"The Herrings were keen to leverage their existing production facilities in San Diego to launch a second network, either a boxing channel or news outlet."

this is the best sentence in the One America story
For-profit media companies obviously exist to make money, but hearing Robert Herring say that he founded One America explicitly to do so is an important reminder and really puts things into the proper perspective.

So he started it to make money (fair) and this is where it’s at now:

Fox News C.E.O. Suzanne Scott says she is vaccinated. Just like the company's founder Rupert Murdoch. And the opinion hosts of "Fox and Friends" and "The Five." And news anchors like Bret Baier and Bill Hemmer... hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features…
Fox News C.E.O. Suzanne Scott referred to the network's primetime block, which includes its most high-profile and influential shows (Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham) as "one little piece of real estate." hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features… Image

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”
