Our reporter visited a potential source’s home, where he introduced himself as a reporter and they had a pleasant conversation.
A few days later, VA Secretary Doug Collins sent out a tweet that accused our reporter of trying to “stalk” the employee.

I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement
"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.
It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"

It's amazing that we have folks from the traditional German media like @3sat, @tagesschau or @NDR attending the #Fediday , but I can't find any mention to the event on their #fediverse accounts?
Did I just miss it or are they afraid of the (still) atypical?
My apologies if I didn't search well enough.

Hey some nerd (me) is quoted here in this Columbia Journalism Review story about how low-power FM radio stations weathered federal funding cuts by being too small to be eligible for federal funding... in contrast to NPR. The invulnerability of the truly grassroots? 📻💚

In brief, the role of the media is not to tell the truth, but instead to tell us what the elites want us to think. You grew up with it, it has helped form your opinions.
AI slop is threatening journalism by churning out clickbaity versions of original stories, capturing web traffic, and destroying readers' trust in media. NiemanLab's Ben Paviour takes a look at how it's proliferating, with the help of Google.

Stop autopromocji za nasze pieniądze! ❌
Media prowadzone przez samorządy najczęściej nie informują, lecz przede wszystkim promują lokalne władze – i to z publicznych środków. Ministerstwo zapowiadało zakaz finansowania takiej pseudoprasy, ale nie znalazł się on w projekcie nowej ustawy medialnej.
To problem dla demokracji lokalnej
➤ propaganda zamiast rzetelnej informacji ❌
➤ nieuczciwa konkurencja wobec niezależnych mediów ❌
➤ presja na dziennikarzy i osłabianie kontroli władzy ❌
Jeśli włodarze dobrze rządzą, obronią się wynikami, nie promocją za publiczne pieniądze. Mieszkańcy i mieszkanki zasługują na obiektywne treści, nie gazetki „prasowe” tylko z nazwy.
👉 Weź udział w konsultacjach publicznych nowej ustawy medialnej i daj znać, że jesteś przeciwko wydawaniu publicznych pieniędzy na autopromocję.
Przygotowałem formularz z gotowymi wzorami, zachęcam do skorzystania:
https://mateusz-jarczynski.pl/przeciwko-mediom-samorzadowym/
Konsultacje są otwarte do jutra, czyli 23.01. Nie odkładaj tego na później.

Wag the Dog, #Venezuela: #Democrats Must Relentlessly Expose #Trump
Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes
But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

“In my two decades as a reporter, I’ve sat at many kitchen tables with grieving mothers,” ProPublica reporter Megan Rose writes.
“Talking with Holly, though, was the first time I’d done so as a mother myself. Her sorrow hit me differently.”

"The 'Why I’m Leaving Substack' post is the new 'Goodbye to All That,'” writes Sarah Scrier for NiemanLab. Some top newsletter writers — including Anne Helen Petersen, Lyz Lenz, and Virginia Sole-Smith — have left Substack for Patreon. Email delivery issues, poor technical support and an overemphasis on social features were reasons for their departure. Both Petersen and Lenz also referenced Substack's platforming of Nazis and hate speech in their farewell notes. Here's more.
