The arrests of reporters Georgia Fort and Don Lemon for engaging in journalism are outrageous.

The Media and Democracy Project, and many other press freedom groups, joined this statement by the National Association of Black Journalists #NABJ

The NABJ interview with Trump provides a model for media coverage

Trump’s #NABJ appearance also afforded #Harris the opportunity later on Wednesday to 🔸rebuke his hateful rhetoric in a way that made him look like a sad has-been. 🔸

“It was the same old show. The #divisiveness and the #disrespect,”
she declared in a speech in Houston.

“And let me just say: The American people deserve better. The American people deserve better.”

She continued, “The American people deserve a leader who tells the #truth,
a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the #facts.
We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us.
They are an essential source of our #strength.”

🌟That’s how one puts Trump in his place without getting into a personal spat with him.


🌟No other single interview or media encounter with Trump in this cycle has laid bare as much about the candidate or opened him up to as much criticism.

👍Kudos go to Scott and her co-moderators in Chicago.

The NABJ interview also raises a troubling question:
❓What’s wrong with the rest of the media?❓


Not one question in the CNN-hosted debate with Trump and President Biden on June 27 confronted Trump about #racism or #antisemitism.

(As to the latter, there has been inadequate coverage
— certainly not on the front page of most papers or headlining cable news
— devoted to Trump’s disparaging comments that ...
any Jew who does not support him is a “fool” and “should have their head examined,”

or agreement with a radio host who called Harris’s husband
a “crappy Jew❗️”)

CNN’s debate moderators
🔹did not ask about pardons for Jan. 6. insurrectionists.🔹


Unfortunately,
too many in the mainstream political media have been 🔹taken in by Republican spin. 🔹

The preposterous suggestion that,
after the assassination attempt,
Trump might have “changed,”
entertained as a possibility by far too many outlets

(as The Post’s Philip Bump and a select number of other commentators pointed out),

unsurprisingly turned out to be
#wishful #thinking.

We saw him stalk #Hillary across the stage, though this #debate would be a different format that wouldn't allow for that.

He "personally" attacked Rachel Scott at #NABJ, and came ever-so-close to calling her a #NastyWoman. #misogyny #Misogynist #MisogynistInChief

The #NationalAssociationofBlackJournalists (#NABJ) welcomed Trump to #insult them and spread #lies about #KamalaHarris.

The #Professional #Media #organization has #hosted #controversialspeakers before, including one whose long ago #speech was a #warning

Let's not ignore the role his incredible #Misogyny played in his behavior at the #NABJ. #MisogynistInChief
