“It is an article of faith for me and for the three media institutions I have served – the BBC, Channel Four Television and The New York Times – that in the end the truth always wins.” - Mark Thompson, CEO NYT edelman.com/20yearsoftrust…
“Media is unique among the four institutions that Edelman studies in that it is designed and expected to monitor the other three. When it is operating as it should, it inevitably makes enemies. We need to make friends and find more supporters too.”
The greatest danger in Trump’s rhetoric against the free press remains the signals it sends around the globe to empower and enable those who get their power by suppressing truth, accountability and their public.

It’s worth adding that Google literally built RT as a major “news” channel by anointing it with a coveted position in YouTube Preferred - ultimately making it the #2 news channel. It remained there for 7 months after US Intelligence report connected it to Kremlin in early 2017.
As I was broadcasting concerns about this in 2017, WSJ and Bloomberg reported on it. Meanwhile, Google pushed back on press coverage and quietly removed RT from YouTube Preferred bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Soon I watched Google exec give what I believe was false testimony to @SenFeinstein by saying “the algorithms did it” in explaining RT’s removal from YouTube Preferred - miraculously at the same time press was reporting on it. I guess Google’s algorithms read press reports.

as someone who actually represents publisher interests, I don't get this take beyond the challenge in passing it (they're making good progress) and possible distraction from antitrust investigations (can multitask). It's a lot of hyperbole/principle getting in way of progress. /1
This aside, just saw @lutherlowe tweet about Public Knowledge funding from Alphabet/Google. If true, this should be disclosed in an op-ed like this. I've spent my time with them explaining how Google's ad stack works assuming they had no bias. Darkness would seem to defy name. /2
So would appreciate some clarity on any previous funding from Google if taking a position on this issue. It's the least that can be asked. Once that happens, I do welcome perspective from any and all parties particularly the experience of the two authors. Escalation coming. /3

😂 this sort of overlooks the much significant w3c Tracking Protection working group which spent years deliberating, published guidelines in 2019 including for definition of “tracking.” Apple and publishers stayed until end while adtech tracking complex dropped out in protest.
If you study authors of CCPA, GDPR, and the moves of the browsers implementing actual tracking prevention (Edge, Safari, Brave, Firefox), they’ve all been influenced by the w3c work (good and bad) including how adtech lobby will abuse and create workarounds and who to trust.
I would argue the most material output was the definition of tracking which clearly includes Facebook and Google’s tracking. Safari, Brave, Firefox and Edge all treat Google as a tracker as it happens in a 3rd party context. CCPA does, too. Miraculously 😂 Chrome doesn’t.

This article 😂😂😂

nytimes.com/2019/11/18/us/…
Seriously the article recognizes that people on all sides hate and distrust the media and what do they do? Instead of looking inward and taking responsibility for their own part they ......... blame President Trump and compare him to a Russian "political leader" 😂😂😂

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (15 – 21 September)

1. Time for another edition of the news from last week that the legacy media buried or obfuscated because the stories don’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. For starters, let’s look at some more good economic news that will NEVER see the light of day on the likes of CNN or MSNBC:

<quote>
2A. [T]he Census Bureau released its report on the nation’s income, poverty, and health-insurance coverage for 2018.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (25 – 31 August)

1. Time for another dose of the real news that the legacy media continually sweep under the rug because it doesn’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. Speaking of the legacy media, let’s start off with a look at all the former Obama regime CIA and FBI officials now working at CNN and MSNBC:

<quote>
2A. CNN added to its deep roster of former FBI and CIA officials-turned-analysts Friday with the hiring of Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired for lack of candor during an investigation last year.

@JosephineFormby @afneil So Neil is not biased and @OwenJones84 who does not present a #BBC flagship programme is?
1. He was a member of The Glasgow University Conservative Club
2, He was a member of the Federation of Conservative Students.
3. He briefly worked for the Conservative Party
@JosephineFormby @afneil @OwenJones84 4. He is the current chairman of Press Holdings Media Group, whose titles include The Spectator, and the ITP Media. The Spectator is known for its leanings to the Right!
@JosephineFormby @afneil @OwenJones84 In 2018 the The Spectator published an article online headlined ‘In praise of the Wehrmacht.’ Despite the copy being quickly changed, the original was screen-grabbed and shared on Twitter. I assume you know about the Wehrmacht?

(THREAD) It's time to tell the biggest untold story of the 2016 election: how a cadre of pro-Trump FBI agents and intel officers—some active, some retired—conspired to swing the election to Trump. The story involves Flynn, Prince, Giuliani, and others. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ True Pundit is a pro-Trump fake news site that began publishing on June 9, 2016—the day that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with Kremlin agents in Trump Tower to discuss the Kremlin's provision to the Trump campaign of incriminating material on Clinton.
2/ True Pundit would quickly reveal itself as having the same agenda Trump Jr. had when he met with Kremlin agents on the day True Pundit launched: its mission would be to destroy Clinton's candidacy by uncovering incriminating material about her—particularly via her emails.
