There is confusion among some @nytimes columnists, (i.e., #BretStephens), journalists, clinicians & others about what we can conclude from the @cochranecollab review on masking. @HealthFeedback has a wonderful primer on the subject. You should read it. 1/ healthfeedback.org/claimreview/mu…
The primer is meant to push back on a specific claim made after @cochranecollab was out: FULL CLAIM: Review “failed to find even a ‘modest effect’ on infection or illness rate”; “the CDC Grossly Exaggerated the Evidence Supporting Mask Mandates”. 2/
As @HealthFeedback says: "Claims that face masks are ineffective at reducing the spread of COVID-19 based on a Cochrane review didn’t take into account the limitations of the review." 3/

dishonest, and disingenuous attackers of President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris.
Some of the methods they will use are:
• Manufacturing a controversy/narrative to advance a lying talking-point,
• Engaging in False-equivalence,

Missed this pointed column from @karaswisher last week on more than Tom Cotton (he's a representative case study). Fractured digital 'spaces' should not enable speakers to sidestep comments made in one space when pontificating in another.

And yeah, the @nytopinion section screwed up royally with the Tom Cotton screed.
I'm rolling my eyes at the intellectual dishonesty exhibited in #bretstephens comment here (nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opi…) but with zero surprise.

Good on Kathleen Kingsbury @nytopinion for publishing discerning voices, voices of people who understand the digital environments, like @karaswisher's.

Extravagant success of Ashkenazi #Jews in wide range of intellectual domains serves as solid refutation to already exhausted #woke narrative of oppression, victimhood, & intersectionality. Why?/1

"In the first half of the 20th century, despite pervasive and continuing social discrimination against Jews throughout the Western world, despite the retraction of legal rights, and despite the Holocaust, Jews won 14 % of Nobel Prizes in literature, chemistry, physics..."/2
"..., and medicine/physiology. In the second half of the 20th century, when Nobel Prizes began to be awarded to people from all over the world, that figure rose to 29 %. So far, in the 21st century, it has been 32 %. Jews constitute ~0.2 % of the world’s population."/3
Alrighty then.
1 - @davekarpf, I read the tweet and laughed. I regret not retweeting it.
2 - #StreisandEffect writ large (@bretstephensNY you should Google this)
3 - Do any American conservative pundits or pols understand what "punching down" means?

I found this @Slate essay from 2017 about a @bretstephensNY interview with @voxdotcom to be enlightening. Thank you, @bing, for putting it in the right sidebar when I went looking for Brett's age (45)

I didn’t have the full story before, but if Bret Stephens is feeling cheated I will ABSOLUTELY come to his house and insult him in front of his wife and children. thedailybeast.com/new-york-times… via @thedailybeast
Although now I feel bad because I’m pretty sure #BretStephens is a frustrated bottom who, thanks to his uptight upbringing, lacks the ability to cope with and verbalize his desires.
“Why don’t you come to my house and call me a filthy insect in front of my wife and children!” #BretStephens typed, pausing to wipe his sweaty palms on his thighs. Why was it suddenly so hot in this newsroom?
The PERFECT thing is that this asshole tries to intimidate an online critic by CCing his boss, when called out in public quit Twitter, and then sought out the platform *where he knew he wouldn’t be held accountable for his actions* to complain. This is WEAPONS GRADE ENTITLEMENT.
The ability of #BretBug to think “I’m going to use my unfettered access to national television to complain about how a literary prof oppressed me with a joke” and not see the irony there should be immediately disqualifying for any job as a public thinker or writer.
I’m a little hurt, obviously, as I’ve called out #BretStephens as a preening intellectual lightweight lickspittle multiple times and gotten way more retweets than this professor and he’s never tried to contact my studio heads.

. @SRuhle @MSNBC To sum up#DonaldNorcross & #BretStephens: #Trump is the same guy he was 2 yrs ago when #MikePence, #MittRomney, #LindseyGraham, #MarcoRubio, et al, ALL WARNED US that Trump is dangerous. A egocentric know nothing. A traitor. A criminal. & instead of sticking...1
@SRuhle @MSNBC ...to what they know damn well to be true, they’ve elevated this piece of shit above the best interests of our country, our citizens, the world. Lest we forget the words of #TedCruz whose wife was viciously attacked by Trump & who is now supporting him. HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE...2
...for a politician who doesn’t have the moral fortitude to even defend his own family? Texans better think long & hard about having someone like that represent them. Because it’s clear: the GOP is no longer interested in what’s best for the country./3
