Reporting in a Polarized Age - Signal Fire - Ep.4 Veteran journalist John Harwood explores how modern media reached its current breaking point. He reflects on the shift from legacy newsrooms to independent platforms and the pressures created by political influence, corporate ownership, and the race for audience attention. Together we look at why trust in journalism has declined and what it would take to rebuild it. Harwood also shares personal experiences from inside major news organizations and what gives him hope for the future of credible reporting.

Buckle up!
@johnjharwood.bsky.social doesn't hold back as we discuss the dangers and impact of corporate media, joining the ranks of independent media at @zeteo.com after leaving CNN, and how we pick up the pieces of our broken system. #totalpro bit.ly/3Msx0BY

Translation: Donald Trump will decide what and how much the commoners need and they will learn to accept it. He and his wealthiest enablers and sycophants will take as much as they want and be questioned by no one.

We love the convenience of algorithmic news… until it starts feeding us outrage. So what would real algorithmic transparency look like? Tune in to hear @newsnotnoise.bsky.social, @lcsenecal.bsky.social and Jon Zieger break it down and discuss why it matters more than ever.

Hegseth Defense Collapses as Dems Reveal Horrific Video Strike Details The ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services committee tells TNR after watching the video: β€œThis is a big, big problem.”

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

Killed them because they might "stay in the fight"⬇️

Even if you buy all the legal falsehoods (that this is an 'armed conflict,' that drugs are war-sustaining objects), the 2 shipwrecked were in no way, shape or form engaged in "active combat activities" (the actual legal test).

The War for Truth Online - Signal Fire - Ep. 03 This episode of Signal Fire explores how social media has reshaped the way people discover, trust, and share news. Jon and Lisa sit down with journalist and News Not Noise founder Jessica Yellin to discuss the rise of evidence based creators and the challenges they face in an online environment built for speed and outrage. Together they unpack the role of algorithms, the erosion of trust, and the growing difficulty for audiences to separate fact from manipulation. Jessica also shares her thoughts on transparency, how creators can build credibility, and what a healthier information ecosystem might look like in the years ahead.

Social media has reshaped the way people discover, trust, and share news. In our latest episode, @newsnotnoisejessicayellin.skystack.xyz joins us to talk evidence-based creators and their challenges on platforms built for speed and outrage that devalue facts. @lcsenecal.bsky.social

Note two things about GOP Rep. Mike Turner's solid remarks on Hegseth's reported order:

1) Turner: "I agree that that would be an illegal act."

2) Implicitly confirms the Washington Post's reporting that this information has been kept from Congress

I would guess that the Trump admin would be on Team Price Fixing, so RealPage probably got a pretty good deal.

The settlement did not include admissions of wrongdoing, RealPage said, and does not involve financial penalties.

Though some who admire and seek to emulate Trump see his treatment of women as evidence of his masculine strength, it seems painfully obvious that it is likely the opposite.
