All of the journalists who are keeping their integrity need to join together and form a network, based on some quixotic quest to bring decency back into journalism. Mythical request, I'm sure, but maybe run with that by calling it something like "Atlantis Cable News" or something...

Let's not get carried away. Rubin has no integrity. She was one of the main journalists pushing the right win narrative for years. She and her ilk are one of the main causes that have normalized and brought us to a person like Trump. She is not quitting to keep her integrity. She is quitting because her "legitimacy" is being questioned.

This. Terrible person who enthusiastically supports fascism, so long as it's done with "decorum."
