As someone who cares deeply about local news, this sounded exciting. But then I went to the individual sites and discovered that many of them are simply templated shells pretending to be "local." The one for my town, Media, had not a single word local story.

I was on that jury and pushed unsuccessfully for @jkbjournalist.bsky.social to win the prize. I can say with full authority that the Dershowitz letter played no role. It was a well-known editor who staged what I considered to be a bizarre campaign from inside the jury.

Today's Pentagon “press conference” was a shameful insult to the founders who established freedom of the press. The questions coming from right-wing lackeys might as well have been drafted by Hegseth himself. Perhaps they were.

Because, in my opinion, the greatest dilemma public colleges across the country face is that they NEVER receive enough state or federal funding. So they are forced to submit grant applications to the country’s philanthropic organizations to fit an ever-growing gap. THIS IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.

In his episode on “How to Prevent and Treat Colds and Flu”, he describes why he doesn’t typically get the annual shot while stating “the flu shot is completely ineffective at combatting any other forms of the flu virus”—that’s false as even in cases of mismatch, the vax protects against hosp/death.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

In the early hours of this test, @cnn.com is showing poorly. Its focus on the logistics of the military operation is sorely misplaced. In the decades to come, few will care about how the U.S. invaded Venezuela, but rather why it did, under what authorization it did, and what was to follow.

And having supervised the production of front pages for a very good newspaper for many years, I can tell you that if there's anything editors hate more than having to tear up the preplanned front page, it's looking clueless--as the NYT does today.

David Boardman @dboardman.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

This convenient analysis ignores the inconvenient fact that this protest was much anticipated as news because it was uncertain how large the participation would be and whether the events would in fact be peaceful. Given that, a good editor would simply have preserved a prominent place for it.

If there was any doubt that the deployment of troops is to foment violence, not prevent it, this ploy from Trump should dispel that. Portland’s crime has been plummeting. But it’s also a city that won’t stand by quietly, and protests will likely turn violent. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump deploys troops to Portland, authorizing ‘full force’ if necessary

The action escalates a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent.
