You nailed it. If corporate media is broken, *this* is the chief way in which it's broken.

*Every* corporate media outlet and primetime TV broadcast should be hiring curatorial journalists whose job it is to simply *connect related stories released across a long period of time*.
PS/ We'll get there eventually. In the meantime, a whole generation of curatorial journalists will be attacked, belittled, lied about, discredited...all so that no one need admit we have too *much* (not too little) good journalism and the issue is none of it is being *connected*.
PS2/ This feed is followed by thousands of journalists/outlets from around the world; no one is confused anymore about what I do. I don't even think they question the need for it. What they question is whether they can or should *admit* the need for it, as it exposes a blindspot.

In PROOF OF COLLUSION (2018), I wrote of how contestants/judges in Trump's Miss Universe pageant insisted Trump helped choose winners based on the nations Trump Org does business in. Now that he runs America as a business, you think his billions in Turkish business is immaterial?
1/ Please don't fool yourself: Trump permitted Russia to invade Europe because he had business he wanted to do in Russia. He'll allow the Turks to commit genocide against the Kurds because of the business he has in Turkey. Anyone who has researched his life and career knows this.
2/ Every single Trump scandal, both pre- and post-election, has the same outline: Donald Trump will commit crimes and cause irreparable harm to people's lives/reputations to advance his business and/or political interests. This is what he does, and he does it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

(NOTE) Wonder why Trump is trying to run out the clock until the 2020 elections? Because there's a growing body of evidence that the pro-Trump attack on America by the Kremlin in mid-2020 will be so powerful it can't be stopped—and will ensure a Trump win. forbes.com/sites/zakdoffm…
PS/ Of all Trump's treacherous betrayals of his country, the most important is one we never talk about: he's deliberately left America naked to a massive 2020 Russian cyberattack—not to mention attacks from Saudi Arabia, Israel and the UAE—that he knows will carry him to victory.
PS2/ It's always seemed bizarre to me that *more than a year before* the 2020 election, Trump's favorite talking point is Democrats "can't win"—especially as the next time Trump wins the popular vote will be his first. He seems to be narrative-building for a shady win he expects.

It's a reasonable bet the White House shredders have been working day and night as the House dithers about using courts to enforce its subpoenas for documents. The mistake Democrats have consistently made is in saying—but not really *understanding*—they're dealing with criminals.
PS/ And as for digital records, there's already an *enormous* amount of evidence (see PROOF OF CONSPIRACY) that Trump's agents, aides, allies, and associates have been systematically deleting all their emails, texts, and other relevant communications for many, *many* months now.
PS2/ In the history of federal criminal investigations, there's *never* been such systematic obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence and consciousness of guilt as we've seen in the Trump-Russia probe—including, now, its Trump-Ukraine facets. We're all in uncharted waters.

#Turkey: President #Erdogan has made new pledges, including sweeping #reforms and some changes in the cabinet. I hope the coming #Reforms include the #Media in #Turkey- especially the new highly-budgeted #TRTWorld. I can only hope.
A strong, journalistically ethical, and effective multi-language #media is greatly needed for not only #Turkey, but for the rest of the world to obtain multi-sided information and news on Turkey. This is the age of #InformationWarfare and so far Turkey is light years behind.
Well, my message to #Turkey #President is here on the record; currently Pinned- should Read all in Bold.- - - “After Istanbul loss, Turkey's Erdogan vows to listen to people's 'messages' | The Japan Times” japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/06/2…

Media that covers #Media #Publishing #Journalism #tech #SocialNetworks is often critical of traffic-driving algorithms, distribution of ad revenue, personal data collection/sale. Yet these writers have the ability to get users to force change. /1 notd.io/notes/56844813…
Most of the abuses that this sector of media is critical about come from internet giants, who pay lip service in response, because those abuses are very profitable, & regulation is unlikely in the US & users not motivated enough to change their usage of networks. /2
US regulation that would help stop the criticized practices is unlikely to help, mainly because Congress isn't qualified to design these regulations, so they would leave it to lobbyists working for the industry to be regulated /3

Mega Thread of Opinion (1 of 52)

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

Taps twitter mic. Thread comin' #KavanaughHearings
The Daily today helped me understand that the GOP wants to see #KavanaughHearings as a trial so the standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt” will assure he walks. But Democrats (and I) see this as a job interview, not a trial.
This is about all we know of this job candidate versus how he has presented himself. There’s a pattern: “Keg Club” days, Yale heavy drinking and belligerence, THREE named accusers, yearbook references. #KavanaughHearings

200+ US newspapers are running coordinated editorials tomorrow after the @BostonGlobe declared "the dirty war on the free press must end." Here's my @VOANews TV report:
Here's the extended web (text) version (with quotes from @davidplazas, @franksesno, @DonIrvine, @Frank_Newport, @Rob_Weissman, @AllanLichtman + @Acosta vs. @PressSec) voanews.com/a/media-outlet… #media
No one is going to characterize the @KCStar editorial as pulling any punches: kansascity.com/opinion/editor…

1. I'm going to leave most of the @michelleisawolf controversy to others. Meanwhile, I want to make a few points about the reaction to the comedian's #WHCD roasting. Reactions were many. I want to focus on the one represented by Chris Cillizza:
2. "Bullying," "mean," "insulting"—yes, elite journalists really did use these and other words to describe Wolf's punch lines. If you did not watch the event, as most Americans did not, you can be forgiven for agreeing with Cillizza. Who's going to say, "Bullying. I'm for it"?
3. But let's remember who we are talking about:

A) high-ranking official of the United States government, who also happens to speak for the planet's most powerful human being.

B) comedian.
