Teri Kanefield / @teri_kanefield: 12/ John Eastman ran for Attorney General in 2010. He didn't make it out of the Republican Primary. Wanna know who won the election for AG? Yup, Kamala Harris. https://www.sfexaminer.com/... Why wasn't that disclosed in the article, @NancyCooperNYC ?
Teri Kanefield / @teri_kanefield: This is BS Focusing on the 14th Amendment instead of the place of Harris's birth doesn't make the argument less racist. @NancyCooperNYC should study the history of the 14th Amendment (added after the Civil War to give equal rights to Blacks) to see why undermining it is racist. https://twitter.com/...
Joyce Alene / @joycewhitevance: Questioning @KamalaHarris's citizenship & eligibility to be president is the new birtherism. Let's just put it to rest right now. She was born in California & is fully eligible. https://twitter.com/...
Teri Kanefield / @teri_kanefield: 14/ John Eastman has been trying to help Trump figure out a way to get around birthright citizenship. The argument is that actually, the 14th Amendment doesn't allow for birthright citizenship, something that makes ZERO sense. . . https://www.thepantheronline.com/ ...
Mark Sumner / Devil's Tower: Newsweek claims birtherism article about Kamala Harris isn't about race—it's absolutely about race

Asha Rangappa / @asharangappa_: This is settled legal question. The article misstates the case law. You did not disclose the author's personal interest. Your editor, whom you claim is a “published constitutional scholar” literally published his first and only piece in the St. Thomas Law Journal this year. Fail. https://twitter.com/...
Kyle Feldscher / @kyle_feldscher: Assuming it to be or simply reading the op ed itself? https://twitter.com/...

Jim Swift / @jimswiftdc: What changed?! https://twitter.com/...
Mark Jacob / @markjacob16: I don't retweet The Hill or Newsweek because they amplify dishonesty. They're hack orgs trolling for clicks.
Julian Sanchez / @normative: This is, to be clear, absolutely a crank argument, notwithstanding Eastman's credentials. If people treat it as racist, it's precisely because no reasonable person reading the history of the 14th Amendment and the relevant case law could believe that this is a serious question.
Michael McAuliff / @mmcauliff: @jbendery PS. It's basically the same argument against birthright citizenship made by the guy who WON the Dred Scott case. (He lost it in the floor debate on the 14th Amendment.)
Craig Harrington / @craigipedia: Great work, @NancyCooperNYC and @josh_hammer. The columnist you're both defending doesn't even understand the facts of Mexican Repatriation, wherein between 300,000 and 1 million American citizens were unconstitutionally rounded up by law enforcement and sent to Mexico. https://twitter.com/...
Jennifer Bendery / @jbendery: Not only does this piece obviously echo the racist birtherism Obama faced for ages, but this guy ran against Kamala Harris for California AG and it's not mentioned anywhere in the piece. https://twitter.com/...
Julian Sanchez / @normative: Are the implications of Eastman's crank views restricted to the presidency? It suggests many thousands of Americans born in the U.S. who grew up (correctly) believing they are citizens are actually not citizens & would need to be “naturalized”. https://www.newsweek.com/...
Julian Sanchez / @normative: Newsweek's defense appears to be that Eastman's resume means we have to treat this dishonest nonsense as a serious legal argument. But it isn't. It's hack work.

Josh Hammer / @josh_hammer: Some of our readers have reacted strongly to the op-ed we published by Dr. John Eastman, assuming it to be an attempt to ignite a racist conspiracy theory around Kamala Harris' vice presidential candidacy. A response. https://www.newsweek.com/...
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: Telling us your racism isn't racist doesn't make it not racism. https://twitter.com/...
Connie Schultz / @connieschultz: Yes, sooo misunderstood.

But the concerns about divided allegiance...” https://twitter.com/...
@angryblacklady: I want to let loose a series of expletives that would probably shock even me, so let me just say: This is racist nonsense and you goddamn well know it. She was born IN OAKLAND to parents who were subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. This Birther 2.0 shit won't fly https://twitter.com/...
Kurt Eichenwald / @kurteichenwald: It is beyond disgusting that @Newsweek has allowed its pages to be used as the opening shot of birtherism 2.0. I have been embarrassed by many things my former employer has done and become, but this is the first time I have seen racism appear in its pages. In the *office*, yes. https://twitter.com/...
April / @reignofapril: According to @DrJohnEastman, Ted Cruz, who was not born in the US, CAN run for President, but it's an unsettled question about whether Kamala Harris, who was born in California, is eligible. Birtherism at its finest. Do better, @newsweek. @NancyCooperNYC https://twitter.com/...
Juliette Kayyem / @juliettekayyem: Nice try. Even if column is about an arcane 14th Amendment legal debate, you never explain why the “debate” is in context of Harris. The conclusion about her eligibility is “it depends.” There are a lot of arcane legal debates. Why this one? Why now? Just say you got played. https://twitter.com/...
John Dean / @johnwdean: It's started. Radical conservative legal scholars are suggesting Harris in ineligible to be VP. I debated this fellow about Citizens United, when he claimed (incorrectly) the holding would not result in a flood of corporate money in politics. Wrong again! https://www.newsweek.com/...
Neeha Curtis: Let's talk about systemic racism & the people in power who decide to provide platforms, & validate racism.
Soledad O'Brien / @soledadobrien: This is pathetic and you are pathetic: https://twitter.com/...

Dell Cameron / @dellcam: More than 12 hours after issuing a correction, the @NationalReview is still running a story on its site claiming one person at Twitter, who used to work for Kamala Harris, decides which Trump tweets get fact-checked. That's not his job and no single person at Twitter does that.
@larakate: @AriFleischer Hey Ari! Nick is actually on our comms team — much like your former job. He does not make policy decisions. I would expect communications professionals to check stories like this before sharing them so broadly.

Brandon / @bborrman: Ari, he's a spokesperson. The article is 100% incorrect. He has nothing to do with enforcement. You're RTing completely fabricated information. https://twitter.com/...
Cristiano Lima / @viacristiano: Update: NRO has rewritten this headline and added quite a footnote correcting the error https://www.nationalreview.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Menotti Minutillo / @44: @Kantrowitz the correction is as bad https://twitter.com/...
Dell Cameron / @dellcam: Here's the @DailyCaller story by @VAKruta from Saturday. The lede says Nick Pacilio was just hired. Kruta also cites @seanmdav as her source: https://web.archive.org/... Again, Twitter says Pacilio has been working at Twitter for OVER FIVE YEARS. https://twitter.com/...
Ari Fleischer / @arifleischer: NR has updated its story. They removed the line below, which I quoted from their story, and added this note: “Twitter says Pacilio isn't involved in the removal decisions himself. I have updated the post to reflect his role...” https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Good example of how misinfo quickly spreads. While the National Review article now has a (weak) correx attached to it, the misinfo has already reverberated across the right-wing media universe, amassing thousands of retweets as big figures like Ari share. https://twitter.com/...

Techdirt says it's stopped using Google AdSense as the frequency of content violation notices rose without explanation about the violations or how to fix them — You probably didn't notice it, but there are currently no third-party ads on Techdirt. We pulled them down late last week …

Casey Newton / @caseynewton: An ongoing, amazing demonstration of Google's market power is just how terrible their customer service is — even for its clients! https://www.techdirt.com/...
Mike Masnick / @mmasnick: I know it won't get the kind of attention that The Federalist got by playing into the nonsense “anti-conservative bias” wars, but we've had to remove *all* 3rd party ads from @techdirt, after Google's @AdSense content moderators went insane on us: https://www.techdirt.com/...
pacaBLMDtPkeha / @pacanukeha: A key problem of #ModerationAtScale occurs when automated systems make decisions, the errors are horribly obfuscated, there is institutional denial that the tech can make an error, and not enough humans are paid to fix the errors. Looking at you, @AdSense https://www.techdirt.com/...

Even prior to HK security law, Apple Daily had discussed destroying reporting notes, stopped using bylines, and organized legal briefings on responses to a raid — Apple Daily, a pro-democracy paper known for celebrity gossip and hard-hitting investigations, has become a target in Beijing's new national security law in Hong Kong.

Morning Call: The Morning Call to vacate Allentown office building after 100 years in downtown location
American Press Institute: Need to Know: August 13, 2020 — Fresh useful insights for people advancing quality, innovative and sustainable journalism
Mariam Ahmed / Talking Biz News: Tribune Publishing to vacate offices at 5 papers
Harry Siegel / @harrysiegel: Just perfect from @MichaelDalynyc, and even more so for running in a broadsheet https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@pwoodreporter: Remember when I told you @tribpub didn't pay its rent?⬇️ Now we're told that the company is permanently shutting down our @capgaznews office in Annapolis and our @CCTNews office in Westminster. https://twitter.com/...
Julie Pace / @jpacedc: The prospect of news organizations without newsrooms is so depressing. https://www.axios.com/...
Josh Sternberg / The Media Nut: The pandemic is forcing media to transform in subtle and not-so-subtle ways
@os_guild: This building has been @orlandosentinel's home since 1951 and now we're leaving, thanks to @tribpub — which has $80.5 million in cash btw. We're still a newsroom, even if we don't have a home, but this is why we need local owners who care about journalism https://www.orlandosentinel.com/ ...
Jeff Weiner / @jeffweineros: Sadder than I expected to be at losing the Sentinel's downtown office https://www.orlandosentinel.com/ ... It was a dour, ugly relic with a windowless newsroom, but it was ours. Plus my first A1 byline was about a Cold War-era rocket that once stood outside it: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/ ...
Laura Olson / @lauraolson: Still reeling over Tribune's decision to shut @mcall's physical newsroom. I've been a bureau reporter most of my career, which makes me value the time I spend in the newsroom even more. Swapping & debating ideas together is critical to news coverage. https://www.mcall.com/...
Pat Furgurson / @ebfiii: Working without an office was necessary in the worst of circumstances. Now its is a matter of Alden's Tribune cost cutting. Shame on you. Rob, Wendi, John, Gerald, Rebecca. Where will YOUR Pulitzer now reside? https://twitter.com/...
@jimrutenberg: I would say the beloved four-faced wooden clock and the giant framed woods should go to the Newseum but...devastating news, as a reader, as an alum, as a New Yorker https://www.nytimes.com/...
Marissa Parra / @marparnews: Capital Gazette is among the newspapers told by Tribune today they will no longer have a newsroom. For those who don't remember, Capital Gazette is the Annapolis newspaper where 5 journalists were murdered by a gunman in 2018. This is an absolute shame. https://www.capitalgazette.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Robert Shields / @rshields37: Every vet of the @NYDailyNews (all the way back to 42nd St.) is talking and reminiscing about this today. It's gutting to me. I'd thought I'd made my peace with my previous life but this brings it all back. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Evann Gastaldo / Newser: Several Big Newsrooms Are Closing
Derf Backderf / @derfbackderf: Tribune Inc. closes newsrooms in five cities. The downsized staff works from home from here on. Until they're laid off. What a sad business. The only paper I worked for during my newspaper career that's still in its building is my college paper! https://twitter.com/...
Raju Narisetti / @raju: This will/should be the #nextnormal for many news organizations, post-pandemic The @NYDailyNews Is Now a Newspaper Without a Newsroom https://www.nytimes.com/...? via @nytimes
@nydailynews: As we work toward our second century of covering our fair city, you'll continue to see our reporters in your neighborhood and our papers at your doorstep or corner bodega. A note to readers from the editor of the New York Daily News. https://www.nydailynews.com/ ...
Katherine Reinhard / @kmreinhard: So sad to see The Morning Call kicked to curb. I still remember walking into newsroom as a young journalist — Typewriters clicking, the wire machine clattering, phones ringing, reporters huddled with editors, copy editors yelling. I had to be part of it. https://www.mcall.com/...
Danielle Ohl / @dtohl: Wanna expand on what I said in this article. It's not just that it's sad we don't all get to be together. It is. But Tribune spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to harden our newsroom w/ shatterproof glass, a reinforced wall, etc. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@brieflyjce: Walking into this newsroom as a college intern felt like walking into Yankee Stadium for the first time. https://twitter.com/...
Nicholas Dawes / @nicdawes: I believe in newsrooms. Collaboration, serendipity, cross-pollination, the rhythm of the publishing cycle (whatever that is) - and a whole lot of bs that is still worth it for the upside https://www.nytimes.com/...
Paul Moses / @paulbmoses: Note to @nytimes: The Daily News may not have a New York City newsroom, but at least it has New York City news. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Craig McCarthy / @createcraig: What's amazing is this is just another example of an axe being taken to local journalism in four cities. Yet, nothing will be done. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Annie McCormick / @6abcannie: I gave my brother a tour when I was a 21 y/o photog intern turned freelancer. “Wow, this is a real paper,” he said ,"It's like where Woodward & Bernstein would work!" I loved being in this newsroom ❤️😥 https://www.mcall.com/...
Laura Curran / @nassauexecutive: As a former @NYDailyNews reporter, I'm sad to see this. Getting to work in that newsroom is one of my most cherished memories. It's never been more important for us to #SupportLocalJournalism. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Eric Hartley / @ethartley: A company with over $80 million in the bank is closing newsrooms. This is a disgrace, though sadly not a surprise. A surprise at this point would be Tribune doing the right thing. https://www.poynter.org/...
@pwoodreporter: Thank you, @Poynter, for writing about how @tribpub is abandoning physical newsrooms in several of the communities our company covers. https://www.poynter.org/...
Stephanie Sigafoos / @ssigafoos: .@brianstelter asked what the reaction has been like today from remote colleagues. Basically ...this a gut punch. https://www.mcall.com/...
Chris Krewson / @ckrewson: What has Tribune ownership meant for The Morning Call of Allentown, PA? A payroll that once reached 1,000 is down to around 100. A downtown office it occupied since 1920 has been formally abandoned after missing three months' rent. https://www.mcall.com/...
Dwight Silverman / @dsilverman: The Daily News Is Now a Newspaper Without a Newsroom https://www.nytimes.com/... Many newsrooms, including the @houstonchron's are empty as reporters, editors, artists, photographers work remotely. Do we really need a newsroom?
Rebecca Baird-Remba / @thecitywanderer: honestly kind of blown away by this as a business choice. if the daily news needs office space again in a year or two (and hopefully it will), it will not be cheaper on a per square foot basis than a lease signed in 2011 https://twitter.com/...
Gary Myers / @garymyersny: I used to love going into old newsroom at 42nd and Second to write. Great newspaper days! Hardly went into new office. I hope for the best for the 3 or 4 friends remaining at DN from when I left two years ago. So sad to say but Daily News is The Titanic. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jonathan Lemire / @jonlemire: This is truly heartbreaking https://twitter.com/...
@mylesmill: I love this paper and the relics stored in that newsroom—the front pages, the typewriter, the plates for archival papers. What to journalism is a newspaper without a newsroom? https://www.nytimes.com/...
Will James / @otherwilljames: Where I once roamed the halls as a forgettable intern Actually, I was at the prior office on 33rd. But one of the main things I took from that internship was the experience of watching the reporters near me work the phones. It was like, “Ah. Okay. That's how you report.” https://twitter.com/...
Stephen Stirling / @sstirling: First daily newsroom I ever worked in. It wasn't pretty. Newsrooms aren't. But as a 22 year-old the energy that coursed through that place was exhilarating and overwhelming. https://twitter.com/...
Erica Orden / @eorden: Especially for young reporters, there's nothing better than working in a great newsroom. You learn so much from observing others. This is such a bummer. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@journomurph: Tribune already did this before - at the Virginian-Pilot. Now, they're doing it nationwide. What are they doing with the money they'll save? IDK. Here's what I know they AREN'T doing: - hiring more reporters -offering raises to those that remain - bettering their products https://twitter.com/...
Zach Murdock / @zach_murdock: Our owners at @tribpub are shutting down several of our sister papers' newsrooms, leaving all of us stunned. We've been told @hartfordcourant will keep our Broad Street newsroom (for now, at least), although most everyone will continue to WFH through the end of the year. https://twitter.com/...
Pat Kiernan / @patkiernan: Can someone still yell “stop the presses” if there is no newsroom? @NYDailyNews is giving up its Manhattan real estate and reporters will all work remotely. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Andrew Nusca / @editorialiste: I'm all for recognizing that you don't need a physical newsroom to conduct journalism. But this seems crazy. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Paul Schwartzman / @paulschwartzman: The 42d Street office — first time I walked in as an employee — felt like Yankee Stadium. Are they replacing this one with a Duane Reade? https://twitter.com/...
Melissa Lee / @melissaleecnbc: I did my first internship in the business section of the Daily News. Being in the newsroom was an important part of my education. https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / CNN: Journalists mourn the loss of newsrooms as publishers give up office space to save money
Derek Willis / @derekwillis: I guess we have something of an answer to this. https://twitter.com/...
Derek Willis / @derekwillis: Will be curious to see how many more newspaper companies take away the lesson that they no longer need buildings for their employees (or much, much smaller ones).
Julia Glum / @superjulia: so sad. I get it — media companies need to reduce expenses, maintaining an office doesn't make sense when nobody's there, etc. — but I cannot emphasize how important newsrooms are for journalists https://twitter.com/...
Colleen Wright / @colleen_wright: Sad to see this happen, but it's worth stopping the bleed. I have good memories interning in this windowless newsroom, like watching the lunchtime pick-up games on the rooftop court. And I will always stan the gyro shop on the corner. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/ ...
Joe Favorito / @joefav: At least they waited til the passing of Pete Hammill. The Daily News Is Now a Newspaper Without a Newsroom https://www.nytimes.com/...
@nytmetro: Tribune Publishing said that it was permanently closing the tabloid's office in Lower Manhattan. As its journalists work remotely during the pandemic, plans for a future workplace are uncertain. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Senator Brad Hoylman / @bradhoylman: .@NYGovCuomo signed the Child Victims Act into law in this newsroom less than two years ago. Local news is facing an existential crisis. We are the only ones who can save it. Subscribe to your hometown papers. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Christopher Mele / @melechristopher: This is heart-breaking. I recall touring the old Daily News newsroom as a high schooler when it was on 42nd Street and it was every bit of a newsroom you could imagine. A terrible loss this is. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@pwoodreporter: Thank you to @marcatracy at @nytimes for writing about @tribpub closing the newsroom of our sister paper, @NYDailyNews, and also including @capgaznews. https://www.nytimes.com/...
