  2. Baltimore Sun fires its longtime cartoonist, Kevin “KAL” Kallaugher

    After a 31-year career at The Sun, he’s pretty sure his progressive views ran afoul of conservative broadcast mogul David Smith, who’s owned the paper for less than two years.

  3. Everyone saw this coming, but it still really sucks. Here's hoping the union can stand strong and fight back against this BS.

  4. CW: USPol, Maryland

    I'm not going to just discount it outright, Hogan knows how to win in Maryland as a Republican. However, the cross tabs really don't make sense when you look at the fundamentals of the last two election cycles.

    It feels more narrative driven and to get people to pay attention to these polls more than actually based in good statistics.

  5. CW: USPol, Maryland

    So, a new poll dropped on the US Senate race in Maryland that shows the leading GOP candidate, former Governor Larry Hogan, leading either of the two leading Democratic candidates polling over 50%.

    It's from the Baltimore Sun and the local Fox affiliate. Here are the party affiliation cross-tabs: 600 D, 451 R, 241 Unaffiliated

    For reference, in 2020 and 2022, here's the breakdown of voters by party affiliation: 2.2M D, 1M R, 0.5-0.6M Unaffiliated voters.

    Something seems off about this poll. Way over estimates GOPers. It doesn't square with the reality of the last 2 election cycles.

  6. More crime and conservatism: How new owners are changing 'The Baltimore Sun'

    "It kind of confirms some of our worst fears. It's fallen in the hands of someone who, by all indications – and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt – is out to set an agenda, and use the newspaper to do that."

  7. #DavidSmith is the Chairman of #Sinclair conservative media network that has forced local news stations to read #propaganda scripts.

    He bought the #BaltimoreSun. He has a #MAGA -esque history with the paper he now owns. In 1996 it ran a story about his arrest during an undercover ‘sting’ operation, where he received oral sex in a company-owned Mercedes! lawandcrime.com/high-profile/s

  8. @dangillmor "David Deniston Smith, 45, of the 800 block of Hillstead Drive in Timonium, who also is Sinclair’s chief executive, was arrested in an undercover sting at Read and St. Paul streets, a downtown corner frequented by prostitutes, Baltimore police said yesterday." #BaltimoreSun

    David Smith says he hasn’t read the newspaper he purchased yesterday for decades. His plan for revamping the paper: Turn it into a clone of Fox45 news.

  10. Have read the #BaltimoreSun from cover to cover nearly every day of the past half-century. Did a little writing for it in the 1990s and early 2000s. Done with it.

  12. The Baltimore Sun’s Reckoning on Freddie Gray

    The Baltimore Sun's narrative of Freddie Gray's death was largely shaped by police’s version of events, presented with limited skepticism.

  13. CW: Long thread/36

    In #Baltimore, a new news outlet called the *#BaltimoreBanner* is looking to discipline the ailing *#BaltimoreSun*, which was recently purchased by #AldenGlobalCapital. Alden is a notorious vulture capitalist that buys up once-great papers, asset-strips and debt-loads them, fires their best reporters, and lets them degrade into a slurry of advertorials, wire service articles, and nonsense:

  14. This is so unfathomable, so reprehensible 🤬

    “A four-year investigation of Baltimore’s #Catholic archdiocese reveals the scope of 80 years of #ChildSexAbuse and #Torture: A deacon who admitted abusing more than 100 children. A priest who chained and whipped boys for his own gratification. Another other priest who, after receiving psychiatric treatment, went on to abuse 20 students at a Baltimore boys’ school.”
