Will the media learn the right lesson from the Ronna McDaniel debacle?
Sadly, #MSNBC #management couched the decision to drop #Ronna #McDaniel in a blizzard of corporate speak.
(“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)
Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”
A few ideas:
• Create a #mission #statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance. • #Stop #pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative “#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism. • Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.” • Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist #agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context. • #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating #intellect.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/29/newsletter-ronna-mcdaniel-media-alsobrooks/ #Media #RonnaMcDaniel #Debacle

#RachelMaddow joins the chorus of #NBC Newscasters in opposition to the decision to hire Fmr #RNC Chair #Ronna #McDaniel... who used the RNC to push #DarthTraitor's #FakeElector scheme in a blaintant attempt to overturn the election. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/maddow-joins-colleagues-in-objecting-to-mcdaniel-for-legitimizing-trump-attacking-democracy-207664709959

Former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has become a lightning rod in GOP circles.
Rashida Jones,#MSNBC network president, responded to backlash in the wake of a Friday announcement by NBC News that former Republican National Committee Chairwoman #Ronna #McDaniel was hired as an on-air contributor.
In that internal memo, NBC political chief, Carrie Budoff Brown, said McDaniel would contribute “across all NBC platforms"
Jones now says MSNBC has no plans to have former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on the cable network

#NBC News was hit with widespread criticism for hiring former Republican National Committee chair #Ronna #McDaniel as a commentator.
McDaniel will make her debut Sunday on "Meet the Press," and she will appear on both NBC and its left-leaning #MSNBC cable network whose hosts she decried as "primetime propagandists" less than a year ago.

During her time as chair, McDaniel repeatedly attacked the press,
-- an increasingly popular tactic in Republican circles over the last several years as Donald Trump demonized journalists and news institutions.McDaniel echoed many such attacks, labeling the press as “fake news” and calling the media “corrupt.” At times, she even targeted NBC News and MSNBC with dishonest attacks.
In 2019, for instance, McDaniel accused Richard Engel, NBC News’ chief foreign correspondent, of “actively cheering for an economic downturn.”
“How can NBC let him keep his job when he’s made his bias so clear?” McDaniel asked.#NBC #Ronna #McDaniel #Carrie #Budoff #Brown #Rachel #Maddow

#NBC hires former RNC chair #Ronna #McDaniel, who has
🔸demonized the press; and
🔸refused to acknowledge Biden was fairly electedMcDaniel, the former Republican National Committee chair has repeatedly attacked the network and its journalists, assailed the news media as “fake news” and promoted false claims around the 2020 vote, as an on-air commentator ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” #Carrie #Budoff #Brown, 💥senior vice president of politics at NBC News, 💥said in a memo to staff.
An NBC spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment about her attacks on the news media and NBC.
NBC’s hiring of McDaniel, however, plays into 👉 a recent trend at the network’s outlets, which has seemingly 🌟softened its stance on Trump 🌟as he inches toward the Republican nomination for president.
Earlier this month, ♦️CNBC hosted Trump for a lengthy phone interview in which the network’s anchors allowed him to ♦️peddle lies and conspiracy theories on air without scrutiny.
MSNBC has even started 🔹carrying Trump’s remarks live on television, a practice that 🔹the network boasted for years it would not do.
Star host #Rachel #Maddow, who has said carrying Trump’s lies on the air is dangerous, even objected to the network broadcasting a recent speech from the presumptive Republican nominee, calling it
🔥“irresponsible.”🔥McDaniel has a lengthy history attacking the progressive cable news channel MSNBC, 🔸on which she will appear in her new role. 🔸
In recent years, she has repeatedly attacked the channel for “spreading lies” and blasted those she described as the network’s “primetime propagandists.”

Bomb i Södertälje kopplad till bomb i Djursholm?
Natten till igår exploderade en bomb vid en lägenhet på högsta våningen i ett hus med loftgångar på Robert Anbergs väg i Ronna, Södertälje. Adressen ligger precis vid Ronna Centrum. Vid explosionen skadades en ung man i 25-årsåldern.

CW: SI prefixes, naming conventions, press pressure, and the need to avoid obscenities.
"A further short history of the #SI #prefixes" by Richard J C Brown in Metrologia, musing about #naming conventions, the recently adopted 10^27 (#Ronna; R) and 10^30 (#Quetta; Q) - and the need to avoid obscenities in Portuguese with that one - as well as naming pressure exuded by popular #science #writing (and likely #sciencefiction ).

“Het metrisch systeem heeft vier nieuwe voorvoegsels om het immens grote of het enorm kleine weer te geven [...] Het is de eerste keer deze eeuw dat het Internationale Stelsel van Eenheden of het SI-stelsel nieuwe voorvoegsel aanneemt. De invoering is beslist op de 27e Conférence générale des poids et mesures (CGPM) in Versailles. Op de vergadering is ook beslist om ten laatste vanaf 2035 geen schrikkelseconden meer in te voeren.”

hey babe wake up, new numbers just dropped

Big data?
The SI system is getting four new prefixes. Within the next decade or so we'll be generating around a yottabyte (10^24) of data annually, so the General Conference on Weights and Measures is introducing ronna (10^27) & quetta (10^30) on the big side and ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30) on the small side.
-
Let me introduce you to the new giants Ronna and Quetta and their indefinitesmal siblings Ronto and Quecto.
These are official new prefixes to the SI metric system.
Quetta: 10³⁰
Ronna: 10²⁷
Ronto: 10⁻²⁷
Quecto: 10⁻³⁰For perspective: the earth has a mass of around 6 ronnagramm (6Rg).

#Einheitensystem: Vier neue Präfixe für extrem große und extrem kleine Zahlen
TIL: Die Erste ist in etwa 1 Ronnagramm schwer. 😀

The Earth now weighs 6 ronnagrams. What does that mean? Find out in this news story from the Washington Post https://wapo.st/3XgZMX5 :-)
