Journalism is about objectivity, not neutrality. Neutral "journalism" is a canard.

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same. Objectivity is a slave to facts in pursuit of the truth. Neutrality is the art of presenting fact and fiction as equal.

Neutrality evelates lies. It's de facto bias.

Oh no, one of my favourite artists of all time has passed away. RIP Dru Struzan, your incredible portraiture will endure.
Here's one of my many favourites.

Your local police station should have all the forms you need. Mine even gave me a nice quiet cell to use while filling them out. Tho I'm still waiting for them to come back and get me so i can leave.

Secure in the knowledge that none of the national news organizations that freaked out over Democrats just looking at social media will do even minimal coverage of open Republican government censorship.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Screw it, two more; an original and half a cover. This doesn't really fit, as it was written by Shel Silverstein (yeah, that Shel Silverstein) for Meryl to sing in the movie. But I'm dropping it here bc i love turning people on to this song. Just ask my neighbors when I'm mowing the lawn.

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.
