A car is turned sideways and blocking the entire Manhattan bridge
So this has been a while now
Lots of people looking at the stuck car. Can they move it a little
No progress. There does not seem to be a workaround. We gotta start making lighter cars
Holy crap they did it! The pissed off New Yorkers came together and literally pushed the car out of the way and the nightmare is over

During a town hall meeting today, several managers at the Associated Press acknowledged that they made mistakes in how they handled the firing of Emily Wilder.

"We failed to initially see this as more than an HR issue,” an assistant managing editor said

washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…
But, they defended the decision to fire Wilder over her pro-Palestinian tweets, and one manager said that the mistakes made were “mistakes of process, and not of outcome.” washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…
“We want to acknowledge that we made missteps in handling this crisis,” deputy managing editor Amanda Barrett told employees. “Please know that the AP will protect you. We’ll have your back when you face threats online.” washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…

Emily Wilder spent only 16 days as a news associate before the AP terminated her for violating the company's social media policy. "It was really devastating," she said.

"They told me I showed clear bias," she said, but the AP wouldn't specify the tweets.

washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…
The AP reviewed Wilder's social media after the Stanford College Republicans and several right-leaning publications called her out.

Wilder: "To me, it feels like AP folded to the ridiculous demands and cheap bullying of organizations and individuals."

washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…
The Associated Press initially declined to discuss the termination but then confirmed that “she was dismissed for violations of AP’s social media policy during her time at AP.” washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…

I wrote about the journalists who say they have received harassment, up to death threats, after being mocked & criticized on Tucker Carlson's show.

In Brandy Zadrozny's case, the threats were so bad that she needed armed security for two weeks afterwards

washingtonpost.com/media/2021/04/…
After a Feb. segment, Los Angeles Times columnist Virginia Heffernan called local police after receiving a text message indicating knowledge of her address. She also filed a report with the FBI over the harassment, mentioning Carlson by name, she told me: washingtonpost.com/media/2021/04/…
Taylor Lorenz also faced harassment after 2 segments in March.

"It’s not just mean tweets," @skenigsberg said. "It’s death threats. It’s people trying to dox her, or figuring out where she lives, or contacting and harassing her family. It’s very scary”

Maria Bartiromo incorrectly says that the Post corrected the story about Trump's call with the Secretary of State (Brad Raffensberger). It was the call with the investigator.

Will Fox News/Maria Bartiromo correct her comment about the correction?

Maybe people have already moved on from this story, but Lou Dobbs is out there just retweeting supporters who say that viewers should "ditch Fox for OANN." And he is reportedly still on the Fox payroll...
The closest parallel to what happened to Lou Dobbs is Fox's abrupt decision to "part ways" with Trish Regan in March. In her case, they also did not say what she did wrong.

But, Regan never turned against and never really criticized Fox. Dobbs is clearly taking a different path.
I wrote about the anti-Fox message Lou Dobbs is sending on Twitter since his abrupt cancelation. And he's doing this even as he remains an employee. A Fox spokesperson confirmed on Monday that "he has not been terminated." washingtonpost.com/media/2021/02/…

Talking to Fox employees, there’s still a ton of uncertainty about why Lou Dobbs was canceled and what, if anything, will happen next. One said that Fox is a “land of confusion” right now.

There was speculation that Jeanine Pirro could be in trouble, but her show aired as normal
Dobbs is clearly unhappy about the cancellation, hence all the retweets supporting him, including some that criticized Fox by name. But with him still reportedly under contract, I wouldn’t expect to get his full take on what happened for a little while...
I think only the Murdochs and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott know why Dobbs was canceled but others mentioned in the Smartmatic lawsuit were not.

A good analysis from @brianstelter: cnn.com/2021/02/06/med…
