Over nine days, Laura Ingraham:
1) Disclosed Trump's campaign as a podcast sponsor
2) Defended a white supremacist
3) Traveled to Europe covering Trump's trip
4) Interviewed the president

I realize that Fox is gonna Fox, but I admit being a little surprised that there isn't more attention on Trump getting interviewed by someone literally receiving money from his campaign. Seems iffy!
Speaking of Fox's general unwillingness to honor basic media ethics, @ehananoki has the scoop on Fox Nation hosts campaigning for Republicans in apparent violation of the network's stated (but unenforced) standards: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/0…

1. The Trump-Fox feedback loop is dangerous in part because the network's hosts float conspiracy theories and bullshit that could panic the president if he's watching, with terrible consequences. We seem to have really dodged a bullet there this week. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/1…
2. There's an Ebola outbreak right now in Congo, with more than 2,000 confirmed cases. As they did during the 2014 outbreak, far-right conspiracy sites like Infowars and Gateway Pundit have been warning that undocumented immigrants crossing the Mexican border could be infected.
3. On Monday night, that conspiracy theory jumped to to Laura Ingraham's Fox News show. Her millions of viewers were exposed to fearmongering about the "public health concern" of Ebola-infected Congolese refugees spreading the disease in San Antonio.

If, like me, you were confused by that @CJR "public editor" announcement, Snyder, who will be covering The New York Times, explains the position's contours.
It is good that CJR is putting more resources into covering the nation's most powerful outlets, though I will note that that's... not exactly what the "public editor" position has traditionally entailed. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/0…

Thanks to everyone who offered condolences, shared stories about @SimonMaloy, or donated to his family's fund yesterday. The outpouring of support, from liberals, leftists, conservatives, journalists, activists, and other Twitterers, helped on a very trying day.
If you haven't already, you can help here:
It seems fitting that Simon's passing could make this hellsite good, however briefly.

President #Trump will meet with the President of Switzerland at the White House tomorrow. 🤔🤔🤔
I see several media people stating it probably has to do with Iran, which could very well be....

In the statement, though, it says they will discuss "matters such as Switzerland's role in facilitating diplomatic relationships AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL ISSUES."

I wonder if anything will come up about the Swiss banks and related investigations that have been going on. 🤔

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
