Excellent and important prediction/warning from @pbump.

Our research shows how journalists can (and should!) successfully defend themselves:

Stop treating it like normal political negotiation; it's economic terrorism. They don't have the votes for the budget cuts they want so they're threatening to burn down the world economy to get their way. If you don't have votes for what you want to do, go win elections.

@deaneckles Yes. And effects in typical one-shot experiments may greatly underestimate effects that accumulate over repetition in the real world. Need more true experiments that involve repetition, like this: https://t.co/BsEk66XDdZ

🚨New Publication Alert 🚨

I’m very happy to share that our study on the effects of racialized news during the early #COVID19 pandemic has been published in the Int Journal of Comm❗️#mediaeffects

[Ray Pingree @pingree]

News about how other countries have more successfully solved the same problem is an underused and understudied form of journalism. We find impressive benefits of such comparative news in the case of #COVID19 https://t.co/XI1e9jzWLZ

[Martina Santia @Martina_Santia]

What happens when we see news on other countries’ #COVID19 policies?

In our latest @PLOSONE article, we report interesting effects on knowledge of policy differences, support for adopting similar policies, presidential blame, and trust in health experts

Reinstated is such a big word. Are we sure he didn’t mean incarcerated?

New research in @PLOSONE from our assoc. prof. Ray Pingree found op/eds can restore the belief that politically impartial truth-seeking is possible.

Check out these two wonderful examples of defending impartiality (which we used as the stimulus in study 2): former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith @thenewsoncnbc and NYTimes columnist @nytdavidbrooks. https://t.co/zPQhrR9dmF

[Ray Pingree @pingree]

Cynical rhetoric has undermined faith in vital truth-seeking professions including journalism, science, and justice. Our study found that op/eds can restore the belief that politically impartial truth-seeking is possible. https://t.co/8sjESzbzBo

Damn right. For the full effect watch the clip.

Thousands die every year from blood clots after reading shitty journalism. Also after eating breakfast. Time order is not evidence of causality. Millions are getting the vaccine. There will be coincidences.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I have one message to members of Congress who amplified lies to undermine our democracy, encouraged an attack on our Capitol, and tried to overturn our election:

Resign.

If your lust for power exceeds your dedication to democracy, there is simply no place for you in Congress.
