  1. @slashdot

    Between Slashdot and the cited Wired article, the only source provided is a Microsoft employee who *certainly* had no reason to be less than honest.

    Giving them far more credit than they deserve, I want to see the published findings and methods

    Using my brain along with the available evidence, I think I’ll just disregard this nonsense on its face



  2. Hey The News? Your headlines about the ego parade are appalling. Know what really brought "1000s" out to DC? #NoKings Millions if you count every state. Stop glorifying Trump's ego fest. He called the military "suckers/losers," he uses them as props, he exploits them. #JournalisticMalpractice

  3. the full line is "When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox." (emphasis mine)

    That's legalese for "when you use firefox to put data on the internet, you can't sue us for putting that data on the internet bc telling our browser to send your data somewhere is the same as giving us permission to do that"

    This is a completely reasonable thing for them to state; to cut the quote off as in the OP is at best misleading and at worst malicious and inflammatory.

  4. I hope @mediabiasfactcheck or others put some actual effort into studying the insane media bias that stained the entire 2024 election cycle, from reminding us every 5 minutes that Biden is old and questioning his mental fitness constantly, to writing excuses for Stupid and suddenly ceasing to find any interest in age and mental fitness once Harris took the torch, to the relentless sanewashing of Stupid while holding Harris to a far higher standard, even back to the months and year prior to the election, when they were constantly banging the drum of a recession that never happened and giving people the impression that the economy was terrible, despite all evidence to the contrary.

    The media not only failed to educate people about what was really going on, they actively participated in promulgating the distortion perceived by the public.

  5. In Trump-land …
    - Rally speaker called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”
    - Elon Musk promised “tank the economy” means “hardship” for the middle class
    - Mike Johnson promised to kill Obamacare if Trump wins
    - Musk PAC carted door knockers around in the back of a UHaul

    Yet in WaPo, NYT, political journalism-land … the focus is on a gaffe

    #USPolitics #Election2024 #journalisticMalpractice

  6. Why is Biden’s one-time GAFFE a “firestorm,” Axios, but Trump’s repeated epithets(“poisoning blood”) and flat out lies (“eating dogs and cats”) is ho-f….ing-hum?

  7. This is how USA today reported on the Dear Leader's racist rally at Madison Square Garden. It speaks for itself.

  8. Eugene Robinson details “The double standard for Harris and Trump” in this column. He laments vapid news coverage.

    “Somehow, it is apparently baked into this campaign that Trump is allowed to talk and act like a complete lunatic while Harris has to be perfect in every way.”

  9. This piece in Wapo about Trump's insane speech does a good job of portraying how confused and nonsensical and deranged it was.
    archive.is/20241002153832/http

    Then you read the Times article on the same speech, and sure, they describe it as disjointed, but they very determinedly try to make sense of it and turn it into actual coherent points, because they just refuse to say "Trump made no sense for over an hour." #JournalisticMalpractice

  10. CW: USpol, Media bias

    It's not just us noticing that the NY Times frequently bends over backwards to sanewash that blithering moron in an effort to make him appear to be a coherent adult instead of a deranged, demented dimwit.

  11. Dear @cnn, stop using non-scientific framing.

    There IS NO HEART at “six weeks” (four weeks after conception). There are NO developed organs..

    So there CANNOT BE a heartbeat.

    The embryo is less than 1/4” in length

    Dammit.

  12. "Delusional and unsettling": #Trump forgets there was no #debate audience, claims crowd "went crazy"

    Appearing on Fox News, the 78-year-old Republican claimed that he won over an audience that did not exist

  13. HOW DID I MISS THIS???

    Could it be because the follow up was non-existent? Google isn’t giving anything about the guy and very little on his indictment two weeks ago.

    “Frank Carillo, 66, is accused of posting more than 4,000 comments …threaten[ing] several public officials, including Harris…”

  14. Because news organizations rarely report good news and somehow manage to slant it when they do.

    Also, grocery store price gouging is real.

  15. Trump's calls for blood: when fact checkers confuse substance and precision

    Yes, Harris combined two speeches. Had she said “there will be blood” instead of the shorthand, bloodbath, the fact checkers would have been silent.

    But the substance – that Trump is calling for ‘bloody’ mass deportation with no apparent thought about consequences – is true.

  16. Reminder from @TheGuardian that the mess that is today’s news coverage of Trump started in 2016:

    “in a scathing analysis of 2016 election coverage, the Columbia Journalism Review noted that ‘in just six days, The New York Times ran as many cover stories about Hillary Clinton’s emails as they did about all policy issues combined in the 69 days leading up to the election’.”

  17. Trump pivots from lies to threats; most news organizations ignore the shift

    If you go to the home page of the New York Times, the Washington Post or CNN looking for information about what is at stake in November, you’ll be greeted by stories about polls: educated guesses about what voters might do in less than 60 days. What you won’t see are headlines like these:

  18. Seeking headlines, #Trump announces “plan” to sue the federal government.

    Reporters bite. As they always do.

    IF he files, THEN report it. 🤦🏼‍♀️
    Until then, It Is Rumor. FFS.

  19. The only people saying what Tom Nichols writes here are independent journalists, a few traditional opinion/columnists, and magazine journalists.

    It’s criminal malpractice.

    How many dissertations will come out of media failures from 2015-2025 (anticipating because you know he’ll contest the results).

  20. Mifepristone is a drug used in about 2/3 of abortions. When a reporter asked Donald #Trump Thursday if he would ban mifepristone, a “yes/no” question, nonsense followed.

    Where are the editorials lambasting this man’s cognitive state?

    In an extraordinarily pointed commentary, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell took the political reporters in that room to the woodshed, characterizing the press corps as “tame and reserved and polite.”

  21. The #DCpressCorp—the #reporters who attend #pressConferences, and ask questions—are a complete and utter #disgrace, and have so thoroughly failed the #AmericanPeople that I don't understand how they can look at themselves in the mirror and do their job with anything approaching pride.

    Please take 15min to watch #LawrenceODonnell explain exactly why I say this. Afterwards, I promise you'll feel the same way.
