"It seems too often journalists see a sea of whiteness in Iowa and New Hampshire and assume that that's what America looks like. Fact: America is 24 percent non-white today. "
reminder: 90% of NYT journalists covering 2016 campaign were white

1. Hi! My weekly promotional note that I've launched a new media newsletter, Press Run. It's where all my writing/essays now appear exclusively. the newsletter is emailed out 3x a week. Subscribing is free and easy, here: pressrun.substack.com
2. I'm happy to say the response over first two weeks has been way beyond anything I expected in terms of subscribers, and this community is just getting off the ground. It will be where we'll find fault, sing some praise, and search for solutions.
3. There seems to be a hunger for an honest, liberal discussion about the political press, especially during this campaign year. so if you've followed/enjoyed my media work over the years at @salon, @mmmfa, or @dailykos, or on TV/radio, pls come take a look at Press Run. Cheers.

my latest— Trump makes endless empty gestures.

the press shouldn't treat them as news. pressrun.substack.com/p/good-grief-w…
Trump dropped a couple lines in speeches abt supporting idea of planting trillion new trees in 10 yrs

administration has signaled it will do *nothing* to help that cause, yet NYT ran front-page piece painting picture of a Trump being open to persuasion.

why???
instead of news stories abt how Trump is a narcissistic liar, we get stories about how he's reading books about climate change (i can't make that up, folks)

1. a thread on the dangers of media normalizing Trump by taking seriously his gibberish policy pronouncements

recent A1 NYT article touted fact Trump has been promoting an environmental push to plant more trees! Wow, he's open minded, right? pressrun.substack.com/p/good-grief-w…
2. Except the Trump administration has done absolutely nothing to support the climate change project and most likely never will. But NYT treats the *possibility* as front-page news.

Very bad idea bc Trump lies abt everything, including policy.
3. By showcasing his rhetorical embrace of environmental initiative, the Times gives completely false impression that that he can be persuaded by logic and common sense. And NYT article plays into the idea that Trump has any idea what his policies actually are, or even cares.

I knew it! After the Iowa debacle, Democrats want to change the order of states.

Before the Iowa caucuses, Democrat media outlets were griping about Iowa being first and insinuating Iowa was “too white and rural.”
November - Julian Castro said Iowa and New Hampshire didn’t reflect the Democrat party.

January 29, The Atlantic - “Iowa has white privilege and should t be first.”

9. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn President Trump’s D.C. hotel had so many customers at a networking event for lobbyists last night, that when the hotel's boss went to boast about his “#success” on Twitter, panorama mode was required to show all the patrons.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn Russian-funded RT America personalities celebrated “great things” at the Trump Hotel DC. It’s unclear if they were referring to the ease w/which staffers for foreign gov't-funded media can get cash to the U.S. president or something else.
