David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: Under Pearlstine and new owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, the paper went on major hiring spree to restock newsroom. The numbers did not notably improve.

David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: At the L.A. Times, a newsroom “uprising” over racial equity. Exhibit A: There is one black reporter among nearly 90 ppl on the metro desk. She was turned down for raise repeatedly despite pleas from city editor it was a “moral” issue. My NPR story: https://www.npr.org/...
David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: Exec Editor Norm Pearlstine tells NPR: “I would say in the case of black journalists, that we do not have enough journalists in positions where they are able to help us tell stories that really need to be told.

David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: The rancor arises over hiring/treatment of black journalists, as well as coverage of Floyd protests.

Ken Meyer / Mediaite: Fox's Chris Wallace: ‘The Vast Majority of Democratic Leaders’ Don't Support Defunding the Police
@nytmedia: Chris Wallace is comfortable being a bit of an enigma. For every Trump loyalist who views him as a heretic, there is a liberal who wishes he'd denounce colleagues like Sean Hannity. (To be clear: He won't.) https://www.nytimes.com/...

Sam Thielman / @samthielman: I really wish this had dealt with the supposedly evenhanded content of Wallace's work. He persistently refers to public benefits as “entitlements” including during the 2016 debate and he's obsessed with abortion. He's not a good-faith actor. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Mehdi Hasan / @mehdirhasan: The problem with this otherwise decent NYT profile of Chris Wallace is its - again - failure to name the problem. Fox's primetime problem is not that it's ‘pro Trump’ but that it boosts white nationalism, & crazy conspiracism. Is Wallace ok with *that*? https://www.nytimes.com/...
