@tzimmer_history

Too many news orgs feel the need to present “both sides” equally, even when “both sides” are not at all equal.

Using the concept of “balanced coverage” as an excuse to create FALSE equivalence is not good journalism.

Scales are meant to measure the weight of facts, not to be kept in an artificial state of perfect balance.

Neutral is NOT the same as factual.

Journalism should NOT strive to be neutral, it should strive to be factual.

#Journalism #USPol #USA #News #Media

Meme, plain white background with black text:

Some say that journalists should strive to be “neutral”

I disagree. I think journalists should strive to be truthful — like a witness in a trial who is sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Stating a truth that will be used to determine someone’s guilt or innocence is rarely a “neutral” act, but it is a necessary one. When remaining “neutral” is used as an excuse to avoid stating uncomfortable truths — truths that might offend the powerful or the public — that is not journalism.

That is cowardice.

"Russians more often switch to aerial attacks, using drones to hit places where humanitarian aid is being provided, humanitarian centers are gathering or people simply going home from work," she said.

The forthcoming US government shutdown might be the first stage of the next coup attempt. Get ready. I see no sign that the Republicans have any interest in resolving it (either by coming together or by defecting to the Dems). Previous 'long' total shutdowns lasted about 3 weeks -- if this one lasts longer than that, we may have some trouble. I'd keep my eye open for state governments getting increasingly assertive and authoritarian as they find they no longer have to answer to the Feds and claiming that they need to "step in" to fill gaps caused by reduced federal law enforcement.

#USA #DoJ #Google #Antitrust #BigTech: "The US Department of Justice has removed public access to emails, charts and internal presentations from Alphabet Inc.’s Google that had come out as evidence in its landmark antitrust lawsuit against the tech titan.

Google had challenged the government’s posting of the documents online, and the court was sympathetic to its concerns. The result: a trial much more difficult for the public to follow than the similarly monumental and widely watched antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. in the 1990s.

The trial, which is expected to last 10 weeks, is the biggest legal reckoning for a big tech company since then. With all the exhibits and evidence unearthed for discussion, it’s also a rare look at the inner workings of one of the most influential businesses of the modern era."

For Bennett and the ownership group, however, this isn't enough. He is demanding massive new subsidies from the taxpayers of Oklahoma City. If the city refuses to pony up, the implicit threat is that Bennett will move the team to a city that will meet his demands. 

Currently, the Thunder play in the Paycom Center, which was built in 2002 at taxpayer expense. When the NBA franchise moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, the city approved over $100 million in improvements... In 2019, the city approved another $115 million in improvements...

About $70 million of those improvements were put on hold in 2022 when the Thunder ownership indicated they were no longer interested in renovating the Paycom Center. Now, Bennett and the other owners want a brand new arena. In July, Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt (R) warned that the team could leave if the city didn't build the new facility. Bennett originally moved the team from Seattle in 2008 after the city rejected similar demands for a new publicly financed arena. 

Previously, Holt said that Thunder ownership had committed to make a "significant financial contribution" to the new arena. Last week, however, plans for a new $900 million arena for the Thunder were finalized. The team contribution would be just $50 million, with taxpayers footing the remainder of the bill. That's about $3,200 for every Oklahoma City household.

" #Trump publicly attacked me. Two years later, following his acquisition of #Twitter and after I resigned my role as the company’s head of trust and safety, #ElonMusk added fuel to the fire. I’ve lived with armed guards outside my home and have had to upend my family, go into hiding for months and repeatedly move.

...It wasn’t just personal vindictiveness or “cancel culture.” It was a strategy — one that affects... all of us"

Text from article:
When I worked at Twitter, I led the team that placed a fact-checking label on one of Donald Trump’s tweets for the first time. Following the violence of Jan. 6, I helped make the call to ban his account from Twitter altogether. Nothing prepared me for what would happen next.

Backed by fans on social media, Mr. Trump publicly attacked me. Two years later, following his acquisition of Twitter and after I resigned my role as the company’s head of trust and safety, Elon Musk added fuel to the fire. I’ve lived with armed guards outside my home and have had to upend my family, go into hiding for months and repeatedly move.

This isn’t a story I relish revisiting. But I’ve learned that what happened to me wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t just personal vindictiveness or “cancel culture.” It was a strategy — one that affects not just targeted individuals like me, but all of us, as it is rapidly changing what we see online.
