  • 10 years of Trump, 10 years of media attacks

    1 week ago | poynter.org | Tom Jones

    It was 10 years ago Monday that Donald Trump rode down his golden escalator and announced that he was running for president. And so here we are, in 2025. In those 10 years, Trump has run for president three times with a pair of wins in 2016 and 2024, sandwiching a loss in 2020. There is no doubt that he has changed politics, the country and the world in those 10 years — with half the country saying for the better, and half saying for the worse.

    Over the weekend, there was major news about missing American freelance journalist Austin Tice, who hasn’t been seen in more than a decade while trying to leave Syria. But his whereabouts remain unknown and there are doubts about the stunning news that was reported. A former senior Syrian official under former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has told U.S. officials that Tice was killed in 2013 on the orders of Assad. However, the story has not been corroborated by the United States.

    Good morning. Wow, what a week in media. Journalists being targeted at the protests in Los Angeles. The ouster of longtime correspondent Terry Moran at ABC News, in part, because of the now-deleted tweet about President Donald Trump and his advisor Stephen Miller. And on Thursday, even more big media news as the House voted to back Trump’s request to cut funding for NPR and PBS. That’s where we’ll start today.

  • Despite what your feed shows, Los Angeles isn’t a war zone

    2 weeks ago | poynter.org | Tom Jones

    Let’s start by acknowledging that this Los Angeles immigration protest story is ongoing and has the potential to change at any moment. A somewhat peaceful demonstration can suddenly become violent with one false move, one bad decision or one reckless act. With a heavy police presence, bolstered by President Donald Trump ordering in the National Guard and Marines against the wishes of local and state authorities, tensions are at a higher level.

  • Terry Moran is out at ABC News. His tweet did what critics of the media wanted.

    In a decision that will be celebrated by conservatives and condemned by others, ABC News has decided to part ways with senior national correspondent Terry Moran.

Ovi! Gr8! Alex! There are many ways to say it. You can also call Alex Ovechkin this: The Greatest Goal Scorer in NHL History. So cool to watch him break the record. #NHL

These games are fun when you don't have a rooting interesting in them. If you do, they're downright miserable. #AFCChampionshipGame
