. But no one disputes that Bennet materially lied to readers and coworkers regarding his role in the column’s genesis. That gets you fired at any company I’ve been at.
