Addendum: Lest you dismiss what I'm trying to tell you as just random thoughts from a random old man - THIS IS WHAT I USED TO DO FOR A LIVING. I did NOT wait for #journalists to call me. If I knew there was a story brewing I needed to get in on, or if I wanted to CREATE a story, I picked up the phone and made the calls and said, "hey, I've got a few things to say," and know what? Next edition, what I had to say was there (some, of it anyway!). It's not a secret. Reporters NEED sources. Be one.
> “The judicial pressure systematically brought to bear on local #journalists for a long time is now being brought to bear on their foreign colleagues,” he told AFP.
> Turkish authorities held #BBC journalist Mark Lowen for 17 hours on Wednesday before deporting him for posing “a threat to public order”, the broadcaster said.
Turkish officials said it was due to “a lack of accreditation.”
This should be easy to understand, but apparently it's not, so - Real #journalists are going to piss you off sometimes (not every time, tho). If your go-to #journalist just does a better job of saying what you already believe? They're not what you think they are.
Real journalists quote real people they've really interviewed. They cite sources, provide links, don't make the story a validation of their own beliefs. I'm not a journalist. My father was a journalist. But he'd be as pissed as I am.
I heard that #Project2025 had recommended #Signal as a comm channel that could be used to avoid Federal regs re record keeping
I want to know how many #SignalApp threads these #Fascist goons *haven't* invited #Journalists to join

More arrests as #Turkey escalates crackdown over protests

Turkey intensified its crackdown on anti-government protests on Friday, arresting the lawyer of the jailed Istanbul mayor and targeting more #journalists, as the country faces its biggest wave of unrest in more than a decade.
It's about keeping ugly things secret."

This is batshit crazy.
#MarjorieTaylorGreene yells at #SkyNews UK reporter tells her to go back to her country & refuses to take questions from #journalists who aren’t “American”
https://fair.org/home/israel-kills-palestinian-journalist-hossam-shabat-as-us-media-look-away/ Two more #journalists killed this week. #isreal “has now killed at least 170 Palestinian journalists and media workers since October 7, 2023,” according to the Committee to Protect Journalists #CPJ Where is the outcry (or even just reporting on this) by American journalists & media? @AP @IFJGlobal @NYTGuildTech @Maddow @Poynter
I will remember Hossam, his honour and his bravery, for the rest of my days.
Turkey jails journalists, as protesters defy crackdown
An AFP journalist was one of 7 detained journalists charged with participating in "illegal rallies and marches." Over 1,000 people have been arrested during the crackdown on anti-government protests.
BTW: one of the Signal principals told the committee today that his staff had set up a system to record Signal chats to comply with the records keeping requirement. Now - whether they ever intended to hand it over to the National Archives is a good question, but if he's being truthful, there is more than one copy out there . . . and now you're wondering if a doctored version's going to pop up to dispute the #journalists account (and screen shots)
Three Russian Journalists Die in Targeted Killing in Ukraine

I had made up my mind to be tolerant and sit through the #ABC shitshow (#Sarah and #Speersie) and while #Laura was on point, my blood pressure was up half way through Sarah's interview with the #Treasurer.
Sarah kept using coalition talking points to question the Treasurer but when in his answer the Treasurer compared his budget to the coalition' s non-existant financial policies and its record Sarah tells the treasurer off for not talking about his budget. WTF ?
I turned it off. I will learn more about the budget from better #Journalists who do their homework and explain the budget without political bias. All this fishing for gotchas is unnerving and frankly childish.
I'm just glad I didn't stick around for Speersie, I would've had to take blood pressure meds, a cup of chamomile tea and gone to bed for a rest otherwise.
