For being public and strident about how they see the world? its hard to answer that in the abstract, but i think, basically. . .i dont want to hire people who a fair—minded reader is going to think that they cannot totally trust on the subject. for any reason — including because they have such a public stake in a side of an argument that you as a normal person are going to feel like its going to be hard to trust them. im interested to ask that question, because obviously rupert murdoch is in...

Yeah, and i think theres a big opportunity to connect with people, and often if you talk to people about the news, they say, you need to read between the lines and means a lot of different — it means a lot of different things to a lot of people. everybody hates us these days, but for a wide variety of reasons. i think its an opportunity and i think, proving in various ways that youre open—minded and that you can and that the reader can trust you is totally central. and i want to ask you abou...

Of yours, or regular reader of political material who said, i just read this thing about steve bannon, and i think its right. i said, why? who wrote it? he said ezra klein, oh its right, -- what is steve bannon right about? >> so, one of the things they use in their -- truthfully, because hes really doing, it but also as rhetorical advice, steve bannon on his podcast has been pushing trumpists to volunteer as local polling volunteers to run for local office, become precinct volunteers. one thing...

He says, this feels terminal, and he should go quickly. and another mp i spoke to several days ago, who told me then that he thought borisjohnson could ride out this political storm, got back in touch today to say hes now damaging the conservative brand and it was a question of when, not if, he leaves number 10. no cabinet minister, though, has broken ranks and there is hope inside downing street that an investigation by a senior civil servant may say that the prime minister has not broken covid...

Are creating the book together. and the two of you, the writer and the reader, are creating the book together. and every reader reads a different book, and this is whats so beautiful about it. we all bring our own lives, our own sufferings, our ownjoys, our past to whatever it is we encounter in the world, and nothing, never more so than when were encountering art and particularly literature, which requires time. i can look at the paintings on the wall in a glance and see whats there, but if i p...

I guess i would say i dont think that consumers are broadly thrilled with the way the news industry is, and with that development. some are, absolutely, and in a subscription business, maybe enough are — for a lot of the businesses, its actually very successfulfor them — but my own experience of the times, in my own journalism, has been that people respond most strongly to the stories that dont disguise the journalist, arent free of sensibility, arent "just the facts, maam", but at the same ...

Well need, and honestly, having been prised away from various places, and maybe im particularly restless, i actually think many journalists are eager for a new thing. i think theres been a pendulum swing, as it always does in this industry, you know, ten years ago towards lots of interesting new stuff, and then sort of a rush of people like me back to the new york times, back to the safety of these big established institutions, and i think theres a lot of appetite among journalists, actually, to...

Because it would have been a clear violation of the law for pence to do what trump wanted. in that sense, its not surprising that a trump attorney would conclude that this was illegal because it was obviously illegal. but thats not always a foregone conclusion when you are talking about trump attorneys. people like rudy giuliani who, you know, dont have any resepect for the law. carol is also a close reader. what she says, the letter from kong today says they have concluded it may violate the co...

The county recorders office in arizona maintains, among other records, voter registration records. she eventually decided to run for that office herself. and she won. ezra klein reports, now shes the county recorder for a jurisdiction with nearly 1 million people, and more than 600,000 registered voters, in a swing state. she told ezra klein, one thing i was really struck by when i first started getting involved in politics is how much power there is in just showing up to things. if you want to ...

Which is one of the reasons why i find it ironic that whats going on today, with these claims about january 6, when the people who are pushing the january 6 allegations are thecl very ones who for four and a half years refused to recognize the results of the 2016 election. so this book that im writing is meant to, you know, tell my side of the story. get out my side of the facts. to tell the truth about my career in politics and government, and to let the reader understand what really was going ...
