Our #Congress has turned into Internet #trolls.
"In the video, posted early Saturday, Mullin is in the Capitol and recounts how a reporter shot and killed Rep. William Taulbee there in 1890, a year after Taulbee left office. There's a lot we can say about #reporters of the stories they write, but I bet they would write a lot less false stories if we could still handle our differences that way," nbcnews.com/politics/congress/

NBC News · Republican senator floats using violence against journalists who report 'fake news'By Megan Lebowitz

News media really has to stop asking entertainers what they think about world affairs. If they hadn't maybe we wouldn't now be in the mess we're in.

Good on Bill Burr for calling this out as weak and cowardly journalism.

"You need to get your balls back and it's not my job, I'm a dancing clown"

"Teams that fulfilled requests for government documents lost their jobs on Tuesday as part of the Trump administration's 10,000-person staff cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services. Their work, mandated by Congress since the 1960s under the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, gives the public a view of the inner workings of federal health agencies."

"#Jewish #reporters occupy a unique space. Our #history demands that we chronicle unimaginable horrors, yet the act of bearing witness exacts a heavy toll. This tension is as ancient as our people. Shelomoh bar Shimshon, who chronicled the Rhineland massacres of 1096, asked, “Why did the skies not darken and the stars not dim?” He likened the mass suicides of #Jews facing Crusaders to the binding of Isaac, sacrifices beyond comprehension."

Jewish Telegraphic Agency · The blessing and burden of bearing first witness to Jewish historyBy Ron Kampeas
In a quiet residential area of Brussels, tucked away among the modern and uniform facades of the Forest neighbourhood, sits a house that is giving birth to a unique project which could revolutionise our approach to the start and end of life. Here, expecting mothers and end-of-life patients live side by side, cared for respectively by midwives and volunteers.

Learn more about #media #literacy -- knowing the landscape of the mass media, & being critical of what is said, or aware of what is left unsaid.

In #Canada, the majority of large news orgs are owned and/or controlled by right-leaning companies -- think 'Fox News' in print form. While individual #reporters may be dedicated to the craft, their #editorial staff are likely picked to be deferential to their owners politics.

Continued thread

The change announced by Leavitt breaks decades of precedent. The White House Correspondents’ Association, a group representing #journalists who cover the admin, has long determined on its own which #reporters would participate in the pool.

Because presidents often hold events in smaller settings like the Oval Office, where not every reporter who covers #POTUS can fit, the #press pool format has long been used to ensure that journalists accurately record a president’s comments.

Reporters - just got emails from a credit building firm named Chime claiming someone logged into my account. I have no Chime account. I tried resetting a password on that site and there wasn’t a standard password reset, but a “consent to receive emails and texts” prompt. Looks like post CFPB chaos scamming. #CFPB #scam #reporters
