Their only issue with “media bias” was always that it wasn’t biased enough bsky.app/profile/junl...

"Anthropic is guilty not only of wildly exaggerating the capabilities of AI, and promoting dystopian fantasies of ‘AI doom’, but also quietly advocating the deeply misanthropic philosophy on which it was founded. www.spiked-online.com/2026/02/22/t...

"Inside CNN, alarm bells went off as staffers began to panic over the suddenly very real prospect that they could be working for Bari Weiss before the end of the year," reports @oliverdarcy.bsky.social. "'We are doomed,' one staffer candidly said. 'We are f**ked,' said another."

Paramount controlling CBS and CNN should be unthinkable, especially given how it turned the Tiffany Network into a trash heap. The Ellisons have promised to make "sweeping changes" to CNN. We know what the means: firing journalists, spiking stories, and replacing the news with empty propaganda.

BREAKING: WBD decided to abandon plans to sell to Netflix in favor of a Paramount Skydance bid.

My take on Willie Colón’s musical legacy www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/a...

From NYT: "In Cuba, people are struggling with frequent blackouts, shortages of gasoline and cooking gas and dwindling supplies of diesel that power the nation’s water pumps. Trash is piling up, food prices are soaring, schools are canceling classes and hospitals are suspending surgeries."

Big News: Free Press’ Courtney Morrison broke up with TikTok. 💔 Here are their 3 reasons for deleting the app (and why you should too): 1. New ownership 2. New privacy policy 3. The algorithm just won't be the same Read more here: www.freepress.net/blog/why-to-...

So sad to read…

Now Warner Bros. is censoring wrestling to appease Trump. Welcome Brody King fans to the fight against media consolidation! (Hope those F-ICE chants get louder and louder!) cultaholic.com/posts/report...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

NBC is not courageous enough to show U.S. audiences what the world thinks of the Trump White House. Wouldn't want DJT to rant about it on Truth Social. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If you can see how racist this video is, then you can also see how racist it is to sacrifice your (weak) commitments to diversity to get a deal done. You are supporting the same blatantly racist agenda.

Let's be clear: Trump's gutter racism has been elevated and excused by these same media companies. These same companies have abandoned their own employees and erased diversity and equity policies to curry favor with the Trump regime and his henchmen. www.freepress.net/policy-libra...

I'm pleased to see the NYT not mince words and call this what it is: "blatantly racist." Even CBS and The Washington Post put "racist" in their headlines. Apparently White House just took the video down and blamed a "staffer." Yeah, right. Which staffer. Did they get fired?

One of the many reasons for our nation's current crisis & constitutional collapse are due to the role powerful media and tech companies have played in capitulating to Trump and his racism. We have to reckon & redress the role these companies have played in ushering in this racist & fascist regime.

Scoop w/ @nataliekorach.bsky.social: Washington Post leadership spiked a story that had been prepared by the newspaper's media desk, covering the historic layoffs at the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/4ai6W4C

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

Heads up.

Levitsky said “the early abdication of this country's elite,” including Bezos, leaders at Disney and Columbia, “sent a powerful signal to both the Trump administration and US society that Trump was going to be able to get away with a lot. And we paid a price for it” www.status.news/p/don-lemon-...

Capital B stands in solidarity with journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, who were arrested today in connection to their coverage of an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest earlier this month at a Minneapolis church. https://capitalbnews.org/capital-b-condems-journalists-arrests/

We signed on @freepress.bsky.social in solidarity and support of this strong statement by the National Association of Black Journalists in response to the outrageous arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. nabjonline.org/blog/nabjout...

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been arrested for reporting the news. This is a brazen, unconstitutional overreach. We demand that Congress act immediately to check the executive branch’s unhinged abuse of power.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

As the powers that be find it harder to forcefeed their narrative over your lying eyes and questioning minds, the game shifts--to their seeking to use their power to silence anyone who might say anything different than what they say. fair.org/home/jenna-r...

Two journalists and five protestors have now been arrested in connection with a demonstration against an ICE field office director. Our statement @freepress.bsky.social: the First Amendment protects journalists and protestors equally. The charges must be dropped. www.freepress.net/news/unconst...

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

And now apparently they’ve come to arrest Georgia Fort, another independent journalist! bsky.app/profile/thel...

“The First Amendment protects acts of protest and acts of journalism equally. The criminalization of both journalists and protesters serves the same authoritarian project: shutting down dissenting voices or any content that deviates from the official narrative." -- @ruddock.bsky.social

Arresting journalists. Good God.

Thank you @revivallab.bsky.social (Revival Lab) for the honor in allowing me to write this column about my friend, the late Brandi Collins-Dexter, and the impact she had on me and on the struggle for media justice.

"Guys, this fascism machine we built seems to be making a lot of fascism."

We @freepress.bsky.social just released groundbreaking report by @rlivier.bsky.social analyzing corporate media’s abandoning of diversity, equity & inclusion commitments—capitulating to legally feckless mandates Trump issued to erase civil rights & representation: www.freepress.net/policy-libra...

I like this @angryblacklady.blacksky.app. As my colleague Tom Saenz says, “we have to use the whole Constitution.”

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*

I am reminded here to tap the sign encouraging you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free newsrooms how and where you are able

In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.

I am outraged but not surprised that “60 Minutes” pulled a segment critical of the Trump administration. This is the chilling effect of an administration that has made it clear that it expects censorship in exchange for regulatory favors.

The Weiss Effect: Reporter Sharyn Alfonsi "sent an indignant internal memo to colleagues saying that pulling the segment 'is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.'The memo was immediately leaked..." ca.news.yahoo.com/60-minutes-p...

Sadly @poynterinstitute.bsky.social left off the horrific unconstitutional treatment of journalist Mario Guevara. Guevara was arrested covering a protest in ATL, detained over 100 days in rural GA, deported to El Salvador for his journalistic work filming police. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...

Is this fight fix?

Has anyone asked Brendan Carr whether he told staff to scrub the word "independent" from the FCC websites so that it retroactively aligned with his shocking (and incorrect) claim that the agency served Donald Trump instead? www.youtube.com/live/cHY0dP5...

Amid the AI investment boom, cities and counties across the US are pulling the emergency brake on data centers, writes Jenna Ruddock. From Maryland to Missouri, at least fourteen states are home to towns or counties that have implemented moratoriums: a complete pause on data center development.

This was posted on X by the Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commn. It’s not that we talk about “identity” & “race” too much. It’s that they wanted to hijack the language,legitimacy & infrastructure we created to vindicate the rights of Black people & women for THEIR race & identity.
