DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death Disney's ABC said "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "will be pre-empted indefinitely," a spokesperson confirmed to NBC News, after the late night host's Monday monologue about conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The president of the United States just took a TV show off the air. That’s what your β€œfree country” has come to.

"Mr. Kimmel's comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located," said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar's broadcasting division.
Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue."

BREAKING

Nexstar Media, which owns around two dozen ABC affiliates, says it will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely tonight due to his commentary on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Important to note that the FCC has to sign-off on Nexstar’s aquistion of TEGNA media group.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

Responsible reporting/analysis from @davidcorn.bsky.social. Kirk wasn't apologetic about his views, so why are mainstream news outlets sanitizing them?

Portland man hit intentionally by driver on Pedalpalooza ride shares his story β€œYou caused this because you were in the car lane," the officer said to me.

A good illustration of how inadequate our system is when it comes to responding to vehicular violence. This is also a validation of fears many Portlanders have, and it's another reason some folks choose to not ride bikes at all.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a β€œcity of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Text-heavy infographic organized into sections on News media bias.

Top text: People across the political spectrum often feel that β€œthe media” is biased against their beliefs and values. But what counts as bias in news? And why do so few people feel that news coverage is slanted in their favor?

Here are 6 tips to help you think clearly about this nuanced and important topic:

1 Differentiate news from opinion

2 Think about bias as a spectrum

3 Ask yourself: Compared with what?

4 Recognize your own biases

5 Be wary of media bias charts and ratings

6 Think about bias in terms of types and forms

Different types of bias … can take different forms in coverage

TYPES
β€œBig story” bias
Corporate bias
Demographic bias
Neutrality bias
Partisan bias

FORMS
Absence of fairness and balance
Framing
Sourcing
Story selection
Tone 

Think you’ve spotted an example of biased news?
Double-check your initial perceptions by asking: What would β€œunbiased” news about this subject look like? 

Public feedback makes journalism better
