Trump adopted the Russian double standard: he was permitted to lie all the time, but any minor error by a journalist discredited the entire profession of journalism. … He referred to them as an “enemy of the American people” and claimed that what they produced was “fake news.” Trump was proud of both of these formulations, although both were Russian.

"AI models incorrectly answered more than 60 percent of queries about news sources."

"Perplexity provided incorrect information in 37 percent of the queries tested, whereas ChatGPT Search incorrectly identified 67 percent (134 out of 200) of articles queried. Grok 3 demonstrated the highest error rate, at 94 percent."

This is fine meme: relaxed dog in headphones, eyes closed as the room burns around him. Thought bubble: We have analytics, no one has complained, it's beta.

I'm saving a ton of money over the last year. Here's my secret:

-Cancelled NYT subscription
-Cancelled WaPo subscription
-Cancelled Amazon Prime
-Cancelled Spotify

Turns out I'm saving money and also giving my more directly to smaller businesses, true journalists, and artists.

Really not that hard, people.

Likened to a Nazi.

"... the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute."

Translation from Forbes-speak: WE would NEVER say it was a Nazi salute but somebody said it looked like it might have reminded them of a Nazi salute in some off-handed kind of way.

🙄 Cowards.

Meanwhile we get a more in-depth Elonsplanation of Hitler's innocence in causing the Holocaust.

Finally, our team had a wonderful time at #SXSW on Sunday and Monday, where Flipboard and @surf hosted the first #FediverseHouse. Our CEO @mike and the whole team are 100% #TeamFediverse, and were thrilled to meet and talk to so many other open social web advocates. Here’s a feature by @Markoff for @newyorktimes, where Mike, @Gargron and @reckless1280 discuss the rise of decentralized social media, and how it can help publishers and media companies survive and thrive.

MobilizeSCREENING: "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" + Director Rick Goldsmith · The Media and Democracy ProjectWorried about the media diets of your fellow Americans, the loss of local journalism jobs - and the impact of this on our democracy? Join our Zoom screening of "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" followed by discussion with Director Rick Goldsmith. Stripped for Parts is the story of a secretive hedge fund that is plundering what is left of America’s newspapers, and the journalists who are fighting back. Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why– until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy? Trailer: https://vimeo.com/923029964 This film is NOT available on streaming platforms. This is a unique opportunity to watch via Zoom with Director Q&A - and be empowered with *ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE* to fight for local journalism!

"the Musk Watch #DOGE Tracker... authoritatively demonstrated that #ElonMusk had been grossly overstating the cuts implemented by DOGE...

#Musk offered no actual critique of the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker's methodology...

Musk Watch is a four-person team, but we can rock the boat of the wealthiest and most powerful man in the world."

Headline and text from article: UPDATE: Musk attacks Musk Watch Judd Legum Mar 13, 2025 Yesterday, we launched the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker. This new tool authoritatively demonstrated that Elon Musk had been grossly overstating the cuts implemented by DOGE. While Musk claimed that DOGE had made $105 billion in cuts, the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker revealed that just $8.6 billion of those cuts were verifiable. Within hours, Musk personally attacked the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker on X:

Journalists reporting on data leaks or breaches in Turkey will be at greater risk of prosecution and prison. The Committee to Protect Journalists reports:

"Turkey’s new cybersecurity law could criminalize legitimate reporting on cybersecurity incidents because of its overly broad and vague language, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Thursday.

The law, passed on Wednesday, criminalizes reporting about an online data leak or sharing that report unless the authorities have confirmed the incident.

It imposes a prison sentence of two to five years for anyone who knowingly creates or spreads “false” content claiming that there is a cybersecurity data leak “in order to create anxiety, fear, and panic among the public, or to target institutions or individuals."
