The Wall Street Journal is declining to comment on their rationale for publishing this letter-to-the-editor from Donald Trump, which claims that "the election was rigged." wsj.com/articles/presi…
Our story on Trump's letter-to-the-editor and the backlash the Wall Street Journal opinion section is getting for it: washingtonpost.com/media/2021/10/…
WSJ reporter to @brianstelter: “I think it’s very disappointing that our opinion section continues to publish misinformation that our news side works so hard to debunk. They should hold themselves to the same standards we do!"
NEW: The WSJ editorial board responds: "We trust our readers to make up their own minds about his statement. And we think it’s news when an ex-President who may run in 2024 wrote what he did, even if (or perhaps especially if) his claims are bananas." wsj.com/articles/the-f…

So far, Tucker Carlson's Jan 6 series airing next week has drawn protests from:
- 4 members of the Jan 6th committee (2 GOP, 2 Dems)
- Fox colleague Geraldo Rivera
- and now Jonathan Greenblatt of the @ADL has sent a letter to Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch

washingtonpost.com/media/2021/10/… Image
@ADL Here is the text of @JGreenblattADL's letter to Murdoch: adl.org/media/16992/do…

Murdoch responded to a letter Greenblatt sent about the Great Replacement Theory back in April: cnn.com/2021/04/12/med…
The difference between this and past backlashes against Tucker Carlson is that Fox Nation is a subscription service and therefore is insulated from attempts to pressure corporate advertisers. Fox has not commented on the special, but it's still set to air. washingtonpost.com/media/2021/10/…

Cumulus Media/Westwood One still has not commented on Bongino's fight over the company's vaccine mandate.
Dan Bongino shared the article about his time off on Parler. His fans are thanking him for standing up to Westwood One/Cumulus and writing colorful comments.

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…
Fox News C.E.O. Suzanne Scott: "If I wasted any time reading stories about myself or social media posts or what have you, I wouldn’t be able to get my job done. And you know what I always say? I sleep well at night." hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features…

"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:
