I suspect the supposed text messages released by the FBI are a reconstruction of how the roommate remembers the exchange, created with the help of FBI interrogators. Thus the stilted language and the way it serves prosecutorial needs--without being something the roommate will disavow in court.

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

Support FAIR during this critical time! www.cambeywest.com/EXT/?f=donat... Thank you!

At the WaPo, the news that a UN commission found that Israel is committing genocide is reasonably prominent on the home page. At the NYT, you have to scroll to the bottom of the third screen to see it, & it’s not even a news article, just an “Opinion”. 😡 @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

This appears to be the post that got Karen Attiah--the Washington Post's last full-time Black opinion writer--fired from the paper.

The leading voices of MAGA are ready to declare a police state over the killing of Charlie Kirk -- carried out, as it appears, by someone even further right than Kirk.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, it was taboo to point out that his politics, and those of the MAGA movement he embraced, contributed to a culture of hatred and demonization. fair.org/home/kirk-co...

DC has seen an explosion of actions in response to Trump’s takeover. Dismissing the vibrant grassroots resistance to Trump's occupation as “only a few scattered protests" is a distortion that only serves to normalize authoritarianism. fair.org/home/when-tr...

More idiocy in the #NYTimes. Trump has a long proven record of dumping "friends" as soon as they are no longer useful to him. And why is the paper trying to humanize him, anyway? @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

The US ordered a lethal strike on a small boat that, we’re told, carried Venezuelan drug cartel members on their way to poison this pristine country of ours. How do we know that? We don’t. Who were they? We don’t know. Does it matter? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? fair.org/home/alex-ma...

I see nothing has changed since the first No Kings rally. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

No indication from the WaPo that it wasn’t just “Hamas leadership” who were targeted, but ceasefire negotiators. A rather salient point missed by the WaPo. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

WaPo quotes FOUR separate people claiming it’s not Trump’s signature on the Epstein birthday drawing despite countless examples of the identical signature elsewhere. Not good enough, WaPo. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social

FAIR: NYT Buries News That Experts on Genocide Say Israel Is Committing It fair.org/home/nyt-bur... @fairmediawatch.bsky.social ‪‬ #journalism‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ #photojournalism‬‬‬‬

During the Holocaust, the @nytimes.com shamefully buried news of the mass murder of Jews in its back pages, sometimes tucked in at the end of unrelated articles. With genocide scholars saying a new genocide is happening in #Gaza, the Times is behaving the same way. fair.org/home/nyt-bur...

In a collaboration with @fairmediawatch.bsky.social, Belly of the Beast journalist Reed Lindsay and Blake Burdge take a hard look at the Herald’s fuzzy math and the mutually beneficial relationship between Gámez Torres and pro-embargo politicians.

When the leading organization of genocide scholars overwhelmingly declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, most major outlets in the US treated that as significant news. The @nytimes.com mentioned it in the 31st paragraph of a story about something else. fair.org/home/nyt-bur...

Do better, NYTimes. Emphasize that there is no evidence that "massive amounts of" #fentanyl are coming into the U.S. from #Venezuela, and that therefore Trump's illegal, murderous attack on that boat did NOT save American lives. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Headline of this NYT article claims the Administration offered “little evidence” that the boat they blew up, killing 11 people, was carrying drugs. But in the 4th paragraph we learn it was not “little” evidence but actually 𝑛𝑜 evidence! @fairmediawatch.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

#Epstein accusers are afraid to name names. This should be the biggest news of the day -- not Trump's dishonest effort to bury the story. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social

The corporate media template: Go ahead and admit that the US government is consciously and intentionally setting refuge seekers up to “end up in brutal conditions,” but don’t bother dwelling on where that slippery slope might lead us all. fair.org/home/media-d...

WaPo says defense officials “declined to address…the legal authority used to justify the strike”, but doesn’t bother to ask a single legal expert themselves, who could have told them unequivocally that attacking a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime.

I see people going off about X as President even though that is (checks) 3 years away (one hopes)... I am reminded of @kendrawrites.com showing media mentions or name repetition ONLY helps people. fair.org/home/cuckoo-... If you do NOT WANT that person, why is their name always in your mouth?

The Miami Herald claims a “trove of secret accounting documents” proves a conglomerate run by the Cuban military has stockpiled $18 billion in cash. But it seems the Herald may have misinterpreted the one “secret” document upon which the entire article appears to hinge. fair.org/home/the-mia...

I didn’t include this grotesque example in my story yesterday for @fairmediawatch.bsky.social because the Post's original headline was very different. (I'd love to know what editor is writing these headlines -- DMs open)

The problem with anointing Newsom the savior of the Democratic Party is the paucity of evidence that rank-and-file Democrats will be excited to vote for someone who claps back at Trump on social media, when that someone has a record of harming vulnerable Americans. fair.org/home/media-l...

It’s a credit to Post reporters that they're able to produce such quality reporting in this fraught moment, even as the paper's higher-ups debase themselves and the city they call home My latest for @fairmediawatch.bsky.social fair.org/home/wapo-ed...

When the Washington Post asked 604 DC residents about Trump’s takeover, Post editors didn’t like what they said, so they took it out of the headline. fair.org/home/wapo-ed...
