@joshuasweitz.bsky.social is right. #RossDouthat is not worth getting bothered about. He jumped the shark a long time ago. Bhattacharya continues to do real damage to biomedical research and public health in America. Focus on him.
Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power.

Barely Out of Probation — Already the World’s Leading Foreign Aid Expert
Zero experience. Zero vision. Zero field time. But he brings whiteness, wealth, and the confidence to mansplain sixty years of global aid failure — all in just six months on the job.

It’s rather telling that #AI #writing is surfacing so in the #oped pages of #newspapers rather than in the #news sections. #LLMs can easily reproduce the kind of uninformed bloviation that characterizes so many oped pieces. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Ross Douthat knows terrible things are happening to people, so he's crying crocodile tears, superficial sympathy, so he looks a bit better. He's trumpy, and works for CBS who is no longer a legitimate news organization--they cater to trump and support the genocide in Gaza. #rossdouthat
also ICYMI: wrote about Ross Douthat and how nice guy conservatives rely on fascists to crush their opponents even as they wring their hands about it. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ross-douth...

In his recent piece in the NYT, #RossDouthat suggested that Canadians lack the “agency and influence that actual Americans enjoy” as a result of “the influence over the English-speaking world” that the U.S. supposedly has. I don’t want “agency.” I want universal health care and rational gun control.

To check if a pundit is being honest, ask “would he have made this claim a year ago, before he knew it would be a defense of Trump” and folks, I’m 100% certain Douthat would not have argued “The president needs to demolish the East Wing and build a palace” last year
