The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.

The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.

And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

CBS & WaPo are in the WH Hall of Shame, even after capitulating to Trump.

*The bully will continue to take your lunch money.*

He wants you all to be stenographers &/or propaganda outlets. Otherwise you are a 🎯 for Trump's MAGA flying monkeys.

(For God's sake, journos, stick up for one another!)
Trump putting the Washington Post and CBS News in his “Offender Hall of Shame,” even as they bend over backwards to curry favor tells us that nothing short of full propaganda mode will ever be acceptable to him. There's no way for a news organization to maintain credibility and be "fair" to Trump.

The coal lobby's new lines are even more effective when there is so little push back from the major parties.

The difference between a climate-denying Coalition and a government going painfully slowly on climate action is close to irrelevant, when both are fossil-fueled. #ClimateCrisis #auspol
'The reassuring centrist wrap around a nakedly pro-coal message would not fool progressives knowledgeable about the energy transition. However, it may work on less-knowledgeable voters vulnerable to its “reasonable person” appeal.'

Again this is about the transformation of the use of urban space in a place.
Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.

Streets for people are good for business.

surely it's a choice about the use of space in a place? a more useful framing than focus on cars also because car lobby spent millions on generating personal ID with vehicle and fostering car dependency.
Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.
