@DonLDay hahah, no it is not. And yet ... I read it. I think the fact that the donation was so LOW compared to his net worth was what aroused my curiosity and that was never addressed, so it was ... weird.
@DonLDay You must be referring to the famous author worth hundreds of millions of dollars donating $6,500 to school children in Maine that earned coverage from CNN. https://t.co/S1AFoBZOVr
Sustainable and organic growth at @BoiseDev. Can't say it enough: an incredible model for local news.
Local news everywhere should be following this framework.
How does TV cover normalcy instead of deviance? By listening to that majority that defeated Trumpism, reporting on the circumstances, needs, and views of those communities (note the plural). Instead, TV makes deviance the price of attention.
Suspension of accounts is step one, step two is implementing a policy which reflects the fact that powerful individuals need more restrictions, and *more* scrutiny from platforms ...rather than less
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that the House would move to impeach President Trump over his role in inciting the violent mob attack on the Capitol if he didn't resign "immediately," appealing to Republicans to join the push to force him from office. https://t.co/pP4o2786Yq
Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.
I hope news organizations are doing everything they can to support the mental health of journalists who for years have been covering presidential gaslighting and verbal abuse, violent threats online and on the streets, and white mob violence and insurrection.
I wish journalists had this kind of support now, the kind of support that can ensure they can do the patriotic work needed to tell the truth about life in the U.S. as it really is, not as we wish it to be.
