It’s time for once and for all acknowledge that fixers are essential workers for western media outlets. Covering conflicts wouldn’t be possible without them. The precarious work conditions and no bylines for them should end ASAP

This is the Ukrainian member of the @FoxNews crew. She was killed today alongside their cameraman. Fox News doesn’t even mention her in their report. (Photo published by Oksana Romaniuk of the Institute of Mass Information)

President Jo Ann Rooney has announced that this will be her final year at Loyola in a recent email. Story to come.


The new version of a media ethics textbook added this sentence: "... pundits such as Sean Hannity or Anderson Cooper...build loyalty by affirming the beliefs of their audiences, cherry picking information that serves that purpose." False balance?

So the video Bannon streamed live saying Dr. Anthony Fauci and Christopher Wray should be beheaded has been on Facebook for 10 hours and has 200,000 views. 10 hours. Remember that next time Zuckerberg talks about all the moderators and A.I. they have.


CNN, follow MSNBC and stop broadcasting these dangerous lies. Republican leaderships, publicly denounce this deranged man.
