These fucking hacks.

Look, Biden's still Biden, but these fucksticks covered Trump's vast conflicts of interests for 0.5 seconds before just giving up when it became clear Trump simply didn't care about ethics.

Expect them to keep ringing this bell on Biden each week, however.

Biden having a foundation is pretty much the same as it was for Clinton, for Obama, for pretty much every President in living memory except maybe Jimmy Carter.

Yeah, these "foundations" and everything should be a point of concern. They're kind of weird.

But.
These political reporters suddenly flipping to covering Biden's "ethics quandaries" are also the ones who nodded off about the Trump Foundation, the hotels, the golf courses ...

Remember his taxes? That was maybe a week of coverage then forgotten.
Politico in particular can't be trusted to act in good faith when their editorial staff makes decisions like giving Ben Shapiro a platform and higher profile via their site.

They're going to spend the next four years watching for any cough or hiccup and calling it a plague.
Wouldn't it be lovely if we had a national press who were capable of reporting on ethics violations in an ethical manner, and not one determined to sensationalise every little thing as if it were the beginning of a massive scandal?
BENGHAZI! HER EMAILS! TAN SUITS!

We just lived through the worst Presidency in US history *and* a pandemic and they think they can get back on their bullshit without batting an eye.

... and they're probably right. https://t.co/eeXFzVYAtl
I would love to see a detail breakdown of how all these "foundations" function and why they more than likely shouldn't even exist.

But I wouldn't trust the NY Times or Politico or many other outlets to report on it with our best interests at heart.

Rock and a hard place.
The main reason is that Trump and his machine gave them headlines every hour just by letting Trump drive the narrative.

Not every headline was good for him, but he steered the conversation anyway.

Biden is making them fight to keep people's attention.

Biden is likely going to have an administration with message discipline much like Obama. Expect fewer leaks, fewer sensational articles.

The reality of that is going to drive the Trump-fed media bonkers.

Maggie Haberman, waiting for Ivanka I mean "TRUMP ADVISORS" to text her...
Remember that *Trump himself* makes a habit of calling reporters and giving off-the-record quotes as a "source close to Trump." He's done that for decades.

He was a boon to per-click-advertising over the last four years, and now outlets are losing that, and they're gonna freak.

https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
