NOW YOU CAN WASH AWAY THOSE NASTY REDACTION STAINS! #journalism101
Often in response to @TBIJ #FOIA requests black redaction blocks hide the juicy details. Sometimes (as with @ben_stockton’s Barracks story this week bit.ly/38aCmL4) you can crack this and here’s how...

This isn’t some big secret & if they’ve done the job properly you won’t crack the redaction.
But! It’s always worth copy & pasting it into a Word document (other flavours are available) as @chantaladasilva did (and don’t worry if the format changes as below).

For our case, most of the key lines in the site report were in the unredacted sections but it was still useful to see the whole doc.
It only works if they’ve redacted by setting background colour to black, so: highlight the black section & just switch the theme colour to white.

What a hatchet job. @rwillingham has joined the haters. This column should be set as a #journalism101 example. Call it, "Framing A Premier: how to seem reasonable while laying a biased narrative." Actually a brief survey reveals most of his columns are anti-Labor. #fuckoffABC
The test for bias in a story is fairly simple: "Could it have been framed to give a different impression?" A truly objective story is difficult to alter. This story is biased as it frames the narrative with key conclusions that don't necessarily meet a fair and reasonable test.
I am surprised to find this - most of Willingham's recent columns are framed with similar anti-Labor narratives. There is not one story about the Liberal opposition. Nothing about Tim Smith's inflammatory tweets, or the ongoing rifts within the party leadership.
FYI if you see reporting on “grassroots activists”with #TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw protest @WhiteHouse & nationwide today 5pm EST, here is back story: protest is “powered” by @MoveOn with a “nonpartisan” 501(c)4 lobbying org that acts as defacto @DNC. #transparency #followthemoney
2) Hi @CNN @wolfblitzer @CillizzaCNN you are reporting the protests at Time Square without telling viewers that @MoveOn, a partisan lobbying group organized the protests nationwide. See my thread. It’s no secret.
3) FYI you should know the organizer too @JFKucinich @thedailybeast and report it’s partisan @MoveOn that organized the protests. They are not “grassroots.” They are AstroTurf via a lobbying group.
