@EricLiptonNYT @EmilyGlazer @joe_palazzolo RECEIPTS FROM THEIR WHATSAPP MESSAGES (oh, and I have oh, so many more!….)

ALSO, journalists, tagged here. PLEASE: Do better. Not because we are watching but because you know it’s the right thing to do in your position. If you want to campaign for corporate activism, do it in the open, not in the shadows of purported journalism. cc: NYT Board: @Rebeccavandyck, @mbronstein, @AGSNYT, @BethBrooke_EY and WSJ's @newscorp @Mumwf @rupertmurdoch

Eight senior @WSJ and @NYT journalists tell us how they really feel about @ElonMusk in their WhatsApp chats. 1) @KirstenGrind and @TeddySchleifer (both NYT): TS: “I don’t understand why you hate him so much.” KG: “Because he is the beginning of the end for humanity, he is something like the Antichrist.” KG: “So the strategy will be to try to make the billionaires fight amongst themselves and thus dismantle their board of directors.” “if we make the rich fight and play on their egos, we finally win the end of such a detestable person.”

Turning and turning in the widening gyre    The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere    The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst    Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it    Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.    The darkness drops again; but now I know    That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
