Three Capitol Hill press orgs issue statements supporting CNN's Manu Raju after Sen. Martha McSally's “liberal hack” remark, calling it “inappropriate” — New York (CNN Business)The Capitol Hill press corps on Friday rallied behind Manu Raju, CNN's senior congressional correspondent …
Discussion:
Martha McSally / @senmcsallyaz: A) you are. B) here's the video. https://twitter.com/... pic.twitter.com/cfFdotLjFK
Manu Raju / @mkraju: Sen. Martha McSally, a Republican facing a difficult election race, lashed out when I asked if she would consider new evidence as part of the Senate trial. “You're a liberal hack - I'm not talking to you. You're a liberal hack.” She then walked into a hearing room.
Kyle Cheney / @kyledcheney: A little insight into how calculated this was. McSally attacked Manu in the 10am hour. She had registered the domain name “ http://LiberalHack.com ” by the 11am hour. (16:24 UTC = 11:24 EST) pic.twitter.com/TkBHt8S2BZ
@pressclubdc: Joint statement issued by @PressClubDC & @NPCInstitute in support of @CNN's @mkraju: “Manu Raju is a consummate professional who is respected by his journalistic peers and the people he covers, politics notwithstanding. Stating the contrary is factually and ethically wrong.” pic.twitter.com/DjgxI9aVpy
Jake Tapper / @jaketapper: The question was perfectly reasonable and topical, politely asked, and Manu is respected on the Hill by Democrats and Republicans. https://twitter.com/...
Paul Waldman / @paulwaldman1: The fact that McSally herself is promoting this suggests that she has decided if she's going to win in November it will only be by going all-in for Trump, in both substance and style. Watch for her to be celebrated for it on “Hannity” tonight, followed by a shout-out from Trump. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Baker / @peterbakernyt: Apparently daring to ask a straightforward question of a senator makes a reporter a “liberal hack.” https://twitter.com/...
Yashar Ali / @yashar: I'd also note (not that it matters to most folks) that Senator McCain loved and respected @mkraju and would often jokingly give him a hard time instead of disrepecting him. Other Republicans and Dems feel the same way https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jake Tapper / @jaketapper: Given that McSally was appointed to serve our the remainder of Sen John McCain's term, I asked a member of the family for thoughts on McSally's comments today. The response was “There's no love lost between our family and her.” https://twitter.com/...
Dan Pfeiffer / @danpfeiffer: A vulnerable Republican Senator having a meltdown before the trial even starts suggests that maybe McConnell's position on impeachment is not the winner Republicans want you to think it is. https://twitter.com/...
Gale Anne Hurd / @gunnergale: Not the temperament I'd want in my US Senator... We still live in a free society where the press can ask questions, and it seems she'd prefer we didn't. #ThursdayThoughts https://twitter.com/...

Melanie Zanona / @mzanona: Bottom line: whether you're Republican, Democrat, or Independent, you deserve to know how your senator is approaching one of the most consequential votes they can take.
@jimrutenberg: Dear Reading Public, When Senators use police to stop reporters from asking them questions in the place where they do the people's business — where you pay the electric, the water, the maintenance & their salaries — they are doing it to so you can't see what you're paying for.

Barbara Boxer / @barbaraboxer: GOP Senators, apparently unable to take the heat of the Trump impeachment, have imposed new rules to contain and separate them from the press.

PEN America / @penamerica: Read our full statement on these inappropriate, excessive restrictions for reporters covering the impeachment trial. https://pen.org/...
Katherine Tully-McManus / Roll Call: Lack of official guidance on impeachment press restrictions causes confusion
Alex Daugherty / @alextdaugherty: To be clear, this isn't a criticism of the police, who are doing their jobs, it's a criticism against the Senate rule makers who've decided that impeachment merits cutting off access to elected officials.
Alex Daugherty / @alextdaugherty: Was just blocked by Capitol police from continuing an interview with @marcorubio on Puerto Rico aid. He wanted to talk, but the insane rules in place on the press for the impeachment trial prevented me from asking another question.
Emma Dumain / @emma_dumain: When you're talking to a senator and he wants to keep talking to you but the cops said you can't talk in the middle of the hallway so you have to step behind a rope in order to continue the conversation. This is how ludicrous these restrictions are.

Peter Kafka / Vox: Spotify may buy The Ringer. Here's why that makes sense.
Nicholas Quah / Vulture: Spotify Reportedly In Talks To Purchase Bill Simmons' The Ringer
Kerry Flynn / @kerrymflynn: “Though the Ringer's website doesn't draw as many visitors as some of its largest competitors, such as ESPN and Bleacher Report, its podcast network generates significant revenue.” https://www.wsj.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Don't assume a theoretical ringer Spotify deal means existing ringer pods will become exclusive on Spotify. That's not what happened with gimlet, which is why you can still hear this episode of reply all on Apple podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Matteo Bonetti / @bonettiespn: Good for Bill. Reading his articles multiple times over throughout high school is what made me even want to get into this industry. His podcast is always first on my queue. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Heard last fall so may have been kicking around for a while. Overwhelming majority of ringer revenue is podcasting, so logical acquirers are a small group.
Andrew Bucholtz / Awful Announcing: Spotify is reportedly in early talks to buy The Ringer
Alex Weprin / @alexweprin: They must really want Bill's podcast as an exclusive, huh. https://twitter.com/...
Edmund Lee / @edmundlee: Spotify looking to buy @BillSimmons @ringer, good scoop from @AnneMarieSteele @BenMullin https://www.wsj.com/... Here's the why: The more podcasts Spotify has, the more total listen time is eaten up by something that isn't owned by a music label so more $$ stays with Spotify.
Jack Allison / @jackallisonlol: I wonder if they still don't pay their podcast hosts https://twitter.com/...
Daman Rangoola / @damanr: Makes a lot of sense. The Ringer is a podcast company effectively, their podcast network is incredibly impressive with of course BS's own podcast being a generational force. Spotify has been investing in podcasts heavily for a reason: https://stratechery.com/... https://twitter.com/...
M.G. Siegler / @mgsiegler: Gonna need an 🚨emergency pod🚨 on this topic immediately. https://twitter.com/...
James daSilva / @james_dasilva: I love The Ringer, though I am concerned with what we'll learn about revenue. Like, is 95% podcast, 5% website out of the question? My consumption of the site is pretty much the inverse of that, but I figure I'm the oddball. https://deadspin.com/...
Paul Kedrosky / @pkedrosky: Spotify is all-in on this whole content thing. Spotify in Early Talks to Buy Sports and Pop-Culture Outlet the Ringer https://www.wsj.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Fwiw I know Spotify's acquisition of gimlet a year ago was of intense interest for Simmons. But then again that was true for everyone in podcasting.
Kimberly Chin / @mskimberlychin: The deal would bring the streaming giant a podcasting network that attracts more than a 100 million downloads a month https://www.wsj.com/... via @WSJ
Dieter Kurtenbach / @dieter: Listen, we can poke fun and joke and laugh about Simmons all we want, but the dude has proven to be ahead of every major shift in sports media for pretty much his entire career. It's wildly impressive. https://www.wsj.com/...

Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Happy Friday. Here's what I know about the Spotify/Ringer talks, the state of Spotify and @BillSimmons' podcast businesses, and Apple's view of podcasts. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: @BillSimmons tldr: *talking since last fall *Ringer talked to WarnerMedia about a deal a year ago, talks ended before Spotify started buying podcast cos *Spotify spent $400mm on podcasts next year, looks like it may do more *Apple is unlikely to compete with Spotify for podcasts.
Jason Goldman / @goldman: I listen to at least three Ringer podcasts a week; hope the creators get paid. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Oh. While we are at it: Simmons talked to Turner/AT&T about a sale ~ year ago.
Chris B. Brown / @smartfootball: 1) wow, but logical 2) would be a fun deal to work on in terms of negotiating/structuring (I'm entirely uninvolved and just reading about it, to be clear) 3) fascinating to see Ringer financials disclosed if/when rolled up into Spotify's 4) Simmons/HBO will do extremely well https://twitter.com/...
Katie Notopoulos / @katienotopoulos: Congrats to Ringer employees, who will now get 6 months paid parental leave, so literally no reason NOT to fuck https://twitter.com/...
Web / @webbarr: Almost a year ago, I played the M&A guessing game with Spotify & podcast companies. Buying the Ringer is perfect for what they're building. Expect a high number. https://www.wsj.com/...
Jeremy Berke / @jfberke: Curious to know what the ringer's asking price is. $15 mm revenue last year is no joke for podcasts. https://twitter.com/...
Ian Thomas / @byianthomas: Woah, if this happens, talk about Spotify making a splash in sports podcasting pretty quickly. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: I don't understand podcast economics at all, but The Ringer having $15 million annual revenue and 100 million monthly podcast downloads sounds weird? Like, wouldn't you make more than that on 100 million *pageviews* a month? https://www.wsj.com/...

Samantha Ellis / @classicfilmgeek: Me, still trying to look on the bright side: I understand why they did it.

William Hughes / The A.V. Club: Disney kicks the Fox out of “20th Century Fox”
Joshua Benton / @jbenton: Disney knows branding, and it wants to avoid the taint of Fox News — a deeply polarizing brand that's now part of a different company. (Ironically, the “20th Century” part of the name will now outlive the “Fox” part — despite it being, you know, no longer the 20th century.)
Frank Pallotta / @frankpallotta: 20th Century Fox is an icon of Hollywood history. Its epic fanfare title card has appeared in front of The Sound of Music, Star Wars and other major films over the past 85 years. But in 2020, that name is no more. https://www.cnn.com/...
Joshua Benton / @jbenton: The Fox name lives on, of course: there's that polarizing news channel, local TV stations, multiple TV networks, TV production studios. His bizarre persistence in American life will continue on.
Eddie Robson / @eddierobson: Sidenote: 20th Century-Fox was created in 1935 by a merger of Twentieth Century Pictures (a company formed two years earlier by Joseph Schenck of United Artists and Darryl F. Zanuck of Warner Bros.) and the almost-bankrupt Fox Film. So this is a reversion to the 1933 name https://twitter.com/...

Zaki Hasan / @zakiscorner: People are already losing their minds over this, but it makes all the sense in the world. The TV networks (which Disney doesn't own) all still carry the Fox branding, so of course they want to create some corporate distance. That said, they'd best keep the Alfred Newman fanfare. https://twitter.com/...

Joshua Benton / @jbenton: But a corporate quirk has kept William's memory alive for decades. He lost control of his movie empire in 1930 — but the money men who took it over kept its name. William — born Vilmos Fried Fuchs in that Hungarian village in 1879 — had Americanized his last name to... Fox.

Gretchen Carlson / @gretchencarlson: What a shock ....... or anything to do with massive harassment issues https://twitter.com/...
David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: Some Fox News executives have taken issue with the assessment of some of their corporate peers that the Fox brand is toxic among large swaths of the public, while highly popular with its core base. (sounds like a politician.) Disney appears to have concluded that's the case. https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: This is a significant event. They polluted the information space, the Fox brand is poison, and a company that has to have its ear pitched to these frequencies knows it needs to separate. https://twitter.com/...

Makena Kelly / The Verge: Joe Biden wants to revoke Section 230
Makena Kelly / @kellymakena: joe biden really went OFF on CDA 230 in his interview with the @nytimes: “The idea that it's a tech company [Facebook] is that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately should be revoked, number one.” https://www.nytimes.com/... pic.twitter.com/wC3Cl5tJo4
Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: personally i love being lectured about the necessity of fact-checking politicians by a company that explicitly refuses to fact-check politicians
Cristiano Lima / Politico: Biden: Tech's liability shield ‘should be revoked’ immediately
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: what worries me is that he's just mad at Facebook and has decided to destroy the internet because of it
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: i was not expecting and was pretty shocked he said it...having...not previously addressed that anywhere else to my knowledge
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: The weakness of his logic here is staggering, and disqualifying https://twitter.com/...
Mike Masnick / @mmasnick: I had more important stuff to be working on this morning, but @JoeBiden said a whole bunch of stupid stuff about the internet, innovation, and free speech this morning, so that happened. https://twitter.com/...
Jess Miers / @jess_miers: Obvious issues with Biden's response aside [ https://nyti.ms/3629l0r ], I'm deeply concerned with what is actually an implicit call for RTBF laws here. But I'm also troubled by the blurring of privacy and defamation in this context. #Section230 (thread) pic.twitter.com/AbQ5in2wbD
Ethan Gach / Kotaku: Unsolved Mystery: Which Game Industry Exec Did Joe Biden Just Call A ‘Little Creep’?
Raju Narisetti / @raju: Really important to understand unintended consequences of proposed public/regulatory policy. This would be terrible for all the good that @Wikipedia & many other non-profiteering, vital knowledge projects do. @verge: @JoeBiden wants to revoke #Section230 https://www.theverge.com/...?
Dan Froomkin / Press Watch: Why is the mainstream media so gentle to Joe Biden?
Andy Stone / @andymstone: And the @nytimes helpfully includes in its annotation a note that 230 is also what allows the publication to host user comments on its site. Oh wait, they didn't do that!
Daniel Castro / @castrotech: Biden says the U.S. should completely eliminate Section 230 and pass European-style privacy laws... I'm not sure if I can keep reading. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jess Miers / @jess_miers: Yes, Section 230 defends against both claims of third party privacy violations and defamation. But we should acknowledge the deeper policy reason for why that is: preventing content and information suppression.
Obi-Law Kenoblake / @blakereid: Disappointing to see @JoeBiden drop a misinformed call to abolish Section 230 on the mistaken premise that doing so would somehow make Facebook liable for misinformation. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jeff Kosseff / @jkosseff: Probably worth noting today that Facebook is not the only platform that receives Section 230 protection.
Jess Miers / @jess_miers: Without Section 230, the inevitable perversion of defamation law as a privacy shield would be ruinous for the Internet and UGC as we know it. Just look to the current abuse of Copyright law as an ominous example. [ https://bit.ly/2NBRAyF ].
Evan Hamilton / @evanhamilton: Facebook's actions and Section 230 are not the same thing. This is dangerous thinking that could significantly destroy internet communities and free speech. https://twitter.com/...
Jess Miers / @jess_miers: But we should also recognize the very precarious position Section 230 is in when it comes to rewarding bad behavior (FB) and preserving user generated content. Facebook is simply not worth returning to an Internet of walled gardens.
Eric Owens / @ericowensdc: Section 230 ALLOWS free speech on the internet because it shields business owners from most liability when yahoos say false or libelous things. If you like to tweet, or use Facebook, or leave website comments, or post on Instagram, thank the wise legislators who wrote §230.

Chris Tolles / @tolles: This is a terrible point of view and how in the *world* is it “brave”? Good to know you don't like the hoi polloi getting to opine in public.
Andrew Lih / @fuzheado: I'm pretty sure Biden has not thought through all the ramifications revoking Section 230 for US-based Internet content sites, most of all, @Wikipedia https://twitter.com/...
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: he's very mad at Facebook. I can't remember the precise wording (it's all on camera!) but afterward when he shook my hand he said something similar to the creeps line and i think called them really bad guys or something along those lines and i was like yeesh
Ken Thomas / @kthomasdc: “I've never been a fan of @Facebook, as you probably know. I've never been a big Zuckerberg fan. I think he's a real problem,” Biden tells @nytopinion https://www.nytimes.com/...

Walter Isaacson / @walterisaacson: He is right. Brave stance. https://twitter.com/...
David French / @davidafrench: Repealing Section 230 would — in practical reality — result in the single-greatest wave of censorship in the modern history of the United States. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have re-interpreted its protection of individual liberty as a “giveaway” to Big Tech. Wrong. https://twitter.com/...
@qjurecic: I say this as someone who is deeply critical of 230: this is a TERRIBLE idea and speaks to a lack of understanding on Biden's part of the issues at stake https://www.theverge.com/...

Rebecca Ballhaus / @rebeccaballhaus: Buzzfeed reported on these pages last year when they were spreading a “Lock up Adam Schiff meme.” At the time, Hyde told Buzzfeed he didn't run the pages and said “I like positivity and like to follow all Trump media.” https://www.wsj.com/...
Craig Silverman / @craigsilverman: We revealed these pages back in November and tied them to Hyde at the time. I tweeted about this earlier this week. It shouldn't take more than a dozen paragraphs to credit us. His company was only added as owner of the pages after we went to FB last year. https://www.wsj.com/...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: I'm missing a detail, @rebeccaballhaus. The pages collectively have 120k likes and BuzzFeed reported they were violating policy last year? Why were they still alive?
