Powerful New York Times ad calls out lawmakers funded by the NRA

sudshr47 February 21, 2018

The New York Times has “all the news that’s fit to the print” — and all the ad spreads too.

Gun control groups Everytown for Gun Safety and Mom’s Demand Action for Gun Sense joined forces and purchased a two-page ad in the New York Times on Wednesday, listing the name of every politician in Congress who has received money from the NRA as well as their phone numbers.

Did the NY Times go too easy on Donald Trump?

sudshr47 December 29, 2017

President Donald Trump gave an “impromptu” interview to the New York Times on Thursday and it’s as incoherent and self-aggrandizing as you might expect.

At the Grill Room at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, the president and Times reporter Michael S. Schmidt talk about the tax bill, Russia, Hillary Clinton and North Korea.

A few key quotes:

“I know the details of taxes better than anybody. Better than the greatest C.P.A. I know the details of health care better than most, better than most.”
“I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department.”
“I like very much President Xi. He treated me better than anybody’s ever been treated in the history of China.” Read more…

Vice Media reportedly settled 4 sexual harassment, defamation cases against employees

sudshr47 December 23, 2017

Vice Media may be hailed as millennial digital-media darling covering edgy, hip topics, but its workplace culture is out-dated and rotten, according to a damning New York Times investigation published Saturday.

The investigation uncovered four settlements for alleged sexual harassment and defamation against the Brooklyn-based media company’s employees — including its president, Andrew Creighton.

The allegations include unwanted sexual advances, forced kissing and groping from the former head of Vice News, and a retaliatory firing after a woman rejected a relationship with Vice’s president Creighton. Read more…

Twitter apologises for accidentally blocking New York Times account

sudshr47 November 27, 2017

Twitter is not new to making glaring mistakes in suspending or blocking the wrong people on the platform.

But this time it’s quite massive.

The social media platform apologised to the New York Times after it blocked its @nytimesworld account for 24 hours after an alleged violation of Twitter’s rules about hateful conduct.

The account had tweeted a story about Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau apologising to indigenous people in a Canadian province. Here’s the tweet in question:

sudshr47 November 10, 2017

On the same day he was accused of sexual misconduct in the New York Times, comedian Louis C.Kcanceled his movie premiere and an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It’s still unclear if and how Colbert and his late-night peers will handle the C.K. story; many of them worked with him closely or at least in the same circles.

But Colbert wasn’t about to pretend that nothing happened. He mentioned the Times story right out the gate to acknowledge C.K.’s absence on the show – and he did it in a segment about accused sexual predator Roy Moore. Read more…
