David Boardman

In his episode on “How to Prevent and Treat Colds and Flu”, he describes why he doesn’t typically get the annual shot while stating “the flu shot is completely ineffective at combatting any other forms of the flu virus”—that’s false as even in cases of mismatch, the vax protects against hosp/death.

Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Outstanding work by @danabash.bsky.social.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

And yet more evidence that @dokoupil.bsky.social, @bariweiss.skystack.xyz and @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy care about more about their personal interests than the public's.

‘We’ll Sue’: White House’s Warning to CBS Is Sign of a New Media Status Quo

Yet another threat to the media's -- and by extension, the public's -- First Amendment rights by this administration.

As Trump Talked About Taking Greenland, Former Employees Gained a Foothold in the Arctic Island Two men who worked with the Trump Organization hold shares in GreenMet, which signed a deal with a company ready to mine critical minerals in Greenland.

This may explain his obsession with Greenland. www.occrp.org/en/scoop/as-...

Mother Jones sues the Bureau of Prisons for Ghislaine Maxwell records Why was Jeffrey Epstein's procurer transferred to a cushy prison?

NEW: The Bureau of Prisons won't explain why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a cushy facility after she met with Deputy AG Todd Blanche. So we filed a FOIA request for documents on this—and now we're suing (thanks to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press—@rcfp.org).

Hey, Bari Weiss, we still have room in our first-year journalism classes, where you can learn what true journalism really should be. What it should not be is this:

RCFP statement on FBI search of Washington Post reporter’s home “[T]his is a tremendous escalation in the administration’s intrusions into the independence of the press,” said RCFP President Bruce D. Brown.

This morning, the FBI executed a search warrant at a @washingtonpost.com reporter’s home.

@rcfp.org President Bruce D. Brown called it “a tremendous escalation in the administration’s intrusions into the independence of the press.”

FBI executes search warrant at Washington Post reporter’s home The reporter, Hannah Natanson, covers the federal workforce and has been part of The Post’s most sensitive coverage of the first year of the second Trump administration.

A clear and appalling sign that this administration will set no limits on its acts of aggression against an independent press. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I see Cillizza is auditioning for CBS News.

Let’s be clear: if people sworn to enforce the law can tell you to get out of your car and then kill you if you just try to drive away, none of us are safe. None of us.

Tony Dokoupil lavishes praise on Marco Rubio in lauding CBS segment “Whatever you think of his politics,” Dokoupil said, “you got to admit, it’s an impressive resume.”

For those (like I) who were waiting to judge @dokoupil.bsky.social's fitness to anchor the @cbseveningnews.bsky.social, you can stop waiting: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:

"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

This is absolutely on point

In the early hours of this test, @cnn.com is showing poorly. Its focus on the logistics of the military operation is sorely misplaced. In the decades to come, few will care about how the U.S. invaded Venezuela, but rather why it did, under what authorization it did, and what was to follow.

The next 48 hours will be a powerful litmus test of the health, vitality and courage of the American news media. Please, as the citizens those journalists and their outlets purport to serve, watch carefully.

I wonder what kind of heads up Exxon et al got

Hey, @CNN.com, just because the White House uses the made-up term “narcoterrorist” doesn’t mean you have to.

Pathetic.

Penn State cancer chief resigns 1 day after Spotlight PA investigation Penn State’s internal reviews found alarming lapses in Cancer Institute Director Raymond Hohl’s care of patients.

Investigative journalism matters, and @spotlightpa.org is one of the best.

"The reviews found a series of problems with Hohl’s care of at least 10 patients. ... Several of Hohl’s patients received extra doses of chemotherapy by accident."

So good. So true. So sad. And such a challenge: Can we ever reverse this course?

Please, please, please, @nytimes.com: More newsy, less Nuzzi.

Many thanks to amazing colleagues who graciously provided endorsements for #ContentConfusion: @profsanderlinden.bsky.social, @victorpickard.bsky.social, & @dboardman.bsky.social. Your support means a lot & has truly helped amplify the reach of this book. I’m grateful for your belief in the work!

This is the U.S. Department of Labor’s new social-media campaign. Notice anything?

And having supervised the production of front pages for a very good newspaper for many years, I can tell you that if there's anything editors hate more than having to tear up the preplanned front page, it's looking clueless--as the NYT does today.

This convenient analysis ignores the inconvenient fact that this protest was much anticipated as news because it was uncertain how large the participation would be and whether the events would in fact be peaceful. Given that, a good editor would simply have preserved a prominent place for it.

Millions march against the fascism the #BrokenTimes is blind to. It now refuses to count their numbers and it muffles their voices in small, BTW headlines. This is not journalism.

Did one of the largest protests in the history of the United States happen yesterday? You might not know it from today’s printed @nytimes.com, which had nothing above the fold, a small teaser below and a story buried on Page 23.
