Read a bit as well, not sure why - not into salacious shit but the relationship angle/attraction is always interesting and opp for self reflection lol, speaking of which
How did the closet turn out? ☺️

That's very interesting. I did not know about her relationship with Olbermann. So that must have come just before his thing with Katy Tur, which lasted from 2006 to 2009. Nor did I know that Olbermann dated Kyrsten Sinema, in 2010-2011. More amazing still, he's dated Laura Ingraham.

And I think the author of the article you cited makes some very good points about what's happened to journalism:

Here’s what we don’t say out loud: There’s no money in journalism anymore. No fame, no glamour, no prestige. But there’s lots and lots of money in media—in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers.

... We spent a decade-plus dismantling the institutional guardrails that once protected young journalists. Salaries plummeted. Job security evaporated. Newsroom mentorship disappeared. What replaced it? A ruthless attention economy where your Instagram and Twitter followers mattered far more than your editor’s guidance, where “personal brand” became the only portable asset in an industry of constant layoffs and collapses. We told a generation of talented writers: You’re not a reporter for an institution. You ARE the institution. Your access is your value. Your personality is your product.

And the ones that do get jobs apparently find themselves expected not only to do research and write articles, but also to appear on TV, post in social media, do podcasts, and more.

I've always liked Nuzzi. She's good at what she does. And I suppose she's once again landed on her feet. But I'd say having to receive that godawful "poetry" from RFK Jr was a very heavy price to pay. Eeeeuuuuwww.
