Clearly, these examples illustrate that not all news fits into a “just-the-facts” framework. We look to entertainment reviews and travel news to help us think about our leisure pursuits. We like to hear gossip and rumors about celebrities, knowing full well that they may be generated solely for the purpose of keeping them in the public eye. And although sports news tells us what athletes have been injured or the size of their multi-year deals, it also skews away from objectivity in many cases to emphasize the virtues of the home team and the vices of its opponents. This does not increase our skepticism about the ideology of the news organization, however. … [Read more...] about Why news distrust needs more sophisticated analysis to solve

The decision about whether to charge Weinstein fell to Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., for whom Boies had been a campaign fund-raiser. (Vance’s office says it had no interactions with Boies on this matter.) Vance dropped the investigation, reportedly because of concerns about Battilana’s reliability as a witness. Weinstein’s attorneys reached a confidential settlement with Battilana, which required her to sign a sworn affidavit disavowing her accusation. Auletta decided not to pursue his story further. He had gotten to know Boies well over the years as a journalist and … [Read more...] about The Bad, Good Lawyer

As Kushner wired the city, he was also advancing his family’s business interests. In 2006, Jared negotiated the purchase of 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion, a record sum for a Manhattan office building at the time. The transaction was financed by an onerous amount of debt. The following year, the Kushner Companies liquidated its apartment portfolio for $1.9 billion.

Kushner felt besieged, with few friends and no leverage. But he fought his way out, … [Read more...] about Jared Kushner’s Rise to Unimaginable Power
