Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:Quite simply, most journalists that work for these prestigious news orgs are dependent on their government/intelligence sources for their amazing scoops on whether General McRaven thinks Trump is a turd or not. These orgs do not publish stories that can damage those important relationships. you're wrong about this and it's the difference between RT and news. the washington post publishing the snowden leaks is the biggest example I can think of from this decade.

tetrapyloctomy posted:"Trump deserves blame because he has stupid demands, but what about the Democrats who refuse to capitulate with the stupid demands?!" the tweet has at least generated a decent amount of backlash and discussion about how to improve the journalistic value of fact checks, and how to distinguish fact checks as they're generally thought of (calling someone out when they're attempting to mislead) from 'fact checks' providing information which would only be useful to a person who recently awoke from a 30 year coma

interesting devil-in-the-details analysis from herequote:Republicans, badly damaged by the 2017 campaign to repeal the Affordable Care Act, have struggled to craft a powerful message against Medicare-for-all. One argument against it, that it was a "$32 trillion takeover” of health insurance, fell flat in the midterms. A much more promising line of attack is about the bill's implications for private insurance, and the necessity to raise taxes to replace insurance premiums. This month's Kaiser tracking poll found 56 percent of voters backing “Medicare-for-all” — but 60 percent of them opposing “higher taxes,” 60 percent opposing a “threat to the current Medicare program” and 58 percent against “eliminating private insurance companies.” So you've got 56% for m4a in principle, but 58-60% against implementing it. The good news is that's not a HUGE gap, but it does seem to indicate that campaigning on "americans want m4a" is a plan with some holes in it. And hey, the republicans did great running on repealing obamacare while ignoring the details - it's just the election after that where things got messy.

Discendo Vox posted:I'm not saying it's fake, I'm saying it's a bad faith medium post by an opposition researcher. C'mon. Rigel posted:Yeah, even if you grant every allegation as an agreed fact and read it in the worst light possible, its definitely not illegal, nor is it really unreasonable. You aren't going to be able to hire skilled staff for a seemingly longshot no-hope primary campaign, and if you are lucky enough to have friends and family putting in a lot of hours helping you, there's nothing wrong with going into debt to reimburse them. Of course, people might ask what you would have done with that debt if you lost, but she won.

double nine posted:is maggie haberman a journalist worth reading reporting of? I'm seeing her get a bunch of mentions in my feed but she seems like a generic press pool reporter. she does very little analysis in the her nyt work, it's generally very well-sourced reporting of white house machinations. People here despise her because it's straight reporting and her work doesnt make a point of specifically saying "oh by the way, all this poo poo is awful and these people are telling me this stuff to stab each other in the back"

Her mother worked/works for a ny pr firm that represented trump in/since the 90s, which isn’t really surprising since he was a New York personality. That’s quite a big difference from how you’ve framed it. Anyway here’s some news https://mobile.twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1101245624115232768

Flesh Forge posted:I don't disagree in principle that the DNC should not get to decide, but them trying to influence how news plays out is not really something to flip out over In the grand scheme of things it's tiny, but in terms of journalistic ethics it's pretty not good. I also don't really think he was flipping out, I think he was talking about/reporting on some (in his view) unethical behaviour from a colleague. He didn't write a story or anything, it's just some tweets.

Oracle posted:No this is legit, military's been warning them about their potential 5G security issues for years. Then after they found the tiny little microchips on motherboards all that doomsaying took on new urgency. All the tech companies involved in this story deny it, and no other reporting outfit has collaborated the reporting (and they tried). It is probably not true. Having said that, you'd be dumb to assume huawei is not in bed with the chinese government (much like you'd be dumb to assume US based vendors don't also have backdoors)

This is an interesting and deeply reported piece. There's a lot of stuff in here that people will "know" but now there's actual proof and details https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-security/cia-crypto-encryption-machines-espionage/ tl;dr the us and west germany owned a company that sold crypto machines around the world, they weakened the crypto so they could decrypt the communications, and they sold the compromised machines to whoever would buy them including all but their closest allies. Explains why they're so upset about huawei being used for 5g - it's only funny when it happens to someone else.
