Mark Brackenbury

Never thought I’d be retweeting this guy, but here we are…

@ronsterd89 1972-1974.

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

@FXRegan @_Matt_Marshall @BulwarkOnline I disagree about CNN — leans left but is not close to the approach Fox News takes on the right. I agree with your point that between the digital age and the Trump era, many news orgs are essentially picking a lane to survive. As a news consumer (and retired journo) I hate it.

@FXRegan @_Matt_Marshall @BulwarkOnline It is true that many media outlets *lean* left, in terms of choosing and framing stories from a left perspective while also reporting responses from other perspectives. That’s far different from openly cheerleading for the right and mocking the left, as orgs like Fox News do.

Former senior managing editor of the Washington Post Cameron Barr for @BulwarkOnline: "In the mirror, Jeff Bezos will see a man who grievously weakened an American institution dedicated to freedom and democracy at a time when those very ideals were under enormous threat. If ever America needed the scrutiny of power for which the Washington Post is justly famous, it is this moment. If ever the Post needed a new owner, it is now." thebulwark.com/p/jeff-bezos-m…

@grok @LangabNation1st @OleTimeHardball Oof. Not your best moment, @grok. Front: Steiner, Cohn, (Buccigross?) Middle: Scott, Roberts, Berman, Davis Back: Eisen, Gary Miller?, Patrick, Levy, ?, McKendry, Tirico.

Here's the full list of people in the 1997 ESPN SportsCenter anchors photo, left to right, back row first (based on visual analysis and historical sources; some IDs may vary slightly): Back: Bob Ley, Charley Steiner, Jack Edwards, Dan Patrick, Mike Tirico, Linda Cohn, Stuart Scott, Chris Myers, Rece Davis Front: John Saunders, Chris Berman, Robin Roberts, Chris McKendry, Brian Kenny, Rich Eisen

The decline from this photo, to the current state of ESPN….

@MaryMargOlohan Ethically, I agree with you here. But that’s a long way from a federal civil rights violation.

I keep thinking about the times I've been invited to join + cover "resistance" actions/protests. I always declined, aware that embedding + filming essentially meant I was partaking in + promoting that resistance. And that's not my role as a reporter.

@PhilNvestigates Agree. Problem is you have MAGA sycophants with an agenda in the press corps now.

Here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

@Hoopss Literally hundreds of thousands of parents and grandparents can responsibly have a glass of wine while playing a game with the kids.

Who drinks wine while playing games with kids?

@brithume As the saying goes, prosecutors can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Not a particularly high bar, as you know.

Which is not mentioned either in the headline or the story itself.

Whatever you think of Don Lemon’s politics, arresting a journalist for covering a story — and then seeing the White House celebrate it — is chilling. This is dangerous stuff.

@ChrisCotillo Seems like a reasonable approach to start. Ideally, Mayer shows enough eventually to win the job full-time with Romy as a utility guy.

One small thing that is off in the public roster discourse is "They add someone at 2B or 3B and Mayer plays the other spot." The real truth there will be: ""They add someone at 2B or 3B and Mayer and Romy platoon at the other spot."

@LauraLynn1960 @dontforgetchaos @janeclarejones Where exactly is the gun he’s reaching for?

@dontforgetchaos @janeclarejones There are 2 ways to look at this photo. 1. An agent pointing a gun 2. The suspect reaching for a gun

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come. This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

@sportsin_cle @HurtsForSix @RapSheet It’s huge because, as you say, the Raiders need a QB and the Giants don’t. So if the Giants have No. 1, the Raiders will be under pressure to trade up to ensure the Giants don’t trade with someone else. Unless there is more than one “franchise” QB they’d be happy drafting.

@HurtsForSix @RapSheet Even if they win they’ll still be within top 5 it’s not that it’ll be much different if they were to trade back further

An absolutely massive game looms in Week 17.

@SeanParnellUSA @SeanParnellASW Sean?

We told the Washington Post that this entire narrative was false yesterday. These people just fabricate anonymously sourced stories out of whole cloth. Fake News is the enemy of the people.

@BobbySkinner_ No. Defense can’t stop anyone in the clutch. Have to go for the win there.

Kicking the FG is the right decision here, Giants have had 90% of their runs go for 0 yards and you have Russ at QB

@Gridiron_Media_ Yes. It’s time.

Should the Giants fire Brian Daboll and Shane Bowen?

@DDuggan21 Fire Daboll tonight. Enough is enough. That 4th down call, to rely on that weak-ass defense to win the game, was the end.

Being in Chicago brings back memories of the end of Joe Judge's tenure. He was fired compiling a .303 winning percentage in two seasons. Daboll has a .185 winning percentage over the past two seasons. It's incredible how far things have fallen.

@BillMil37071380 @hweikelphoto In fact, yes. Credential gives photogs right to be on field, shoot and distribute photos. Anyone who takes a photo in the stands has the same right. It’s a public event with no expectation of privacy. That doesn’t mean she or anyone loses rights over the photo by posting it.

@hweikelphoto Did they get Drew’s permission to take his picture and distribute it on the internet?

@UltraMaga_John @hweikelphoto Your last sentence is incorrect.

@mpbrack1 @hweikelphoto Lol while I feel for her, there is nothing wrong with this. Many people may have that pic or a very similar pic. It was at a public event. Plus once you upload it to the web, it’s no longer yours

@CoachMillerOL @LandonTengwall I think when you factor in the expectations surrounding this team, this loss is much worse. The 2000 team was not good; ranked No. 22 to start season and blown out Week 1 by USC.

@LandonTengwall I sat in the stands in 2000 for a 24-8 home loss to Toledo. I was only 3 but Penn State lost to Rutgers in 1988. This is not worst in program history.

I think this is the worst loss in… Penn State Football history?
