A look at the close collaboration between Ron DeSantis' administration and The Florida Standard as he cultivates a network of sympathetic conservative outlets — Last summer, six days after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended Tampa prosecutor Andrew Warren, one of the governor's top aides drafted …
Discussion:
Ann Marie Lipinski / @amlwhere: I spend a lot of time talking with international journalists working under regimes that attack and delegitimize independent media. What Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida is straight out of those playbooks. “This is what state-run media looks like.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Alexander Russo / @alexanderrusso: DeSantis is doing everything he can to destabilize the independent media, as you can read here, but the media is also destabilizing itself the way it is so readily trolled for outrage. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@spj_tweets: “Just this week, the governor...attacked ‘legacy media’ that engages in ‘partisan activism’ and suggested that he might lobby the Florida Legislature to pass a law...making it easier for people to sue news organizations on claims of libel or defamation.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: A simple way to describe the kind of 2024 coverage we need is this: Not the odds, but the stakes. Meaning: less that tries to handicap the race, more that shows what is at stake in that race. “DeSantis is weaponizing partisan media.” From @NiemanLab. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@froomkin: The governor's efforts to prop up supplicant sources of news—while trying to destabilize and delegitimize independent ones—make for a dangerous combination, @mbar62 tells @Jason_Garcia. That's the journalistic dichotomy: “supplicant” vs. “independent”. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Mark Maxwell / @markmaxwelltv: “This is what state-run media looks like,” Barfield said. “Russia, China, and Venezuela use it as a tool to control the message. The strategy has far-reaching and negative implications for freedom of the press and democracy.” https://twitter.com/...
Mark Strauss / @markdstrauss: This is a deeply disturbing read. But, it points to another potential weakness of DeSantis as a presidential candidate—he doesn't have much experience dealing with journalists outside his state-controlled media barony in Florida.

Francesco Marconi / @fpmarconi: @tolles The legal debate between AI generators and content rights-holders will depend on the interpretation of US Fair Use doctrine and “transformative use” — and whether systems like GPT store this data in their databases.
Francesco Marconi / @fpmarconi: @tolles https://apnews.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Chris Tolles / @tolles: @fpmarconi That may be, but “Scraping data without permission would break the publishers' terms of service” is an allegation not backed the TOS's in place currently, and one that libels the AI companies.
Chris Tolles / @tolles: @fpmarconi Ok. I will concede this is a greyer area from a pure tos standpoint (and withdraw my accusation of libel) but when there is a discrepancy between posted TOS and robots.txt, in practice, a crawler is engaging in a protected action. https://law.stackexchange.com/ ...

Discussion:
Brian Stelter / The Atlantic: I Never Truly Understood Fox News Until Now
Timothy Snyder / @timothydsnyder: It appears that Fox's heavy hitters knowingly spread Trump's Big Lie out of concern for the price of the company's stock. https://www.cnn.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: The latest filing by Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation suit against Fox https://www.theatlantic.com/ ... nails something critics have long argued for. Fox is not a news organization. It's something else. But what is this thing? I will try to answer that. Next slide, please. 1/
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: You're not a news organization if your audience's refusal to accept what happened prevents what happened from regularly airing as news. That should be obvious to all, but especially after Dominion's latest filing, which shows how thoroughly freaked out the top people were. 13/
Martina Navratilova / @martina: I lived through a lot of propaganda in them communist Czechoslovakia. But those guys had nothing on the propaganda that parades as news at @FoxNews . The fox guys have a choice. And they make the wrong choice every single time, every single day https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Though it is styled as one, Fox is not a news organization. And it's not opinion, either. It is something else: Power formation by means of resentment news. But it doesn't always work. The crowd seethes back when the machine miscalculates, generating its own kind of power. 14/
Adam Serwer / The Atlantic: Why Fox News Lied to Its Viewers
@pithypacky: Let's be frank. Fox stars deliberately lied to their viewers hour after hour, day after day because they thought their viewers would abandon them for some other media outlet that was lying even worse. https://twitter.com/...
George Conway / @gtconway3d: “Carlson flagged Heinrich's tweet and told Hannity, ‘Please get her fired.’ Why? Because her minor Twitter fact-check of an out-of-control president was exactly the sort of thing that Fox's fan base could not stand to see.” https://twitter.com/...
Tim Fullerton / @timfullerton: Every American should read this story. Just absolute garbage coming from Fox and knowingly lying to their audience. They care more about money than democracy. Never let them forget it. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: One big takeaway from the Dominion bombshell filing: Fox News is terrified of its own audience. https://www.cnn.com/...
Jemele Hill / @jemelehill: I knew Fox News was terrible, but they are worse than anyone can imagine. They purposely misled and lied to their audience about the presidential election, and I hope Dominion Voting Systems gets every dime they're suing for https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Richard Signorelli / @richsignorelli: Anti-immigrant Murdoch is ironically one of the worst immigrants himself imo. The damage he's done to our democracy is significant. Now, Dominion will make him pay for his lies. Check out this gift article, at no cost to you. Read here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jim Haigh / @jmhaigh: @mattderienzo Great question, Matt! Of any specific orgs, the group “Advancing the Future of Trusted Content” @DCNorg would have the strongest ethical spine. Has @jason_kint gone public yet — they're listed a member: https://digitalcontentnext.org/ ...
Matt DeRienzo / @mattderienzo: Wondering what leaders of journalism trade organizations and affinity groups are doing after this news. Why aren't we expelling Fox from membership and participation based on egregious and repeated rejection of the most basic industry standards and ethics? https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@stephen_richer: Just like many Arizona politicians, Fox News personalities privately called the stolen election theories: “complete bs” “off the rails” “nuts” But then @TuckerCarlson, @IngrahamAngle, @seanhannity parroted them publicly. They are lying to you. https://www.npr.org/...
Sarah Longwell / @sarahlongwell25: Fox News holds their audience in such contempt. https://twitter.com/...
Lindy Li / @lindyli: Tucker Carlson was more terrified of losing viewers and advertising revenue to Newsmax than he was of losing our hard-won republic to Trump's terrorist thugs He has forfeited everything it means to be American https://twitter.com/...
Yoni Appelbaum / @yappelbaum: “Somewhere around page 157, it clicked.” New, from @brianstelter: https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Marsha Warfield / @marshawarfield: We knew they were lying, they knew they were lying, and their viewers knew they were lying. They. Did. It. Anyway. https://www.cnn.com/...
Rachel Bitecofer / @rachelbitecofer: No other democracy would allow a propaganda outlet to intentionally poison its citizenry under the cover of ‘news.’ https://www.cnn.com/...
David Amoyal / @davidamoyal: Fox News is a cancer on America, they continued to spread doubts on last presidential election while knowing it was bullshit- there is now much more division in this country and less trust in institutions I hope Dominion lawsuit brings some real change on lying for profit https://twitter.com/...
@paulachertok: Foxnews is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party—w/o which it might be a normal democratic party accountable to the public. But Fox cynically chose to prop up GOP toxic lies & frauds, more worried about “brand damage” than the brain damage they cause the country & democracy. https://twitter.com/...
@deggans: Another argument Fox News Channel is a political operation disguised as a cable newschannel: material from the Dominion voting systems lawsuit — in which FNC's top anchors deride the election conspiracy theories they would push on air: https://www.npr.org/...
Jared Yates Sexton / @jysexton: GOP politics has always been a small group of elites with cosmopolitan traits and backgrounds radicalizing a base using racist, sexist, and xenophobic fearmongering. Power switched away from the traditional groups and to the base. And they hate it. https://twitter.com/...
@janeotn: “In the days after Biden won the election, while Trump shouted “Stop the Steal,” the most powerful people at Fox News were not concerned about the health of U.S. democracy. They were concerned about Fox's brand and their own bottom line.” Shut down Fox. https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Kaz Weida / @kazweida: This is spot on. “...despite privately acknowledging the realiity of the situation, the network allowed the lies on air, in large part because executives & hosts were terrified that telling its sizable audience the truth would prompt them to tune out.” https://www.cnn.com/...
Evan McMurry / @evanmcmurry: Great seeing @brianstelter in @TheAtlantic: “The consensus view both inside and outside the network was that Fox's acknowledgment of reality—and specifically its early projection that Biden had won Arizona—had turned the audience against the network.” https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
@nxthompson: “Inside Fox, the prime-time stars and senior executives raged against the network's reporters not because they doubted that Biden had won, but because the truth was too disturbing to the audience that had made them rich.” @brianstelter https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: When Trump tried to start the steal by shouting “stop the steal,” the most powerful people at Fox News were not concerned about the health of U.S. democracy. They were concerned about Fox's brand and their own bottom lines. https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Brent Staples / @brentnyt: Call it by its rightful name https://www.cnn.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: “Other sources at Fox told me to think of it not as a network per se, but as a profit machine. They feared doing anything that would disrupt the machine.” https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Chasten Buttigieg / @chasten: Misinformation is a threat to democracy, but unfortunately selling misinformation is more important to the people who profit from it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Sheldon Whitehouse / @senwhitehouse: An honest courtroom is a beautiful thing. Litigation brought out the truths that FOX mouthpieces shared with each other while busily selling the lies on the air. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Scott Linnen / @scottlinnen: The people who brought us Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, El Paso, Capitol Hill, Buffalo, and Colorado Springs are terrified of the Frankenstein monster they've created. https://twitter.com/...
Brian Rosenwald / @brianros1: This goes for all of conservative media. They are worried about alienating the audience — especially over the last 15 years or so as competition has increased & they know their audience will get the most crazy hard right stuff whether they embrace it or not. https://twitter.com/...

New York AG's November 2022 report details how former CBS CEO Leslie Moonves' trusted lieutenants worked to quash sexual misconduct claims to protect their boss — A recent investigation reveals the lengths to which the ex-CBS chief's cadre of C-suite insiders — some of whom remain with the company …
Discussion:
Nina Metz / @nina_metz: Btw: This is all based on a report from the NY Attorney General released FOUR MONTHS AGO I'm really glad THR did this. I remember outlets reporting on the settlement but not the ~details~ of the report. Why? That seems to be where we are with MeToo reporting these days https://twitter.com/...
Gary Baum / @garymbaum: All the CEO's Men: I took a look at how Les Moonves and his lieutenants sought to fend off one of his accusers. It's a case study in corporate complicity, control and cover-up. Some players are still there. CBS and Paramount Global wouldn't answer Q's. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ...
Nina Metz / @nina_metz: “According to the AG report, two other top CBS executives used the unredacted police report to investigate Golden-Gottlieb's ‘personal circumstances and that of her family, including her children, her brother and her former spouse.’” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ...
Nina Metz / @nina_metz: This was literally published today: How Les Moonves and His CBS Loyalists Worked to Discredit Accuser: “It Was Sort of a Mafia Culture” Let's stop pretending sexual misconduct in Hollywood is/was only happening on set during the filming of love scenes https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ...

Q&A with Nicaragua's La Prensa publisher Juan Lorenzo Holmann, incarcerated in August 2021 and unexpectedly released and deported to the US on February 9, 2023 — Juan Lorenzo Holmann Chamorro was on the verge of sleep in his Nicaraguan jail cell when he was issued civilian clothes …
Discussion:
@gypsystrategy: “Juan Lorenzo Holmann Chamorro was on the verge of sleep in his Nicaraguan jail cell when he was issued civilian clothes, taken to the airport, and told to sign a handwritten document agreeing to be deported to the United States,” writes @DanaeVilchez https://cpj.org/...
@cpjamericas: “I don't feel totally free,” Nicaraguan @laprensa journalist Juan Lorenzo Holmann told @pressfreedom's @DanaeVilchez. “Because free would be if I could be in #Nicaragua, that's the real freedom.” Read the full interview: https://cpj.org/...
@pressfreedom: “No one can take away my Nicaraguan nationality. I am going to die, & I am going to continue being Nicaraguan.” @laprensa's Juan Lorenzo Holmann speaks with @CPJAmericas' @DanaeVilchez about the Nicaraguan government saying they took away his nationality. https://cpj.org/...
@pressfreedom: Juan Lorenzo Holmann was arrested shortly after becoming @laprensa's publisher. “When I made the decision to take the job, it was clear what I was doing. Not that my life was in danger, but [that] I was doing something that would put me in the spotlight.” https://cpj.org/...

Ramita Navai / @ramitanavai: Journalists covering the Iranian uprising are not even safe in the UK - TV channel @IranIntl_En has been forced to move its operation to the US after threats from the Iranian regime made it too dangerous to continue. Extraordinary. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Julian Clover / Broadband TV News: Terror threat forces Persian channel to move from London to Washington DC
Ali Hamedani / @bbchamedani: “I cannot believe it has come to this. A foreign state has caused such a significant threat to the British public on British soil that we have to move,” said Mahmood Enayat, the station's general manager. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Peter Tatchell / @petertatchell: SHAME! @metpoliceuk fail to protect UK-based Iranian TV channel from terror threats by Tehran Now the channel must move to US due to rising safety concerns for its journalists Iranian embassy represents state terror! Close it down! https://www.theguardian.com/ ... @Voiceofiran_UK
Omid Memarian / @omid_m: “Acting on advice from the Met police, Iran International TV “reluctantly” closed its London studios after state-backed threats, a statement said, as safety concerns made it no longer possible to protect the channel's staff and the surrounding public.” https://theguardian.com/...
Ruslan Trad / @ruslantrad: Threats from Iran against journalists and activists abroad became so many and serious that the @IranIntl move its offices from the UK.

The New York Times' response to criticism of its trans coverage reduced serious journalists to radical activists, a route too many outlets take when challenged — More than 1,000 Times contributors have sent an open letter asking for the paper of record to examine its biases in reporting on trans issues.

Arwa Mahdawi / The Guardian: The New York Times' trans coverage is under fire. The paper needs to listen
Sarah Ditum / @sarahditum: This is an embarrassing piece for any journalist to publish, never mind (as noted in the copy) to publish in the Guardian, which has its own known issue with writers using letter writing campaigns to divert coverage https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Maria Bustillos / @maria@thelife.boats: Just a relief and gratifying in every way to see journalists I most respect, like Arwa Mahdawi, weighing in on @tomscocca 's recent work on the Times's coverage of trans care — https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Diana Goetsch / @dianagoetsch: Smart piece by @ijbailey • “Times editors and reporters can't be so naïve as to believe their work hasn't contributed to what feels like a moral panic about trans people. I've felt a similar frustration with crime coverage.” https://nieman.harvard.edu/... via @Niemanfdn

Nancy Rommelmann / @nancyromm: Earlier this week, 200 New York Times contributors sent an open letter to the paper, excoriating its coverage on trans issues. GLAAD followed suit and made demands.

Michael Goodwin / New York Post: Radical left turns on woke New York Times
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: In a rare moment of media covering itself, here's the lead story on The Guardian right now (while everybody is *at last* covering the venality of Fox News, too)... Nearly 1,000 contributors protest New York Times' coverage of trans people https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: “The Times could have invited in some of its critics, to listen, learn, and have a substantive back-and-forth about an issue that is vexing many Americans. Instead, it took the route too many high-profile journalists take when challenged.” Via @ijbailey https://niemanreports.org/...
Amanda Becker / @amandabecker: The NYT had a chance to earnestly grapple with a serious critique of its trans coverage by a serious group of professionals, including journalists who contributed to the paper. Instead, it decided to demean them as activists. https://niemanreports.org/...
@hillarykwiatek: The comparison to crime coverage and Hillary Clinton's emails (remember the incredibly irresponsible Clinton Cash coverage?) in this piece is really spot on. https://niemanreports.org/...
Steve Silberman / @stevesilberman: Superb, informed reply to @nytimes' grotesque response to criticism of its coverage of #trans issues. https://niemanreports.org/...
