Today’s Corporate Press Would Have Snitched On The Founding Fathers
From The Federalist:
Legacy media outlets don’t want social media users to post online anonymously because they want them to face retribution for what they post — even if it’s true.
Biden Administration To Create Ministry Of Truth
From The Post Millennial:
The Department of Homeland Security is setting up a new board designed to counter misinformation related to homeland security, with a focus specifically on Russia and irregular migration. The board will be called the “Disinformation Governance Board, and will be headed by executive director Nina Jankowicz.
Corporate Press Losing Trust
From News Busters:
Globally, 67% of people surveyed worry that journalists and reporters are “purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations,†a new Edelman survey finds. That’s up 8% from last year. It’s also virtually tied with the 66% who say their country’s government is intentionally misleading or lying to them (up 9%).
NBC Tried To Dox Rittenhouse Jurors
From The Federalist:
Judge Bruce Schroeder announced Thursday morning that MSNBC would no longer be permitted in the courtroom of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial after someone who identified himself as a producer working for MSNBC was pulled over and arrested when he blew a red light while following a bus transporting the jurors.
The man identified himself as James J. Morrison, employed by MSNBC, and said he had been instructed by MSNBC’s Irene Byon in New York to follow the jury bus, according to the judge.
A Soviet Perspective On The Current Censorship Climate
From Aero Magazine:
The liberal media establishment went full Pravda on some of the crucial stories of the year, such as electoral politics, the handling of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests—to the point where David Satter and Matt Taibbi, long-time observers of the Soviet Union, drew parallels with that country’s ideologically captured, propagandistic press.
NYT Claims Babylon Bee “Pretends” To Be Satire
Popular satirical website The Babylon Bee accused The New York Times of “trafficking in misinformation” after the Gray Lady reported the site publishes false information “under the guise of satire” when the site openly admits that it’s satire.
The Times made the claims in a feature, “For Political Cartoonists, the Irony Was That Facebook Didn’t Recognize Irony,” that was published on Friday. The report detailed how Facebook has had trouble identifying satire when policing its site for frowned-upon political content.
AP Discouraging Use Of “Riot”
From National Review:
The Associated Press Stylebook was amended this week to discourage the use of the word “riot†to describe violent protests, instead expanding the definition of “protest†to include violent demonstrations.
“Use care in deciding which term best applies: A riot is a wild or violent disturbance of the peace involving a group of people. The term riot suggests uncontrolled chaos and pandemonium,†said the AP Stylebook, which sets style guidelines followed by many mainstream media publications.
YouTube Bans Defense Distributed Press Conference
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 7/Sep/2018 18:41
From The Washington Examiner:
The video in question, which has already been reposted by other accounts on YouTube, shows a press conference Wilson gave for a collection of reporters from major media outlets including the Associated Press, New York Times, Houston Chronicle, and others. The 46-minute video features Wilson explaining his reaction to a recent ruling by a federal judge forcing the State Department to abandon its settlement with Wilson, which would have allowed him to publish certain gun files, including his design for a gun made mostly from 3D-printed components, pending further legal action. After explaining that he would begin to sell the files online and sharing them over email or other secured means of transmission in response to the judge’s assertion that doing so would likely be legal, Wilson then took questions from the press for about 40 minutes.
NYT Continues Irrational Fear Of Guns
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 23/Sep/2016 12:30
From The Federalist:
Nobody—not even the editorial board of The New York Times—is free from the moral responsibility to do a little research before commenting on a matter of public import. If you are going to talk about a contentious public issue, you should learn a little bit about it beforehand to avoid misleading others and making yourself look profoundly foolish.
Unfortunately the Times’s editorial board recently ignored this timeless advice and issued an editorial that was essentially a grand exercise in willful ignorance. According to the Times, Missouri’s recent passage of a “constitutional carry†gun law has transformed the Show-Me State into “the shoot-me state.†The Times says the law represents “a wholesale retreat from gun safety in the state.â€
French No Longer Publishing Names of Terrorists
From American Renaissance:
“The sites and newspapers that produce this information cannot excuse themselves from self-examination on several fronts. Since Isis terrorism first appeared, Le Monde has changed its practices several times,†the newspaper said.
It first chose not to republish images from Isis propaganda documents. Then, after the attack in Nice on 14 July, when a truck drove through crowds enjoying the Bastille Daypublic holiday, Le Monde said it had decided to “no longer publish photographs of the perpetrators of killings, to avoid the potential effect of posthumous glorificationâ€.
Two views on McChrystal’s firing – through the eyes of business leaders
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Opinion on 25/Jun/2010 01:48
Clint Greenleaf, Founder and CEO, Greenleaf Book Group
“First off, lets be honest. It’s not accepting a resignation, it’s firing the general for one specific comment made (and several from unnamed sources who work for him).
The specific comment wasn’t bad. It was what McChrystal thought was accurate — that the president doesn’t know as much as he should about the war. True or not, I don’t think he was out of line at all. In fact, he tried to make the same point to Obama during their first meeting.
I have the highest respect for our military and think the president made a huge mistake. It makes him look petty and insecure that he can’t handle someone who disagrees with him.
“As a CEO, I relish an opportunity to hear what my staff really thinks. Especially when it comes from a respected person who is good at what they do.
Anyone who has met me knows I’m not perfect — and my staff isn’t there to hide my flaws from me. They work with me to show me where I can improve, and if that means calling me out when I make a mistake, I want to hear about it. Even if it’s in public, and even if it makes me look like I made a mistake.
“The real question is, what is more important? To make the right decisions for the country or to try to protect the image of our leader?”
Rob Adams, Director, Global Moot Corp Program at the University of Texas
“I think the context needs to be set here — this is a military organization with an established chain of command that follows orders from the top.
All the commentary on the situation pointed to those in the military understanding this and expecting severe action, and those more on the commercial side expecting lass harsh action.
The real question is, What would McChrystal have done to those reporting to him in the same situation? I suspect similar treatment to what Obama did.”
The bottom line for President Obama was, “I welcome debate among my team, but I won’t tolerate division.”
