Legal experts, incl. Ted Boutrous, myself, others, share why Musk’s suit against Media Matters lacks merit. It has 1 purpose: to silence one of his most vocal critics, while chilling the efforts of others seeking accountability from Twitter. cnn.com/2023/11/21/tec…

The death is being investigated as a homicide, & the sheriff has not ruled out hate crime charges.

The medical examiner explained that the autopsy found Kessler's 'manner of death' to be a homicide, which has a different meaning in the medical world:

The problem with the Taylor Swift reporter hire is that Gannet hired a full stan, rather than someone who is capable of being critical of one of the most powerful people in pop culture.

George’s quotes to Oliver Darcy in tonight’s Reliable Sources col should shame interviewers who allow Repubs to dodge on q of election denial. It’s a disgrace they wont acknowledge truth bc they cower before MAGA fascists +allow that monstrous lie to continue its poisonous impact

It's been interesting to watch the right adopt the same language policing of the left during this conflict — including whining that media outlets don't immediately describe killings as 'murders' before charges have even been filed

'At an actual news organization, such comments would be unacceptable.
'But Fox is different. Its refusal to address the matter underscores once more that Rupert Murdoch's television arm is comfortable broadcasting hate to the masses.'

Excellent follow-up on the misreporting of the Gaza hospital explosion by ⁦Oliver Darcy⁩. Several news outlets declined to comment on how they reported the story; some didn’t reply at all. view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/16981…

BBC team reporting from Gaza find dozens of neighbours & friends among the injured & dead in Al-Shifa Hospital. Exceptional reporting - at a huge personal cost - from adnanelbursh Rushdi Abualouf & many others in Gaza.

The amount of disinformation/ rumors presented as fact/unverified breaking news on this platform right now is incredibly problematic.

EU officials are warning X that it could face penalties for hosting mis- and disinformation about the Israel-Hamas war. From Donie O'Sullivan and me: cnn.com/2023/10/10/tec…

a few tweets from one of the accounts that Elon Musk just recommended as a good source for news

The first account recommended by Elon Musk is well-known for highly questionable posts about Jewish people, and the second is one of the worst 'osint' accounts when it comes to posting misleading and unsourced content.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a company owner destroy a product's basic functionality as quickly as Musk has done with Twitter. I find it borderline useless as a fast news service these days and my feed is full of tweets from people I don't follow.

The NYC flood situation was very well modeled by our hires tools. Not sure what the messaging was the decision makers or how it was acted on but there certainly was a solid 24-hour heads up for a significant event in our guidance.

The flood footage coming out of New York City is the latest example of aging infrastructure built for a climate that no longer exists. The spoken urgency for infrastructure modernization needs to be matched by action.

The forecast signal for this flash flooding event was quite good — despite the typical uncertainty in the exact location, virtually all of the major convection allowing models yesterday agreed on rain totals over 6-8 inches somewhere in the NYC metro.

With 5.09' of rain at #NYC Central Park since Midnight, today is the 8th rainiest day in over 56,000+ recorded daily rainfall totals - 154 years. Another 1-3' is possible before midnight. NWS New York NY NBC News
