    > Raffi Berg may be fighting for damages, but it's really the #BBC in the dock – for being utterly wedded to an editor whose objectivity on Israel is so clearly in doubt

  3. In her note, Alfonsi said that her team had requested comment from the #WhiteHouse, the #State Department, & #DHS. “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient,” Alfonsi wrote.

  4. “For those people that think I am close with the new owners of #CBS, please understand that #60Minutes has treated me far worse since the so-called ‘takeover,’ than they have ever treated me before,” #Trump complained on Truth Social last week.

  5. Ellison is currently making a hostile bid to outmaneuver a rival company, #Netflix, & acquire the media behemoth #WarnerBrosDiscovery. He has been courting Trump’s support for his bid, but #Trump has used recent episodes of “#60Minutes” to suggest he is displeased with Ellison’s stewardship of #CBS.

  6. “Thank you for making this city safe, because no parent should have to go through what my family went through,” #BennyJohnson told Press Sec Leavitt.

    In fact, #police records show, NOBODY has been murdered since at least 2017 on the block Johnson lived in #Washington. And his home was NOT burned, though his next-door neighbor’s house was “intentionally set” on fire, acc/to the city’s fire department. Johnson left Washington permanently in 2021.

  7. #BennyJohnson took the opportunity at the briefing to recount what he claimed was his own experience with crime in the nation’s capital in recent years. He said that he had recorded murders on a camera outside his home, & that his “house was set ablaze in an arson.” Any claims that #Washington wasn’t dangerous, he said, were “lies.”

  8. He Plagiarized & Promoted Falsehoods.
    The White House Embraces Him.

    #BennyJohnson, a #FarRight podcaster, has enjoyed rare access & promotion from the #Trump admin.

    The day after Trump announced the #federal #takeover of law enforcement in #Washington, the White House invited the podcaster Benny Johnson to sit in what is called the new media seat at the admin’s press briefing. The privilege includes being called on first.

  10. #Smartmatic compiled previously unreported text messages & emails between #Fox employees, along with comments made in sworn #depositions, in an effort to persuade the judge in the long-running case to rule in its favor. Smartmatic’s motion was originally filed in late April, but a judicial hearing officer decided only recently that many of the redactions obscuring parts of the original filings should be removed.

  11. “I work so hard for the party across the country,” #JeaninePirro now the #USattorney for #DC, told #RonnaMcDaniel in the message, acc/to newly #unredacted #court documents made public Tues in filings by the voting technology company #Smartmatic, which in 2021 filed a $2.7B #defamation lawsuit against #Fox over its #2020election #lies. “I’m the Number 1 watched show on all news cable all weekend. I work so hard for the President & party.”

  12. 3. Cheering for the red team
    
The conceit of #FoxNews has always been that its opinion hosts are #conservative but its news-side produces real, #neutral #journalism. That conceit has repeatedly been called into question by disclosures showing that it viewed itself as allied w/the #GOP & the furtherance of its goals.
    
Additional disclosures reinforce that contradiction.

  13. “…Carlson has repeatedly questioned ofcl accounts of 1/6, downplaying the insurrection as ‘vandalism.’

    “Now his shows — ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ on #FoxNews, & ‘Tucker Carlson Today’ & ‘Tucker Carlson Originals’ on the streaming service FoxNation — have a massive trove of raw material.”
