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.

Happening now in war ravaged Portland: the city's Parks and Recreation Department (the most subversive of all government entities, is giving away trees.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

It's a gorgeous fall day in #warravagedPortland. Come visit.

Trump deploys troops to Portland, authorizing ‘full force’ if necessary The action escalates a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent.

If there was any doubt that the deployment of troops is to foment violence, not prevent it, this ploy from Trump should dispel that. Portland’s crime has been plummeting. But it’s also a city that won’t stand by quietly, and protests will likely turn violent. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump Sues The New York Times for Articles Questioning His Success

I am confident that the @nytimes.com and its courageous publisher, unlike @cbs.com, will not back down in response to this frivolous lawsuit by President Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/b...

The @wsj.com owes the nation an apology for its irresponsible reporting after the Charlie Kirk shooting. In the effort for a scoop, the Journal’s indication that the shooter was tied to transgender causes --since discredited—fueled hateful vitriol and further eroded trust in media.

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation

if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played

This Guy always fashions great commentary.

Why journalists should care about military involvement in domestic law enforcement RCFP has received many questions regarding the implications for journalists of using the military for civilian law enforcement.

In light of President Trump deploying the National Guard in D.C., revisit a recent @rcfp.org analysis on why journalists should care about the military acting as domestic law enforcement and how it could impact newsgathering.

there have been zero mass shootings in Washington, D.C. in the past 12 years. In Tampa, where Benny lives, there has been at least one mass shooting every year since 2022.

Today’s @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social sounding like @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy as Scarborough and Barnicle fawn over Trump’s militarization of D.C.

Of the many big @washingtonpost.com departures, the exit of

WSJ editorial: "The better alternative for Paramount and its reputation? Win the legal case, vindicate its CBS journalists and the First Amendment, and trust that the FCC has enough integrity to operate as something more than the President’s personal protection racket."
