Just realized that 10/31 - 11/3 is going to be a legendary stretch in NYC. First, Halloween on a Friday. Then the NYC Marathon on Sunday—the absolute best day of the year in New York. And THEN to top it all off, Media Summit | NYC on Monday, 11/3. (Obviously, the best of the three.) To complete the trifecta, you have just a *tiny* bit of time to request a ticket—mediasummit.nyc—or else miss: • 1-1 conversations with @ajs, @RandallLane, @erichippeau, @mikehofman, and @drubs • Discussions with the biggest stars of Substack and indie media, including @Emily_Sundberg, @EricNewcomer, @alexrkonrad, @Kantrowitz, and @hopeking • Panels with some of the best beat reporters covering AI, crypto, and media, including @ninabambysheva, @leomschwartz, @Yueqi_Yang, @RebeccaBellan, @RashiShrivast18, @haydenfield, @maxwelltani, and @oliverdarcy • The greatest moderators a guy could ask for, including legends like@sarafischer, @pkafka, @juliepsamuels, @nayeema, @kerrymflynn, @Hadas_Gold and @dansimon See y'all on the 3rd!

The @nytimes published a story today looking at our coverage of Charlie Kirk and some of our judgment calls. Why did we call him “right wing” and “charismatic”? How did we handle the video of his assassination? How do we treat unsubstantiated assertions? nytimes.com/2025/09/20/us/ch…

The Failing New York Times insists on using Liddle’ Peter Baker, a really bad writer and Obama biographer and sycophant, to write many of the long and boring Fake News hit pieces against me. The only two people with less talent than Peter are his “wife,” the lovely Susan Glasser, and, of course, Maggot Hagerman, who may be the least talented writer in the entire stable of New York Times’ MEDIOCRITY! There’s something really wrong with these people, and their SICK, TRUMP DERANGED EDITORS. They did everything within their power to help rig the Election against me. How did that work out??? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! Donald Trump Truth Social 3/23/25 09:26 PM

Politicians and their supporters often try to dismiss independent journalism, as the truth can be uncomfortable. But we will continue to report fairly and accurately, and stand behind what we uncover, regardless of which party is in office.
That is exactly right. The New York Times writes carefully crafted political propaganda with one goal: destroy Republicans, especially President @realDonaldTrump.

Independence makes journalism essential to democratic society, writes AG Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times, in @CJR, putting the long-standing commitment to “give the news impartially, without fear or favor” into today’s context. cjr.org/special_report/ag-su…
