It doesn't matter how egregious or obviously racist Trump's lies are, they just write down whatever the guy who averaged 20.9 "false or misleading statements" every day during his first term says and print it.

If you live in the U.S., you may have encountered or even subscribed to a newsletter called Good Day or Good Daily. There are 355 different versions for cities and towns across the country; each is a roundup of links to stories from legitimate local sources. It's all created by one man, Matthew Henderson, and his AI tools. While he claims he's helping struggling local outlets, their teams say he's not — they're not getting traffic from the newsletters and Henderson's business practices are questionable. “From fabricated testimonials on his websites to the absence of contact information and zero transparency about his information-gathering process including AI usage, his approach completely undermines the principles of trustworthy journalism,” says Rodney Gibbs, head of audience and product at the National Trust for Local News. Here's more from NiemanLab.

Every time we come to compile this #NewstodonFriday thread, we’re amazed at what indie newsrooms are able to accomplish — but particularly this week, when we were gobsmacked by two pieces of painstaking reporting, both relating to Texas: @ProPublica wrote about how the state’s abortion ban has made pregnancy more dangerous, and @TexasObserver identified an ICE prosecutor as the operator of a racist social media account. Please click on, read and boost all the stories in this thread, donate to publishers, and support independent media.

#Bluesky is owned by #crypto bros, it's not going to save you. The #plutocracy will call in their favors at the opportune time, and it's going to fall the same as #Twitter did. The manipulation you can't see is probably already underway

The #Fediverse is our #refuge, #sanctuary, and, grimly, perhaps our last hold out

⛔️⚠️Every Western Media Network aired some form of Russian invasion anniversary coverage. However, not one of these ‘Mainstream’ networks educated viewers on the Budapest Memorandum, and why the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. are supporting Ukraine to restore its borders outlined in the memorandum’s language. Are Ukraine experts so far down the Trump rabbit hole that they have forgotten what and why Russia is the aggressor and invader in this scenario? #Ukraine #Media #Press #News #Mastodon

It would be good if the press mentioned that fentanyl deaths are declining "in large part due to concerted efforts to curb trafficking by the Joe Biden administration in cooperation with other countries, namely China and Mexico." And that Canada is responsible for almost none of the US supply.

A top official in the Department of Labor this week informed all staff members that they could face criminal charges if they speak to journalists, former employees or others about agency business.
“This message will serve as your only warning,” the memo stated.
