Curious about how TV news coverage of the widespread campus protests and police responses this spring differed from the coverage in the late 1960s? So were we! Overall there were lots of similarities in the structure of the reporting and the images featured 1/

For MSNBC, I was pleased to write about the Supreme Court’s decision to throw out Murthy v Missouri, and the effect this case and the broader assault on disinformation research can have on individuals.

Habe mal wieder einen längeren Film über Britain gemacht. Über ein Land im Limbo, in dem die soziale Ungleichheit immer schärfer wird und mich gefragt, was die Monarchie mit der englischen Klassengesellschaft zu tun hat. No easy answers, aber interesting insights. Have a look for yourselves.

Deliberately undermining one of the most powerful tools against the threat of global pandemics from novel emerging infectious diseases is not only evil — it’s stunningly shortsighted zero-sum thinking that puts the US population at risk as well.

I am on Meet the Press today! It’s a very good episode on threats to democracy in the 2024 election. The 1st segment is so important – four Secretaries of State discussing threats to election workers, and how they are keeping both elections & their people safe.

For those keeping score at home, 22% of the justices with lifetime Supreme Court appointments had a partner who either (a) texted the White House supporting the insurrection or (b) flew a flag supporting the insurrection outside their house. What would you say if you saw it in another country?

Ain’t that the truth. Never ending source of frustration. But until we systematically refuse to review for journals who are not “single click” this will only get worse.

True story. But I was well aware of your work & what you were going through starting six months prior. And I remember telling colleagues that if we weren’t standing up for you then, that we couldn’t expect others to stand up for us when they came for us. And I knew they would come for us.

Today would also be a good day for the media to ask leading Republicans how they feel about Donald Trump sharing an image of Joe Biden tied up in the back of a pickup truck www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202.... Show them the image. Don't let them say they haven't seen it or do the both sides move.

This also goes for misinfo researchers too: “We need to stand up for our work and defend our work. We need to stand up for our peers’ work and our competitors’ work. … We need to actually fight, to engage lies about our work and to combat efforts to depict it as dishonest or biased.”

One of the most abiding villains in film and literature is Harry Lime, who profiteered during a pandemic, selling fake medicine. Now, thanks to the corruption of Boris Johnson's contemptible government, the rich lists are swarming with Harry Limes.
