NYU #LangoneHealth gave the nurse, #HesenJabr, an award for her work. She said hospital officials then fired her because she made pro- #Palestinian remarks in an acceptance speech.
Good Lord. The Washington Post blew this, choosing not to report on the Alitos' (plural) flag at the time, dredging it up now, masking the failure amid background paragraphs. Democracy dies in terrible, irresponsible, credulous, complicit news judgment. Shame.
@jeffjarvis if future historians are allowed to chronicle this era, the #WashingtonPost and #NewYorkTimes will have spots in the Hall of Shame next to people from past eras like Vidkun Quisling.
You can tell that we're the good guys because China does it to "forestall any potential unrest," whereas the USA "keeps us safe." with this "rare bipartisan act."
The Chinese government is "always on the lookout for real or perceived threats," but, fortunately for us freedom-lovers in the US, although "the F.B.I. has broken the rules [...] there are ways to prevent abuses [...] without compromising its critical national security value."
"As noted by commentator Lindy Li on Twitter, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman has written 265 stories about 'Hillary’s emails' and 141 articles about Joe Biden’s age. Certainly, Trump's Nazi leanings deserve as least as much coverage as the non-story about Hillary’s emails. To date, the Times has published one story on Trump's use of Hitler’s language."
I joined the Biden Administration because I believe in fighting for a better America, for a future where Americans can thrive: one with economic prosperity, a healthy planet, and equal rights for all people. I have dedicated my career to candidates who I believed would further this vision.
The #WashingtonPost had her resignation on the front page, plenty of coverage in the international press, but the #NewYorkTimes does not appear to have covered it at all.
Ich werde heute Abend wieder dort sein und neben dem spannenden Vortrag vom Timo Grossenbacher auch nette Menschen treffen. Wer nicht vor Ort sein kann, kann den Vortrag auch über einen freien Video-Stream auf @c3voc über das Internet verfolgen.
»Medientalk: Wie verändert KI den Journalismus?
Wie soll der Journalismus mit den Herausforderungen durch künstliche Intelligenz umgehen? Die New York Times beispielsweise hat Open AI und Microsoft verklagt. Man will Schadenersatz dafür, dass man die KI mit Material der NYT trainiert habe. Und was machen die Schweizer Verlage?«
The #NewYorkTimes saying the quiet part out loud. What they and many other self-proclaimed advocates of ‘free speech’ want is not to be shunned or criticised for their views. But freedom from the (predictable) consequences of your actions is not a right. It’s a privilege.
Jay Kuo's assessment of New York Times' latest poll:
"Let me say this plainly: The Times poll is intentionally Trump- and conservative-leaning, both in how it was structured and how it was promoted. There may be fine reasons for this, but they are not discussed anywhere. And its data contains some eyebrow raising anomalies that it either glosses over or ignores completely."

A Chaotic Night at #UCLA Raises Questions About Police Response
"Counterprotesters attacked a pro-Palestinian encampment for several hours without police intervention, and none were arrested. Now, the police response is under investigation."
Students active in campus protests value Al Jazeera’s on-the-ground coverage and its perspective on the #Israel - #Hamas war. They draw distinctions between it and major American outlets.
