Ben Smith / New York Times:
A look at Jeff Zucker's role in boosting Trump for better CNN ratings in 2015 and 2016, and how Trump's misdeeds fuel the network's prime-time broadcasts now — The coziness between the TV executive and Mr. Trump is a Frankenstein story for the cable news era. But then the monster got away.

Discussion:
Siddhartha Mahanta / @sidhubaba: This is obviously all working out for both men, so I don't see why they wouldn't still be pals https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor: Terrific @benyt column on how CNN's profoundly cynical chief, Zucker, was Trump's number one media enabler. But it's highly doubtful that Zucker is repenting in any way what he did to our republic. https://www.nytimes.com/... (Psst, please now look into NYT's emails obsession...)
Amy Alexander / @amyalex63: “Preston Beckman, who was NBC's EVP for program planning and scheduling just before Mr. Zucker's ascendancy there, said Mr. Zucker's thirst for ratings blinded him to the damage he was doing by offering saturation Trump coverage.” — @benyt 💥 https://www.nytimes.com/...
A.J. Katz / TVNewser: Here's the Story Behind Jeff Zucker's Falling-Out With Trump, and How It Has Affected CNN's Coverage of the Administration
Sopan Deb / @sopandeb: “Mr. Zucker's falling-out with his old star came late. Even in the spring of 2017 — after a presidency that kicked off with an attempt to ban Muslims from traveling to America — he told my colleague Jonathan Mahler, “I like Donald.” (via @benyt) https://www.nytimes.com/...
Avi Asher-Schapiro / @aaschapiro: This is the first time the New York Times is covering leaked records that show CNN's top executive Jeff Zucker flattering & cozying up to Donald Trump—even offering him a job—in spring 2016. CNN has never covered them. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Harold Pollack / @haroldpollack: How do authoritarian figures take power+damage a society? One big reason is that conventional politicians, business, religious+civil society leaders believe they can benefit by working with them—sometimes realizing too late what they have set in motion. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Joe Flint / @jbflint: “the current version of CNN — amped up outrage and righteousness — is just Mr. Zucker's latest reflexive adaptation in search of ratings.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Katie Rosman / @katierosman: “You guys have had great instincts, great guts and great understanding of everything,” Jeff Zucker of CNN said to Michael Cohen, of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Ben Smith / @benyt: One new detail here: Trump brought Zucker up in a private meeting with AT&T's CEO, an apparent effort to make his ouster a condition of the TimeWarner acquisition (fixed link) https://www.nytimes.com/...
Phil Revard / @philrevard: Again, old news. @CheriJacobus has been telling us about this for years. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Joe Flint / @jbflint: “the story of Mr. Trump and Mr. Zucker is a kind of Frankenstein tale for the late television age, about a brilliant TV executive who lost control of his creation.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Patrick Dillon / @mpdillon: At the risk of never being paid to be on a 17-person panel with Van Jones, this story is 4 years too late and it's unreal everyone just sort of chuckled and looked away at the gross realities of it until now https://twitter.com/...

MSNBC Public Relations / @msnbcpr: .@MSNBC statement in response to President Trump's comments about anchor @AliVelshi: https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
David French / @davidafrench: Celebrating the injury of a journalist who was not breaking the law but rather covering a significant national news story is not “law and order.” It's cruelty and malice. But that's the point, isn't it? https://twitter.com/...
Jeremy Littau / @jeremylittau: He got hit with a rubber bullet, not a tear gas canister. Yesterday the President of the United States cheered on violence against a journalist who was lawfully doing his job, and his supporters cheered. https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Gloating about a reporter being hit by a rubber bullet is autocratic, not democratic. We all know this, don't we? https://www.cnn.com/...
Sarah Burris / @sarahburris: I still can't figure out why Trump is even talking about this four months after it happened. Did he just find out? Maybe four months from now he'll do something about the 200,000 people who died from covid https://twitter.com/...
Zakariah Johnson / @pteratorn: Trump gloats that police injured a journalist doing his job, calls it “law & order.” His crowd laughs & cheers. Anyone who calls the free press “enemies of the people” or encourages violence against them is a fascist, & so is anyone who supports them. https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: Regardless of the debates over the protests, how peaceful they are, proper police responses, etc. etc.: Having the President express glee and approval over a journalist being injured while doing his job is both gross and dangerous: https://twitter.com/...
Delina DiSanto / @delina4az: @BernieSanders, Trump 🗣it's a beautiful site to see reporters & others tear gassed & shot w/rubber bullets does not bring our nation together. Words matter! Especially from our leaders. @AliVelshi was shot in May & Trump incites months later for claps. https://www.cnn.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Katharina Borchert / @lyssaslounge: Trump rejoicing in journalists getting hurt while doing their job is despicable. Most dictators hide their evil streak better than he does. https://twitter.com/...
James Gleick / @jamesgleick: Trump says it was “a beautiful sight” when MSNBC journalist @AliVelshi was shot in the knee with a rubber bullet. Today's quiz: Was Velshi: ❌ Violent? ❌ A protestor? ❌ Breaking any law? ✅ Dark-skinned? ✅ A journalist doing his job? https://twitter.com/...
Joe Kilpatrick / @joekilpatrick15: I am glad that Ali Velshi answered this. He even did that with style and grace. The man has a class that Donald Trump will never comprehend. https://twitter.com/...
Cheers / @brandykody: Trump incites violence to peaceful protesters and reporters just doing their job. Trump is ‘The Wartime President’. He wants Civil War. #TrumpViolence #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace https://twitter.com/...
Laith Alkhouri / @menaanalyst: If the targeting of a respected journalist @AliVelshi is considered law and order in Trump's book, I'm totally fine with chaos and disorder. https://twitter.com/...
Ian Fraser / @ian_fraser: Disgraceful. Trump gloats about MSNBC anchor @AliVelshi being hit in the knee by a rubber bullet (it wasn't “a canister of tear gas") while covering the George Floyd protests in May. Trump tells the Minnesota rally: “Wasn't it really a beautiful sight?” https://twitter.com/...
David Cay Johnston / @davidcayj: Ayman is right. Trump is the wannabe dictator I've warned about fur more than five years. https://twitter.com/...
Marc Polymeropoulos / @mpolymer: The man is sick. That was something else. Celebrating the use of force where a reporter was injured..and the crowd laughs..But we hav not even reached the bottom... https://twitter.com/...
Anthony Scaramucci / @scaramucci: He is afraid of you Ali. The coward that is @realDonaldTrump doesn't like journalists who speak the truth. https://twitter.com/...
Aaron Rupar / @atrupar: I received this statement from MSNBC: “Freedom of the press is a pillar of our democracy. When POTUS mocks a journalist for the injury he sustained while putting himself in harm's way to inform the public, he endangers thousands of other journalists and undermines our freedoms.” https://twitter.com/...
Lawrence O'Donnell / @lawrence: Trump gets a cheer for wanting my friend @AliVelshi to be injured & lying about what really happened to Ali in his brave live reporting. https://twitter.com/...
Bill Reiter / @sportsreiter: This is not politics as usual. Let go of the false equivalency that with politicians “they are all the same.” This is dangerous for every American, no matter how the vote in November. This is dangerous for America https://twitter.com/...
Joy Reid / @joyannreid: It IS fascistic, @mehdirhasan. Pure and simple. Mussolini couldn't have done that shtick any better. https://twitter.com/...
Bernie Sanders / @berniesanders: This is what authoritarianism looks like. An American president does not praise violence against a reporter for doing his job. That is what an ugly, insecure two-bit dictator does. The future of our democracy and a free press is at stake this election. We must defeat Trump badly. https://twitter.com/...
Mehdi Hasan / @mehdirhasan: Putting aside Trump's usual lies and inaccuracies, here is the president praising a police attack on a journalist, a *journalist*, as ‘beautiful’ to a cheering crowd, as ‘law and order’. How is this not fascistic? How is anyone ok with this? https://twitter.com/...
@thewrap: MSNBC says that Donald Trump is endangering the lives of journalists after the president mocked reporter @AliVelshi for getting shot in the leg with a rubber bullet by police while covering a protest https://www.thewrap.com/...
A.J. Katz / TVNewser: Trump Describes Ali Velshi Getting Hit by a Rubber Bullet During Live Protest Coverage as ‘A Beautiful Sight’
Los Angeles Times:
More than 50 current and former staffers of LA Times describe how managerial missteps and ethical lapses contributed to anxiety and distrust in its newsroom — On a Friday night last month, Los Angeles Times Executive Editor Norman Pearlstine sent a short email to the newsroom, announcing sports columnist Arash Markazi had resigned.

Discussion:
@latimes: Since early 2019, six prominent @latimes editors have been pushed out, demoted or had responsibilities reduced because of failures of management The Times assigned 2 reporters to investigate the controversies in an effort to be transparent with its readers https://www.latimes.com/...
Meg James / @megjameslat: It's been a summer of troubles for the L.A. Times. My dear colleague @longdrivesouth and I looked at the current controversies. https://www.latimes.com/...
Mark Z. Barabak / @markzbarabak: One of the things that makes me proudest of my newspaper is how, through 20+ years of turmoil and upheaval, we have cast an often harsh, unflinching eye on ourselves and shared those findings with readers. Accountability starts at home. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Roderick / @laobserved: Quite a story on the continuing amateurishness and ethical wispiness of top LA Times editors. This does not seem like the right team to create the digital newspaper of the future that LA desperately needs. https://www.latimes.com/...
Matt Stiles / @stiles: I commend the reporters here and the management for allowing this to be reported and printed. There's also been a summer of badass journalism by our resilient staff under extreme conditions. Let's not forget that. https://www.latimes.com/...
Fidel Martinez / @fidmart85: I hope the takeaway from this isn't that things are now on the right track. In the past month alone the la times lost six women journalists of color. They say that change is coming, and that may be true, but the glacial-Like sense of urgency isn't inspiring https://twitter.com/...
Esmeralda Bermudez / @bermudezwrites: The @latimes has such tremendous potential, it hurts to see this much ink spent on our failures. L.A. Times shaken by a summer of turmoil and scandals https://www.latimes.com/...
Matt Hamilton / @matthjourno: The story of the LA Times is also of a resilient staff that strives to uphold our values. https://www.latimes.com/...
Bill Shaikin / @billshaikin: L.A. Times shaken by a summer of turmoil and scandals. How the sports department became a flashpoint of internal controversy. Proud to work where aces @MegJamesLAT and @longdrivesouth can report and publish this story: https://www.latimes.com/...
Bill Plaschke / @billplaschke: A tough but fair look in the mirror by an @latimes that is admirably unafraid to hold itself publicly accountable https://www.latimes.com/...
James Queally / @jamesqueallylat: Thanks to @MegJamesLAT & @longdrivesouth for taking on the unenviable task of writing about your own employer. Lots of manager sins documented here. Probably more to find. There's also a staff desperately trying to keep this place going in spite of itself. https://www.latimes.com/...
Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: LA Times reveals the turmoil in its own newsroom: “Since early last year, six prominent editors have been either pushed out, demoted or had responsibilities reduced because of ethical lapses, bullying behavior or other failures of management.” https://www.latimes.com/...
Joe Flint / @jbflint: Intersting nugget: “While editing a Markazi piece in January, Sports Editor Mike Hiserman said he found a plug for Rocket Mortgage in a column about former NFL player Barry Sanders.” https://www.latimes.com/...
Joe Flint / @jbflint: One of the toughest assignments for any reporter is writing about their own backyard. Can't wait to rea this from @MegJamesLAT and @longdrivesouth L.A. Times shaken by a summer of turmoil and scandals https://www.latimes.com/...
Ryan Kartje / @ryan_kartje: “If we're going to want to shine a light on others, we have to be willing to shine a light on ourselves.” https://www.latimes.com/...
@kerrymflynn: “Meehan's hiring also pointed to what some see as a blind spot in Pearlstine's practices. He recruited big-name journalists, often from New York, to make a splash. Some had worked out — others did not, including Meehan and Stuart Emmrich...” https://www.latimes.com/...
@latimes: Pearlstine's leadership has also been called into question by Times staff for his handling of sexual misconduct allegations of former masthead editor Colin Crawford and treatment of journalists who exposed the failings of managers. https://www.latimes.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: An unflinching look at the @LATimes, written BY the LA Times. Read it: https://twitter.com/...
Matt Pearce / @mattdpearce: It's been a tough summer. But this is a newsroom that holds itself accountable, and I am fortunate to work with so many tough colleagues who stick themselves out there to make sure we live our ideals. https://www.latimes.com/...
Brandon Wall / @walldo: LATimes reporting on the LATimes includes this bit https://www.latimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@latimes: Meehan resigned from the Times in July after a series of tweets by a New York food writer alleged that he was a tyrannical boss at Lucky Peach and raised questions about his behavior at The Times. https://www.latimes.com/...
@latimes: Pearlstine, under fire, acknowledged mistakes and defended his record. He's not stepping down but said he hoped to soon accelerate succession planning with the paper's owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. https://www.latimes.com/...
@latimes: According to several members of the Food staff, Meehan had a favored circle. Managing editor Kimi Yoshino, who oversaw them all, along with Deputy Food editor Andrea Chang, sometimes appeared in the social circle too. https://www.latimes.com/...
Molly Hennessy-Fiske / @mollyhf: Keep in mind while reading that while all this was happening, many of us were risking our health/safety covering #BLMprotest and #COVID19 https://www.latimes.com/...
Daniel Hernandez / @longdrivesouth: It gave us no joy - quite the contrary - diving into this topic. But for the good of the paper, the good of the newsroom, and in service to our readers, I followed @MegJamesLAT's ace instincts and skills, and we came up with this. I 💜 U forever @latimes: https://www.latimes.com/...
@latimes: Peter Meehan was hired in 2019 to reimagine the paper's Food coverage. He quickly developed a reputation as a bullying boss and colleague. For tastemakers and execs, Meehan wowed with results, but once he turned to managing below, he could become explosive https://www.latimes.com/...
Emily Alpert Reyes / @alpertreyes: As hard as some of these revelations are to read, I'm really glad that a story analyzing the shortcomings of the @latimes is able to appear in our paper: https://www.latimes.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: The LAT “assigned two reporters to investigate the recent controversies in an effort to be transparent with its readers.” Exec editor @NPearlstine: “If we're going to want to shine a light on others, we have to be willing to shine a light on ourselves.” https://www.latimes.com/...
