Somebody scolding you about your choice of words is annoying but not as big of a deal, free speech wise, as the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission threatening to revoke broadcast licenses of companies that don’t give positive coverage of a war in the Middle East.

This is a clear directive to provide positive war coverage or else licenses may not be renewed. This is worse than the comedian stuff, and by a lot. The stakes here are much higher. He’s not talking about late night shows, he’s talking about how a war is covered.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

@heyiamTannaz Shhh we’re quietly changing the way news gets announced
English
i would love to never read another headline or email subject with the word "quietly" in it ever again
English
@mattdrange not sure i totally follow but most headlines work fine w/out an adverb

@eringriffith Favorite alternative? With you, it's lazy. But also tough given the ever-growing volume of content masquerading as new ...

I wrote about "Silicon Valley," "Mountainhead," a new show called "The Audacity" and the OpenAI movie, "Artificial" in my latest story here:

about that "Silicon Valley" reboot...
Alec Berg, the HBO comedy's showrunner, told me he doesn't think the show would work in today's "post-optimistic" world.
"It would feel like a period piece."
English
@philwahba or... "we didn't issue a press release about it." but it makes me picture people whispering to each other and tiptoeing around!
English
@eringriffith agreed "quietly" just reveals that reporters weren't paying enough attention lol

SCOOP: Last year we reported extensively on Elon Musk’s desire to break into the data pipes of government to bypass the federal bureaucracy. That approach had major consequences — one of which we reveal today: A DOGE bro allegedly made off with volumes upon volumes of highly sensitive Social Security data - the agency’s “crown jewels” - which he downloaded on a thumb drive and brought over to his new job. Me, @MerylKornfield @FedGirlWaPo report on this unprecedented breach:

IPO market in the toilet.
First was MiniMed pricing low. Then PayPay. Now MDA Space, which goes well below its as-converted price in Toronto.
