"If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'"

-- President Lyndon B. Johnson, on the cynical media coverage that he believed he and his Administration often received, particularly when compared to the coverage of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy.

The Greek boat disaster. 700-800 people on board. Many of them women and children. Hundreds missing. Potentially victims of human trafficking.

But hey! Let's have the media focus on 5 billionaires who paid upwards of $200k to get bolted into a death trap just so they could go sightseeing.

I'm not being insensitive to the plight of those 5. I'm saying that the media is being insensitive to the Greek boat victims. Apparently billionaire lives are more newsworthy.

Y’all is it just me or has there been a disturbing amount of media coverage on celebrities that have allegedly assaulted people in the past month??

Mia Goth accused of kicking an extra in the head repeatedly and taunting them (a month ago)

Killer Mike arrested for an altercation right after winning some Grammy awards (4 weeks ago)

Jacob Elordi reportedly assaulted a radio show host in Australia (4 weeks ago)

Austin North arrested for assaulting hospital staff (2 weeks ago)

Ezra Miller again (1 week ago)

P Diddy hit with sexual assault lawsuit (4 days ago)

Taylor Swift’s father involved in an alleged assault with Australian paparazzi (4 days ago)

Toney Lanez arrested for concealed weapon (4 days ago - not technically assault)

Hailey Bieber’s sister reportedly assaulting someone at a bar and throwing a used tampon on them (1 day ago)

I now this sounds like some crazy conspiracy but I feel like usually celebrities arrests are swept under the rug and not really talked about that often. And now they’re just kinda being shoved in our faces?? I feel like they’re just trying to use this stuff as a distraction against what’s going on with Palestine. Not that celebrities shouldn’t be held accountable but the timing of it all is suspicious. There have been celebrities who have gained a lot of media attention for assaulting people (like Ezra Miller) in the past but I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many instances of it happening back to back, especially with mostly A list or popular celebrities?? Like the timeline of it all is actually insane because the first 3 happen within relatively close time to each other, then the next one doesn’t happen for another 2 weeks, then the next one doesn’t happen for another week after that, but then the rest happen on the same day, or within a week of each other?? Idk tho I’m also extremely sleep deprived so I might just be reaching.

"While the exact reasons behind Meghan’s decision not to attend the occasion are still unclear, her supporters are speculating that she is simply putting her own mental health first – and they’re so here for it.”

Adam Zyglis :: @adamzyglis :: Four years of darkness…

* * *

President Biden visited Maryland on Friday afternoon and spoke about the tragedy, recovery, and future promise of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor. He began by acknowledging that six of those killed in the tragedy were immigrants working to repair the road surface on the bridge:

The damage is devastating, and our hearts are still breaking. Eight construction workers went into the water when the bridge fell. Six lost their lives. Most were immigrants, but all were Marylanders — hard-working, strong, and selfless.

See White House.gov, Remarks by President Biden on Rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge and Reopening the Port of Baltimore.

President Biden also spoke about the historical significance of the bridge and its promise for the future:

Let me close with this. This port is over 300 years old. . . . This port is older than our Republic. And it’s been through tough, tough times before. During the war of 1812, a young Marylander named Francis Scott Key, for whom the bridge is named after, sat in a boat in this very harbor, and he watched — he watched the British troops launch attack after attack on American forces. But as the dawn broke, we saw the American flag still flying, Baltimore was still standing, and our nation, as he wrote in the “Star-Spangled Banner,” had made it through a perilous fight. Folks, this is going to take time, but Governor Moore [and] others are going to rebuild this bridge as rapidly as possible. And, folks, we’re determined to come back even stronger.

As President Biden was delivering sober, hopeful remarks after a tragedy, Trump was making wild allegations on a conservative talk radio show—claiming that President Biden was high on cocaine during the State of the Union address.

No major media outlet covered Trump's unhinged comments, but the “news” segment of Saturday Night Live did cover Trump's accusations—noting that Trump frequently accuses others of engaging in the conduct that he engages in himself. See YouTube, Weekend Update: Trump Claims Biden Is on Cocaine, Earthquake Rattles Northeast - SNL. (Reference to Trump accusation begins at 1:00 minute mark.)

This is no laughing matter. As Dan Pfeiffer notes,

I’m guessing that . . . most of you are learning this information for the first time. And it's not because you aren’t avid consumers of news. It’s because the traditional political media decided to ignore this outlandish accusation from a clearly deranged and dishonest man.

See Dan Pfeiffer on Substack, Why is the Press Making Trump Seem More Normal? (messageboxnews.com). Pfeifer continued his critique, noting that the major media outlets find a few coherent passages scattered in Trump's most recent unhinged campaign speech and use those snippets to make Trump seem normal:

He does a rally or interview filled with insane, incoherent ramblings and then the [news media] clips the most coherent 30-45 seconds to air as part of the package.

The good news is that Trump can’t hide forever at Mar-a-Lago. Several reasons are forcing Trump to come out of hiding and address issues of substance or legal jeopardy. Those reasons include:

" ..But many of the signatories—specifically those from the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Associated Press, and the New York Times—have a lot of gall signing such a letter, given their personal and institutional silence as so many journalists have been killed over five months, their role in manufacturing the consent which facilitated the genocide in the first place, and/or the way they have punished their own employees for signing similar letters.

...

Then, there’s probably the most galling signatures of all, A.G. Sulzberger’s, the publisher of the New York Times.

From trans rights to speaking against war, the Times is among the most vicious in forbidding its journalists—even its magazine staff who write in the first person about their lived experiences—to express opinions. Sulzberger, the sixth member of his family to run the paper, has enormous sway over arguably the most influential English-language publication in the world. In his position of editorial power, he gets to publicly declare that “Attacks on journalists are also attacks on truth” and to declare a commitment “to championing the safety of journalists in Gaza, which is fundamental for the protection of press freedom everywhere.” Good!

....As the writer Hussein Omar, who is part of the group Writers Against the War on Gaza and who has published in the New York Times himself, put it, “A.G. Sulzberger signs a letter in support of reporters in Gaza with one hand, while he green lights genocidal propaganda in his rag with the other.”

On March 6, Max Blumenthal published a fascinating account of how Israeli lobbyists are urging “US officials to justify war on Gaza with ‘Hamas rape’ claims,” complete with leaked slides from a presentation. Rationalizing Israel’s increasingly unpopular genocide is reliant upon a campaign to whip up fear of allegedly rapacious Arab men—and nothing has been more central to that claim than the Times December 28 story “‘Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7.”

The problem is that “Screams Without Words” has collapsed, thoroughly and repeatedly debunked by Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss, Zei Squirrel, the Intercept and us. But now, as Times employees are blowing the whistle that they do not stand behind the story of systematic mass rape—especially at their flagship podcast, The Daily—the internal fights over this incredibly high stakes story are spilling into more mainstream publications like Vanity Fair and NPR.

And what is the management of the Times—a publication which, like most breaking news publications, relies upon truth-seeking whistleblowers for many of its most important storie—doing? As people inside and outside the Grey Lady register an understandable alarm about its poor sourcing and relying upon a journalism neophyte and Israeli military veteran to write “Screams Without Words”?

Times management is not bringing back the role of the public editor, nor are they engaging in any transparent, good faith accounting of self-reflection.

Rather, they are trying to hunt out who among their staff is leaking, so that they can punish them.

And they appear to be using racial profiling to do so.

Was reluctant to click on this link, as publication is mostly populated by AI generated pr trash imho.

However, article is accurate and neutral wrt to information previously reported, including Armie’s statements about being in lockdown.

Less sensational, and more balanced. Another good start.

AYAT KHADDURA: [translated] "This may be the last video for me."

"Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, Ayat Khaddura, a 27-year-old digital content and podcast presenter, has been reportedly killed along with her family in an Israeli airstrike. This is Ayat, one of her last video reports."

A Grim Milestone: Journalist Death Toll Tops 53 as Israel Kills More Reporters in Gaza and Lebanon NOV. 21, 2023

"The Committee to Protect Journalists reports that at least 50 journalists and media workers have been killed in Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza. Forty-five of the slain journalists have been Palestinian. Others have been arrested or injured. There have been three Israeli journalists killed, and there have been at least three Lebanese journalists killed. CPJ reports 11 journalists have been injured, three are reported missing, and 18 have been arrested. According to CPJ, the past month and a half has been the deadliest period of journalists covering the conflict since the media group began tracking these deaths over 30 years ago."

"The U.N. secretary-general says that the number of civilian deaths is “unparalleled and unprecedented.” Of course, journalists are civilians.As I woke up this morning, I got one text after another, first the young woman and her cameraman in southern Lebanon killed about an hour after she posted a video report. She’s standing in a field in southern Lebanon, and she’s talking about the Israeli military killing civilians. She and her cameraman are then hit and killed. And then, as I’m learning their names, another text comes in. This young reporter in northern Gaza is killed, even as she says in her report, “I fear I will die.” Can you talk about this latest news and then_ _"

"In Israel, an emergency legislation has now given the government for the first time the unprecedented power of shutting down international media organization, including acting on Al Mayadeen — which two journalists were killed today in Lebanon — banning them in Israel, and allowing the government also to jail even Israeli journalists for up to a year under suspicious and these accusations of harming national morale and harming national security."
