A quotation from Bertrand Russell
All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/853…

#Trump #DOJ to Withdraw #Subpoenas Issued to #NewYorkTimes #Journalists
A federal judge raised questions about the government’s handling of the subpoenas, which #NYT said were an attempt to #intimidate the #FreePress.

#Trump has long been a harsh critic of the #news #media. But in his second term in office, he has moved aggressively to use the immense powers of the federal government in his efforts to attack the #press.
Earlier this year, the #DOJ sought to compel testimony from #journalists at The Wall Street Journal & The Washington Post. The DOJ withdrew the #subpoenas after both news organizations fought back in sealed filings.

#NYT #journalists who received #subpoenas included Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager & Eric Schmitt, who reported on Wednesday that #Trump had departed Turkey on the old #AirForceOne as a #security precaution at the urging of the #SecretService. Thursday, NYT reported that the new Air Force One, a #Qatar donated Boeing 747-8, lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited anonymous sources….

The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].

In some cases, the #subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at #reporters’ homes.
The #NYT denounced the admin’s actions.
“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the #Constitution & the #PressFreedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The NYT’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement Friday evening.

The #Trump admin issued #subpoenas Friday to several journalists for #TheNewYorkTimes, after the news outlet reported this week on #security concerns involving #Trump’s new #Qatar donated #AirForceOne.
The subpoenas — which seek to force the #reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in Trump’s efforts to #threaten & #intimidate independent news organizations.

#Weiss asks "can we make the protesters look more violent?" after #60Minutes editors approved the story which showed aggressive protestors.
"And...you need to describe (#ReneeGood) as driving *toward* the officer. (‼️)
"(BUT) This is not what you see on the video... There was a thumb on the scale for the president’s version of events that I felt was a level of political influence that I had never seen in 37 years at #CBS News" 👀

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
In the democracies of the world, the passion for freedom of speech and of thought is always accentuated when there is an effort anywhere to keep ideas away from people and to prevent them from making their own decisions. One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education and thus make it impossible for them to understand what is going on in the world as a whole. […] The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books, but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1943-05-11), “My Day”More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/81…

The #FCC is investigating #SanFrancisco -based #KCBS for its coverage of #immigration enforcement actions in #SanJosé last month, sparking concerns from press freedom advocates and drawing #RightWing #backlash to the #radio station.
#KCBS is considered one of the world’s first rradio stations, and formative to #SiliconValley history. Its original license goes back to #CharlesHerrold in 1909 and his radio- #telephony system. Based in San Jose, it’s historically significant as #Marconi himself.
Attacking this station which survived through two world wars, the Great Depression, and led to the development of Silicon Valley is bound to have immense significance. They’re literally attacking the nation’s oldest broadcaster, which is integral to information and American democracy!

#MaralagoJoe and Mika may have just put the last nail in the coffin of #MSNBC which had been in a pretty bad place already. I wonder how their colleagues are gonna treat them when they lose their multi-million dollar contracts thanks to their cowardice ...
