Batshit Antisemite #SpaceLaserGreene makes an arse of Herslef to a British #Journalist
@stefano Seems to me that the average #journalist knows as much about #it as the average #politician. Rather depressing.
@randahl wow, i mean if she uses such violent language towards a #white #British #journalist, it leaves very little to the imagination what brown and black civilians are enduring on and off US soil at the hands of this government. Bear it in mind always.

#WhiteHouse sez there's nothing classified in here, so Atlantic #Journalist invited to #NationalSecurity chat has published the thread #Signalgate
If #Democrats can't make hay here, after what happened with HRCs emails, they should all go home, sez me

#Republicans :
"Why was that #journalist on our Signal chat?"
#Democrats :
"Why was a national security chat on #Signal?"
"But her emails!"

Allies of the #UnitedStates see the group chat between top U.S. officials about a planned attack in #Yemen that accidentally included a #journalist as a jaw-dropping #SecurityBreach which casts doubt on intelligence-sharing with #Washington and the security of joint #military operations.
Investigative journalism in #Somalia is welcome, and @washingtonpost report from Feb made valuable contributions to story of #ISIS foreign recruitment in #Puntland state. But the story vastly exaggerates its own importance, among other issues...

Let me tell you what happens next:
- Nobody will be fired over the #Signal scandal
- They will shift the blame on the #journalist, maybe even accusing him of a #crime
- This will definitely happen again and foreign intel agencies may be able to intercept these messages
Al Jazeera #journalist #HossamShabat killed in Israeli attack on #Gaza. “In a post…prewritten by Shabat, he wrote, “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed — most likely targeted — by the Israeli occupation forces…. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza…Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories — until #Palestine is free.” | #Israel-#Palestine conflict m | Al Jazeera https://www-aljazeera-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/3/24/al-jazeera-journalist-killed-in-israeli-strikes-in-northern-gaza

Anyone stupid enough to use a messaging app to discuss defence secrets should be sacked immediately. Taking into account his level of incompetence, calling Hegseth “pathetic” would be a compliment. America would be better off if the Marx Brothers were in charge…

The world seems stunned by the US security scandal, but Hegseth and the pro-Trump news channels are rushing to deny it. When the reporter comes under fire as a hoaxer and screenshots of the chat leak out in his defence, I wouldn’t like to be in Trump’s position.

What does it mean for news to be impartial?
"The impartiality requirement means that news must be presented in such a way that one side of an issue is
not unduly favoured over another, and that the program does not show prejudice or bias against a particular side. To that end, an indicator of an impartial news program is that it
provides sufficient information for viewers to make up their own mind about the issues presented" (ACMA investigation, 2022).
