BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Admits Government Will “Redact Every Republican” While “Leav[ing] All the Liberal, Democratic People” on the Epstein Client List; Says Ghislaine Maxwell Was Moved to a Lower-Security Prison As “A Benefit… to Keep Her Mouth Shut” “She [Maxwell] got transferred to a minimum security prison… It’s against BOP policy because she's a convicted sex offender.” @TheJusticeDept @FBI @AGPamBondi @FBIDirectorKash @FBIDDBongino

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC

Incredible data journalism. This Article shows exactly what "algorithmic wage theft" looks like. We need more than the minimum wage & data transparency: we need new laws of work to prevent algorithmic wage discrimination. bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…

Two @PulitzerPrizes for @invinst is amazing for Chicago but should not surprise anyone. Amazing and impactful work from @jamiekalven et al for more than a decade. You would not know Laquan McDonald without its work

@jayrosen_nyu I agree local is hardest hit — but it’s mostly disruption on the biz side not the content/trust side. My only local paper is a hyperlocal weekly. Folks of all political stripes say it’s valuable. Yet the economics are inevitable. This is why I have hope local has a path back.

7/ Local news is the hardest hit, and local is how people form an initial relationship with journalists and journalism— or don't. TV viewers still develop bonds with local anchors. But TV newsrooms lean heavily on the local newspaper's reporting, and that is where the crisis is.

Last week CNN asked me how I explain the downturn in the news industry: big layoffs, scant investment, no recovery in sight. A list of factors is not an explanation, I said. But that is what I have. So here's my thread. None of it should be news to people in the business. 0/

@baekdal I assume that’s a Covid bump on ages 45+? Super interesting how it barely registered on the younger demos. Broadcast network execs should take note that even locking people in their homes won’t make “the kids” watch more broadcast TV.

I wonder if this is a mistake, but it appears that Minooka put up 63 points in 2-quarters of football against Yorkville. They combined for 81 points between two teams. That’s a lot of points! @IHSA_IL @Minooka_Indians @yhsfoxes

The Washington Post cannot see that this is not a poll about Biden but instead a poll about journalism and its failures to inform the public. Polls are their self-fulfilling prophesies. They are damaging to public discourse.
