Brian Steinberg / Variety: NBC News Says Tucker Carlson ‘Dangerously and Dishonestly Targeted’ Its Reporter
Charlie Nash / Mediaite: NBC News Condemns Fox News After Tucker Carlson Attacks Reporter: ‘Shamefully Encouraged Harassment and Worse’
@nbcnewsguild: We are extremely proud to work with @BrandyZadrozny, who is uncovering disinformation and deception at a critical time in our history. We will always be in her corner. We're also happy to see @NBCNews stand up for one of its reporters against this bad faith attack. https://twitter.com/...
Rachel Maddow / @maddow: 100% concur. @BrandyZadrozny is as good as it gets in this business. https://twitter.com/...
@nikkimcr: In July, Carlson erroneously accused two reporters of attempting to doxx his home address, within hours of the segment airing, the addresses of the reporters had been posted online and one of the reporters had someone attempt to break into their home https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@nikkimcr: Tucker Carlson spends every night railing about free speech and censorship while at the same time turning his show into a space where reactionaries can direct waves of violent intimidation against journalists doing vital, honest reporting. It's a pattern and it's unacceptable. https://twitter.com/...
Ashley Feinberg / @ashleyfeinberg: really good statement, although ideally it would mention that tucker carlson's entire attack was based on her using tools that virtually every journalist uses daily https://twitter.com/...
@thetonymorrison: Here for a network that defends their journalists and their integrity 🔥 https://twitter.com/...
Hamza Shaban / @hshaban: Two years ago, the Verge wrote this. Today, NBC News responds to Fox for targeting one of its stellar journalists. Are other newsrooms prepared for more? https://twitter.com/...
Maura Barrett / @maurabarrettnbc: We always stand with @BrandyZadrozny (+ she's always a must read). @NBCNews https://twitter.com/...

John Whitehouse / Media Matters for America:
Tucker Carlson hosted a former WH speech writer on his Fox News show for a segment attacking NBC News reporter Brandy Zadrozny for basic reporting techniques — Zadrozny is just really good at her job — During the October 21 edition of his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson hosted Darren Beattie …

Discussion:
Ben Collins / @oneunderscore__: Tucker Carlson is devoting an entire segment to attacking my colleague, Brandy Zadrozny, for doing actual reporting, like using public records to confirm identities of people who create harassment campaigns. It's disgraceful. She's the best reporter I know. I'm with her 1000%.
A.J. Katz / TVNewser: NBC News Slams Tucker Carlson For ‘Dangerously and Dishonestly’ Targeting One of Its Reporters
Matt Binder / @mattbinder: here's one of those poor people that Tucker Carlson is standing up for, who @BrandyZadrozny wrote about https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Collins / @oneunderscore__: Had Tucker looked into this, his guest was emailed by Brandy the day before about a story she's doing about his website. He spent the day tweeting retributively at her. That wasn't mentioned. Seems pretty important to include. And the guest is this guy. https://www.cnn.com/...
Craig Silverman / @craigsilverman: Tucker Carlson is devoting a segment to attacking @BrandyZadrozny, one of the best investigative reporters. She wrote a chapter for the new Verification Handbook about researching people and social media accounts. Now that's being used to attack her with disgusting lies.
Tracy Connor / @tracyconnor: This is fantastic. Tucker Carlson is devoting an entire segment to how good @BrandyZadrozny is at doing her job. I can also vouch for how good Brandy is!
Ben Collins / @oneunderscore__: I am so proud every day to work with @BrandyZadrozny, the best reporter I know. She's also an exceedingly decent human and I'm lucky to know her.
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: New: NBC News calls out @TuckerCarlson for having “dangerously and dishonestly targeted” @BrandyZadrozny in a segment Wednesday night. “Fox News has chosen to smear Brandy. In so doing they have shamefully encouraged harassment and worse.” https://twitter.com/...
PEN America / @penamerica: Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson went after an NBC reporter for her use of public records in her reporting on online harassment. https://www.mediamatters.org/ ...
Chris Hayes / @chrislhayes: One of the finest reporters we have, bar none, and this is bullying garbage. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Collins / @oneunderscore__: In conclusion, the guy who Tucker had on his show to rail against Brandy for being a reporter had this incredibly normal image of her made for his site today. I think it's pretty badass, personally. Making it is not normal, but I think she should frame it. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Collins / @oneunderscore__: Anyways, that was a hideously unethical segment by Tucker Carlson, framing using basic reporting tools like public records searches as some sort of evil act. To do it to a mom, and one of the best people I know, is disgusting. I won't forget it.
Will Sommer / @willsommer: Couldn't agree with Ben more here. @BrandyZadrozny is a great reporter, and I can't wait to read the story she's working on that has Tucker Carlson so afraid that he has to smear her. https://twitter.com/...
Asawin Suebsaeng / @swin24: Follow @BrandyZadrozny. Not only a great reporter, but one of the absolute kindest, most ethical people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I know folks sometimes gag at reporters “circling the wagons” and shit, but w/ Brandy, it must be said. https://twitter.com/...
Joe Fryer / @joefryer: Brandy impresses me with each and every story she does. Her reporting skills have never been more important. So incredibly grateful to have her on our team. https://twitter.com/...
Tracy Connor / @tracyconnor: It gets better: They are revealing that Brandy is so good at her job that she teaches other journalists how to be good at their jobs!
Marisha Goldhamer / @marishagsherry: The Verification Handbook is an incredible free tool for journalists and none of its contributors — particularly @BrandyZadrozny — deserve to be harassed for helping to better equip newsrooms to tackle disinformation https://datajournalism.com/...
Olivia Nuzzi / @olivianuzzi: One of the best reporters and sweetest people I've ever been lucky enough to work with and learn from and call a friend is @BrandyZadrozny. An attack on her credibility and her methods is an act of bad faith and cowardice.
Angelo Carusone / @goangelo: Of all right-wingers that have attacked me (Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Trump and Tucker), the absolute worst aftermath was when Tucker attacked me. His people were by far most fervent, vicious and straight up threatening. Brandy is great reporter; Tucker knows what he's doing. https://twitter.com/...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Go and follow @BrandyZadrozny right now. She is not only one of the best investigative journalists in the business, but a fantastic and caring person who does not deserve to be the target of harassment by someone with no concept of journalistic ethics. https://twitter.com/...
@slpng_giants: Having once been on the other side of this tactic by Carlson, resulting in death threats sent to my children, this is stochastic terrorism. Carlson knows well what he's doing to @BrandyZadrozny, who has a family and will likely experience the same thing. It's sick. He's sick. https://twitter.com/...
Jacob Ward / @byjacobward: Outrageous for so many reasons, not least because @BrandyZadrozny is an incredible reporter, who already slogs through so much online horror to do her job. https://twitter.com/...
Renee DiResta / @noupside: @oneunderscore__ @BrandyZadrozny As a black cat owner myself, this is pretty amazing. He should make a template.
Patrick Howell O'Neill / @howelloneill: Brandy is a great reporter doing top notch work on an absolutely crucial beat. https://twitter.com/...
Caitlin Dickson / @cedickson: Anyone who would take a minute, let alone an entire prime time TV segment, to attack @BrandyZadrozny's credibility has clearly never met her... or worked with her... or read any of her consistently stellar and impactful reporting
Erin Gallagher / @3r1ng: Tucker Carlson launched an intimidation campaign against one of the best and most ethical journalists covering disinformation. Solidarity with @BrandyZadrozny. https://twitter.com/...
Weltschmerz / @agoldmund: Just to point out to people harassing @BrandyZadrozny: the “doxing” she allegedly participated in is totally standard and how information is found uncovered almost every piece of worthwhile reporting. But you know that, you just want to harass someone.
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: On one hand, you have Tucker Carlson, who Fox News lawyers have successfully argued in court that no one should take him seriously. On the other, you have a universally respected reporter whose colleagues and workplace stand behind 100%. Take your pick. https://www.mediamatters.org/ ...
Nikki Mccann Ramrez / @nikkimcr: Brandy Zadrozny is just really good at her job. https://www.mediamatters.org/ ...
Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor: Tucker Carlson pours poison into our public sphere on behalf of the Trump regime and the Murdoch family. @BrandyZadrozny does superb journalism, and has earned wide respect.
Jared Holt / @jaredlholt: Absolutely shameful for Fox News to give a White House wash-up canned for being too unabashedly chummy with white nationalists a national platform to kick and scream about @BrandyZadrozny, who has more integrity and empathy in her pinky finger than that guy has had in his life.
David Beard / @dabeard: @oneunderscore__ Here's @BrandyZadrozny before she was famous—and unfairly reviled—and both journalists AND librarians have her back. https://www.poynter.org/... @oneunderscore__
Anne Helen Petersen / @annehelen: A tweet of mine was featured on Fox News once, very briefly. I received hundreds of hate emails, death threats, & had to deal with an attempt to dox my entire extended family and friends. @BrandyZadrozny is likely dealing with that times 10,000 right now. https://twitter.com/...
John Whitehouse / @existentialfish: I think Tucker Carlson didn't disclose that his guest went to a white nationalist conference because he just assumed his audience saw him there already https://www.mediamatters.org/ ...
Caroline Radnofsky / @cradnofsky: Taking this opportunity to share a story by @BrandyZadrozny that I admire. She observes and reports some of the darkest things on the web with high standards. Brandy's sources trust her, her colleagues trust her, and so do viewers & readers of @NBCNews. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Dell Cameron / @dellcam: it goes w/o saying, @BrandyZadrozny is doing some of the most pivotal reporting of our time. Ben is fine, too. https://twitter.com/...
Upstate Federalist / @upstatefederlst: *Laughs in Slate Star Codex* With all due respect, go fuck yourself, April. https://twitter.com/...
@slpng_giants: When protestors visited Carlson's home (which I vehemently disagreed with, by the way) the press fell in line behind him and defended him. Seriously hope they defend @BrandyZadrozny equally this time around.
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Seriously, fuck off with this shit, Tucker. Giving voice to this alt-right cretin with ties to white nationalists in order to whip up your audience to target and harass a great reporter who is just doing her job is perhaps a new low, even for you. https://twitter.com/...
UntuckedHat / @popehat: With very few exceptions, if Tucker Carlson condemns you you should probably be proud and if he praises you you're probably a piece of shit.
Tracy Connor / @tracyconnor: If you missed Tucker's segment, you can read some of @BrandyZadrozny's story and see for yourself just how good she is. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Amanda Carpenter / @amandacarpenter: Thread here on how Tucker Carlson is smearing a terrific, smart, insightful, and dedicated reporter. I am a @BrandyZadrozny stan and you should be, too! https://twitter.com/...
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: If Tucker Carlson is attacking you, you're doing something right. Bravo @BrandyZadrozny https://twitter.com/...
April Glaser / @aprilaser: I don't think many understand what reporters go through when we interrogate power. @BrandyZadrozny is among the most brave, thorough, principled and empathetic journalists I know. Being harassed like this on national TV is terrifying and we should all rally to support her https://twitter.com/...
Craig Silverman / @craigsilverman: It's all because she reached out to this guy about a story she's working on. His response was to smear her and her work, and it was then taken up by others. This is a clear attempt to intimidate a top journalist who behaved ethically and did her job. https://www.cnn.com/...

Emily Dreyfuss / @emilydreyfuss: Quibi never made sense to me personally because I dont like short videos. (I like Korean dramas bc there are always 100 episodes and they are all 1.5 hours long.) But that said! My husband loves short videos. Quibi was perfect for him and yet he hadn't ever heard of it. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Rosoff / @mattrosoff: Found it refreshingly honest. But yeah, not uplifting. https://twitter.com/...
Drew Olanoff / @yoda: some of why quibi failed: - the execs were arrogant - the execs didn't know what they were doing - instead of just letting the talent build, they couldn't help but talk - the execs took any and all press opportunity to “tease” which overhyped what was really poor execution
Drew Olanoff / @yoda: - content is king is a real thing, not a suggestion - execs spent way too much time overhyping this “new” way of viewing content when all we want is good content - investors pumped WAY too much money too soon into something that should have been playing the long long game

Emily Best / @emilybest: I'll be honest. This makes my blood boil. The capital that went into Quibi was chasing big personalities who were neither subject matter, audience or creator experts. This could have funded 1000 companies that knew how to survive and thrive https://www.wsj.com/...
Andy Signore / @andysignore: File this under “Duh.” https://www.wsj.com/... Just don't let Katzenberg blame the pandemic for the @Quibi failure.This idea was dumb from the start. He raised $1.75 BILLION Off Millennial BuzzWords & gave the bulk of it to Celebrity Influencers. Brands, Wise up. Such a waste

Jeff D MandaLowerian / @jeffdlowe: “[COVID] forced would-be subscribers away from the kinds of on-the-go situations Quibi executives envisioned for its users.” Give me a break.

Best Pumpkinman Ever / @asunflowerpose: and one of the co-founders is being vetted for federal executive leadership https://twitter.com/...
Nathan Lawrence / @nathanblawrence: Quibi started at an interesting moment, being a mobile only video service while we were all trapped in front of giant television sets.

@naveman: @mediagazer Before there was a TikTok there was a Vine. Before there was Uber Eats there was Pink Dot. So after Quibi folds someone will come along with the exact same service but the timing will be right.
Nicole W.C. Yeatman / @nwcyeatman: The demise of Quibi should not be recorded by history as Covid-related; Quibi Will die because it was a very stupid, no good, dumb idea to reinvent YouTube but with studio-sized budgets 🤷♀️ https://twitter.com/...

Andrew Marchand / New York Post: ESPN moving high-profile features and analysis behind ESPN+ paywall
Marc D'Amico / @marc_damico: I have still yet to pay for content on a sports media site, and not sure I ever will (unless a lot changes). There's just too many other places with quality content where I can get my fix and information. I'm a sports fanatic and I just haven't found a subscription that I “need.” https://twitter.com/...
Jon Greenberg / @jon_greenberg: Good scoop. You have to figure we had something to do with this. (I guess you don't have to, but I think so.) https://twitter.com/...
Maury Brown / @bizballmaury: We will all be overwhelmed by subscription services by (checks notes) yesterday. But it's where everything is headed. Ad model is dead. https://twitter.com/...
Adam Rubin / @adamrubinmedia: I'm not bullish on this model. At least in a market like New York, there's too much info available for free. And people don't differentiate between independent and team-produced content. It will just further drive the eyeballs to the party-line copy.
Scot Bertram / @scotbertram: ESPN+ is not going to make the list of sports writing for which I'm willing to pay. https://nypost.com/...
Stewart Mandel / @slmandel: Eventually all good sports content will be a paid product. Just like movies. And TV shows. And music. And ... https://twitter.com/...
David Ubben / @davidubben: This will never work. No one's ever going to pay for sports news. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz: Prediction: This drives far more subscriptions to @TheAthletic. ESPN is a good free alternative, but Athletic is the one worth paying for. https://nypost.com/...
Adam Rubin / @adamrubinmedia: Basically, they're trying to entice people to subscribe to their direct-to-consumer TV products because the cable route is failing too.
Daman Rangoola / @damanr: This is really interesting. It's a more sustainable way for ESPN to fund a lot of their journalistic work, makes ESPN+ more valuable (it's becoming a sports bundle on its own). News breaking has a short shelf life and doesn't hold value, keeping that open is a good balance https://twitter.com/...

@darickr: What an insecure little baby. Rules and agreements are for suckers in Trump's world... https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@bandyxlee1: His expression, and the fact that he is taping his own version, shows him full of anger, fear, suspicion, and paranoia. The “interview” consists of rigid, insistent talking points intended to “double down” on his fixed beliefs detached from reality: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Jim Sciutto / @jimsciutto: As Trump attacks Lesley Stahl now, remember his comments to her in 2016 on why he attacks the media: “He said, ‘You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.’”
