The great @johncusack.bsky.social on why news organizations shouldn't paywall FOIA-based reporting: "Paywalls don’t just limit readership, they create kind of a tiered citizenry, where one group can afford to know what the government is doing in their name and the other can’t."

cjr.org

John Cusack wants to talk about paywalls.

The movie star says that by selling their public-records-based reporting, news outlets are compromising one of journalism’s essential civic roles.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

@SecWar
As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland.

As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.

The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them.

Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command.

Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back.

*nodding and pointing upward sagely*

Individual instances like that have relatively small impacts, but when so much of the media does it, in so many ways, for years on end, i creates a process of normalization. The US right gets more fascist, mainstream figures pretend they didn't, presenting a fictional version that liberal elites find reasonable. That creates a new baseline, which fascists use to go further, which mainstream media pretends didn't happen, and eventually it's like the metaphor of a frog in slowly heating water, failing to notice that things have fundamentally changed until it's already boiling.

In this specific instance, the impact is giving people who didn't know of Charlie Kirk the false impression he was a supporter of free speech gunned down because others can't tolerate open dialogue. That in turn provides some cover for crackaowns on free speech in Kirk's
name.
