    Does anyone else also hate reading Axios, not due to political takes but because of their ultra-condensed writing format?

    It’s so jolting and I always feel like I’m missing two-thirds of an article.

      Here’s some inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards and there will be more sprinkled throughout. Don’t you feel part of DC this way?

      • Important. This isn’t actually important. It’s the spin.

      • Noteworthy. There is some actual context and news in here but again there’s a lot of spin.

      • Why this is important. As a reporter I have a certain number of words to put in this section so I gotta do this. Hold on - I need a couple more. Done!

       

      Now here’s some more inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards. If you’re reading along - don’t you feel clever?
