It’s time for once and for all acknowledge that fixers are essential workers for western media outlets. Covering conflicts wouldn’t be possible without them. The precarious work conditions and no bylines for them should end ASAP

The new version of a media ethics textbook added this sentence: "... pundits such as Sean Hannity or Anderson Cooper...build loyalty by affirming the beliefs of their audiences, cherry picking information that serves that purpose." False balance?

I wrote a post about govt coercion & 1st Amendmt which argues a) Trump social media lawsuits have some merit and b) Biden admin may have violated 1A with their health misinfo advisory. Plenty for everyone to disagree with! So please check it out. lawfareblog.com/trump-lawsuits…

The deplatforming of the fringe groups has the effect that they are flocking to better secured, decentralized communication networks. While this curtails their recruiting power In the short term, it also complicates monitoring and studying them. Might be a long term net loss.

Not sure what’s more troubling, Lightfoot’s law department trying to obtain a prior restraint, her claim that she was blindsided by it, or the city’s continued denials of valid FOIA requests. #themorethingschangethemoretheystaythesame chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-ch…

So the video Bannon streamed live saying Dr. Anthony Fauci and Christopher Wray should be beheaded has been on Facebook for 10 hours and has 200,000 views. 10 hours. Remember that next time Zuckerberg talks about all the moderators and A.I. they have.
