Jayson Blair Cracked the Code To the contrary, the New York Times and its agents have set out to intimidate and bully smaller media to shut up about its problems. The punishment is always the same: Criticize the New York Times, and the "newspaper of record" will never find any "news fit to print" about your projects unless you get into some kind of embarrassing trouble.

Who Is Dr Pablo Stewart and Why Is He Willing To Sacrifice Lives For Newsom Money? I just heard a debate on KQED between Dr Pablo Stewart and Chris Daly about Cash Not Care. While little new came up it was apparent that Dr Stewart had an agenda beyond reducing homeless deaths. I was struck by his references to SF as a magnate for the homeless and his unwillingness to condemn smear campaigns that by demonizing the homeless add to mental health issues. Is Stuart merely a hypocrite who wants to move homeless people out of SF rather than help them or is something else going on?...
