At the Boston Marathon, I met a Vietnam War veteran who has struggled with PTSD since returning.

Finally, I’ll mention a mindset in vogue among a certain crop of media executives. Although they claim to want politics out of the newsroom — and I do, too —they simultaneously propose a political calculus for their journalists. The new owner of CBS and the current editor-in-chief of the news division, for instance, set an explicit objective of appealing to the center right and the center left. That is a political goal. It is not a journalistic one. And it is a far cry from how Jack Knight instructed his newsroom: “Get the truth and publish it.” That is a journalistic goal. Media owners who substitute political goal posts for news values find refuge in sophistry. They lay claim to ethics; instead, they subvert them. Their path may be one of commercial convenience. Or of timidity. Or of appeasement to regulators, legislators and the president himself. Or the instinctual path of those who see the press only through the lens of politics. But a news outlet of that formulation is fated to compromise ethics when a rock-solid story moving toward publication is deemed to fall outside the designated political comfort zone.

Come for @sulliview.bsky.social's focus on former WaPo EIC Marty Baron's spot on comments about the wildly political content objectives of both David Ellison & Bari Weiss; stay for the criticism of the NYT's Mrs. Bezos fluff.

I love when these guys say this, knowing full well that this is never gonna make it to discovery because the case will be tossed.

Dylan Cease looks like Wes Anderson said “I need someone to portray a pitcher in one of my movies who looks like he’s from the 1970’s.”

Nice! My daughter is running this year.

Congrats to Drew Carter for crushing the marathon today 💚💛💙

The degree to which "insider reporting" has become stenography has become remarkable.

Pay attention.

Well Philly faithful, you wanted the Celtics … so, how do you like them now? - The Boston Globe After the Celtics dismantled the Sixers in Sunday’s Game 1, the conclusions we are drawing are not grand — they are obvious.

The Sixers missed some makeable shots, and they'll shoot better than 4 for 23 from 3 in most games. But Game 1 illustrated confirmed that the Celtics should breeze through this series. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/20/s...
