This week, the Federal Communications Commission, in a 2-1 vote, overturned a key media ownership rule protecting the diversity of viewpoints in our news and entertainment. This decision, which has been made by a Republican majority, allows bigger corporations to acquire a significantly greater share of local news. If this is to be […] -

In one thumb-typed paragraph he confirmed the reporting he meant to deny, at the hour the comms team had clocked out
The reporting: CNN counted nearly 80% of the THAAD interceptor inventory expended and roughly half the Patriots. Reuters says the Army burned virtually all of ATACMS and PrSM. The Payne Institute counted almost 11,300 munitions in sixteen days

As you have it in your power, sir, to do some service to letters, I implore you not to clip the wings of our writers so closely, nor to turn into barn-door fowls those who, allowed a start, might become eagles; reasonable liberty permits the mind to soar — slavery makes it creep.
[Puisque vous êtes, monsieur, à portée de rendre service aux belles-lettres, ne rognez pas de si près les ailes à nos écrivains, et ne faites pas des volailles de basse-cour de ceux qui, en prenant l’essor, pourraient devenir des aigles: une liberté honnête élève l’esprit, et l’esclavage le fait ramper.]Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]

The new rule from #DHS creates a fixed time period for F visas for students, J visas that allow visitors on #CulturalExchange programs to work in the US, & I visas for members of the #media. Those visas are currently available for the duration of the program or employment in the #US.

who reported on Wednesday that Mr. Trump had departed Turkey on the old Air Force One as a security precaution at the urging of the Secret Service.

Natanson had spent months speaking with govt employees while reporting on the #Trump admin’s efforts to shrink the federal work force.

#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.
