    Today the chose to eliminate my role, stating that there is no need for a dedicated focus on newsroom and journalistic security. I strongly believe in what I do (and what we did), and to say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. (1/3)

    Can finally talk about one of the big pieces of news in Catch and Kill: it’s the first time a reporter has gained access to AMI’s list of the contents of its vault of Trump secrets—and the first disclosure of claims that AMI destroyed material about Trump before the election.

    SCOOP: American Media, Inc. and the National Enquirer shredded sensitive Trump-related documents that had been held in a top-secret safe right before Trump was elected in 2016, according to fresh allegations made in a new book by journalist .

    And finally, it’s worth remembering that political advertising on television (much of it local) is going to be *by far* the biggest slice of the pie in terms of money spent. By far.

    So feel free to blame Facebook for everything from the current occupant of the white house to the crappy weather outside if you want to. But the problem with political advertising is one you can’t lay at their feet.

    There are more regulations governing ads for face cream than there are political advertising—on Facebook, on TV, in print. Anywhere. The courts have regularly struck down laws that try to assert a “truth in advertising” requirement for political ads.

    I am sympathetic to the view that politicians shouldn’t be allowed to lie in ads. I understand the obsession with Facebook. But folks, lying in political advertising isn’t just reality; it’s practically a constitutionally protected right.

    Facebook has incredible power to affect elections and our national debate. Mark Zuckerberg is telling employees that he views a Warren administration as an “existential” threat to Facebook. The public deserves to know how Facebook intends to use their influence in this election.

    So, there it is, and . Yankees swept. I mean, I don’t want to say I told you so… but I told you so. Believe me when I said I wanted to be wrong. Desperately. But Star Wars is a movie, and in this world, the Empire always freakin’ wins.

    Sorry to keep banging on about this. But here again the does terrific work on the news side—while it’s editorial page systematically undermines it. Is it any wonder people don’t know what to believe anymore?

    Kinda surprised this ruling hasn’t generated more discussion. Curious what people think the implications could be for free-speech — and how this squares with the Google ruling last week.
