- Reposted by CGEM: Critics Groups for Equality in MediaWe are OUTRAGED and deeply alarmed by the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort by federal agents, and by the government’s escalating effort to criminalize and threaten press freedom under the guise of law enforcement. The First Amendment is not optional and journalism is not a crime.
- Don Lemon confidently predicted his indictment by Don Orange just last week in this Scripps News talk with his former CNN cohost Alisyn Camerota (follow / watch @scrippsnews.bsky.social for serious, fact-filled journalism).

- If only the cable newsers would ease up on the pundit battles and invest in more field reporters to try to ask the powerful (execs, D.C. swampers, the oddly pardoned) tough questions..."in the interest of getting something important." www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDyt...
- Rousing: Tonight, MSNBC's @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com again shamed those White House correspondents—and CNN's Jake Tapper—for being all but Trump's stunned prey. He does praise @kaitlancollins.bsky.social for her truth to power, though. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

- Normally reliable info sources oddly keep making the same two grave mistakes over and over. For the record: 1. Charlie Kirk was shot after he answered a question about mass shootings in general. 2. Jimmy Kimmel did not joke that MAGA killed Kirk. These aren't just nuances.

- Did you know former Fox sitcom star Christopher Titus and friends have a podcast on "the news of the day, politics, the woes of our society, every-day idiots, and an occasional hero"? It's sharp in several ways: open.spotify.com/show/33VEC1v...
- Something big and even small media has strangely missed: When the EU's chief pleaded that Russia return the thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children, Trump responded by raving about his trade deals. Rubio's reaction at top left says it all. www.youtube.com/live/CpsG75j...

- Do this story's headline and first graphs strike as confusing or even misleading? The CBS online piece, pertaining to Epstein's jail-time video, is written & edited more clearly as it goes along, ending with some alarming revelations. But who will read to the end? www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
- R.I.P. unsung icon Marlene Warfield. She costarred w/ James Earl Jones in the stage & film versions of 'The Great White Hope' & played Maude's final maid on TV. But she's truly indelible as sudden TV star Laureen Hobbs in 'Network'. Watch her gnash the scenery here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuqv...
