  18. Some stories don’t need to be retold. They need to be re-aimed. When adaptation swaps urgency for ego, laughter for anger, and warning for spectacle, the message dissolves. From Good Night, and Good Luck to A Sound of Thunder, this is what happens when we mistake repetition for relevance.

  20. When the Islamic Republic silences its people with internet blackouts, it should not be given a platform for propaganda. NetBlocks is right to demand transparency from @WSJ: how was the op-ed submitted, and why was the opposition denied equal access? Those who violate universal human rights must not be allowed to lie unchallenged.

  23. Ah, the Washington Post: a bastion of unbiased journalism—except when it forgets to mention that its owner is the moneybags Jeff Bezos himself. 🤔🤑 Who knew that a billionaire might just have a teeny-tiny conflict of interest in the news he owns? 📰💸

  27. ## The Myth of Objectivity
    **Subtitle:** When neutrality becomes complicity

    In trauma reporting, “objectivity” is often a mask for distance.
    Equal airtime for harm and denial isn’t balance — it’s erasure.
    Neutrality comforts power; empathy clarifies truth.

    I don’t want reporters to be neutral. I want them to be *accurate*.
    That means admitting where they stand, why they care, and who gets harmed when they pretend not to.
    Transparency isn’t bias — it’s integrity.

  28. Words matter: Calling the Cebu quake "powerful" and leading with official death tallies pushes a Government-led Humanitarian Response script that sanitizes responsibility. Euphemisms like "state of calamity" and "rescue operations" flatten structural neglect. Demand reporting that names causes and accountability. france24.com/en/video/20251001 #Philippines #MediaEthics
