NPR forced to apologize after boosting Media Matters' lie that National Review editor used 'racial slur'
NPR has apologized after boosting the Media Matters lie that National Review's Rich Lowry used a racial slur on Megyn Kelly's show when he fumbled over the words "migrants" and "immigrants," making some launch the false accusation that he said the n-word in a September 15 show with Kelly.  The outlet came out with a story dedicated to apologizing for originally headlining, "Conservative editor-in-chief appears to use racial slur to refer to Haitian migrants" after Lowry, who even addressed the word mix-up prior to the story getting drafted. The outlet, after recognizing its mistake, changed the headline to "Conservative editor-in-chief says mispronunciation led to accusations of using slur." (Post Millenial 10/5/24) READ MORE>>>>>
Media Matters statement on winning injunction against Texas AG Ken Paxton in federal court
Media Matters President and CEO Angelo Carusone issued the following statement after Judge Amit Mehta of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia granted Media Matters a preliminary injunction against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Elon Musk encouraged Republican state attorneys general to use their power to harass their critics and stifle reporting about X. Ken Paxton was one of those AGs that took up the call and he was defeated. Today's decision is a victory for free speech. (Media Matter 4/12/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Dershowitz joins Miami Herald effort to get full list of Epstein ‘John Does’ unsealed
MIAMI — Famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz has asked the judge in a previously settled and sealed libel suit involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime girlfriend, to unseal a full list of “J. Does” — associates of the sex-trafficking multimillionaire who were named in the course of the litigation. The judge this week unsealed the file — and released the first 1,000 pages of documents — but did not provide a who’s-who index of those who had come up as witnesses, victims or colleagues of the notorious couple. Dershowitz, who was a friend of and lawyer for the late financier, is piggybacking on a motion made by The Miami Herald, which spent years in court trying to get the full, unredacted file unsealed, finally succeeding this week.

-“Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.”  ― G.K. Chesterton
​“So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.”― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
“People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.”   ― Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice
​“Heartless gossips pose as professional press, they get a few quotes and run with the story like Seabiscuit to the finish line. They’re nothing more than conmen, salesmen, pitchmen, pompous men professing to be of public service—and they have the freedom to do so. There’s no price to pay.”  ― Pamela L Hamilton, Lady Be Good Lib/E: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale
