‘She Liked to Say the Word Dildo’: Ali Velshi Reviews Joy Reid’s Wild Clash with Moms for Liberty Cofounder
MSNBC host Ali Velshi remarked that Moms For Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice “liked to say the word dildo” on Friday after Justice used the word a number of times during an interview with MSNBC’s Joy Reid. During the interview, in which Justice defended her organization’s fight to ban sexually explicit books with themes of rape, incest, and sex toys in school libraries, she repeatedly said the word “dildo,” using it four times in the span of just four minutes.

"I feel like the important sort of data point [...] is that these are white Christians. This is a state that is overrepresented by white Christians that are going to participate in these caucuses, especially tonight...This is a hyper evangelical, white state.....What do they get out of supporting Donald Trump? Because he keeps losing. He keeps delivering losses and losses and losses.........It is religion.....And I think what we have to actually confront—and this is what the Democrats are going to face—is this is now what white evangelicalism is. It is Christian nationalism. That's the name of it, right?.......What they're saying is, 'We own this country, and everyone will bow down to us.'"

Warped Front Pages
Seven years ago, in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, media analysts rushed to explain Donald Trump’s victory. Misinformation was to blame, the theory went, fueled by Russian agents and carried on social networks. But as researchers, we wondered if fascination and fear over “fake news” had led people to underestimate the influence of traditional journalism outlets. After all, mainstream news organizations remain an important part of the media ecosystem—they’re widely read and watched; they help set the agenda, including on social networks. We decided to look at what had been featured on the printed front page of the New York Times in the three months leading up to Election Day. Of a hundred and fifty articles that discussed the campaign, only a handful mentioned policy; the vast majority covered horse race politics or personal scandals. Most strikingly, the Times ran ten front-page stories about Hillary Clinton’s email server. “If voters had wanted to educate themselves on issues,” we concluded, “they would not have learned much from reading the Times.” We didn’t suggest that the election coverage in the Times was any worse than what appeared in other major outlets, “so much as it was typical of a broader failure of mainstream journalism.” But we did expect, or at least hope, that in the years that followed, the Times would conduct a critical review of its editorial policies. Was an overwhelming focus on the election as a sporting contest the best way to serve readers? Was obsessive attention to Clinton’s email server really justified in light of the innumerable personal, ethical, and ultimately criminal failings of Trump? It seemed that editors had a responsibility to rethink both the volume of attention paid to certain subjects as well as their framing.

Not Even Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Firing Could Save Newsmax
In order to avoid running afoul of its new “cable agreements,” Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy announced the launch of Newsmax+, which costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year to access the channel’s programming outside of paid TV providers. However, seemingly in an effort to placate customers who’d long tuned in for free online, the network is now offering a separate free streamer with alternative programming not aired on the main channel. Newsmax2, as it's called, offers shows hosted by the likes of disgraced Fox News anchor Ed Henry and ex-Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, who was fired from the network following allegations of sexual harassment. The streaming service also airs the nightly podcast of Rudy Giuliani, who keeps getting himself into legal trouble with his Newsmax rants.
