It's impossible to see the life behind the window by looking at a window.🪟✨ ​When state-guided tours take journalists through carefully curated and pre-prepared locations are we seeing the real picture or just a staged performance? China’s recent visits for international journalists to East Turkistan have raised serious questions,...

Mehdi Hasan's full interview on Sky News this morning Where he introduces Mehdi Hasan "There's a gap in this market. There are underserved communities, groups, voters, readers, viewers, who aren't happy with the British media" "I'm not anti mainstream media.. We can compliment what mainstream media is doing in the independent space" "It's what you're not doing well that we want to do better" "We see media playing both sides journalism on issues that are not really both sides, like racism, the genocide in Gaza, and right now the war in Iran" "This isn't a criticism of individual journalists, we're here at Sky where I think Alex Crawford has done a fantastic job covering the middle east" "But overall institutionally if you look at outlets coverage, it's not been as blunt about what is going on" "Lots of journalists think we are raising the bar, raising the standards, we are also about media accountability" "We journalists talk about finding the truth, that is what our viewers want, but then we hit certain topics and say we can't say the truth because it might upset this or that faction, this or that person in power" "We have this fake definition of impartiality, we must always say X says something, Y says something, even when when Y is lying" "We get to a point where we need to call out lies" "We see that in the coverage of Gaza, in the US with Trump. The media really struggles with a president who lies every day" "People are fed up of that" "Allowing the right to turn the murder of Henry Nowak into an immigration story when the guy who killed him was born in the UK, his father was born in the UK" "It's a real problem when one side is just lying about what is going on" "We shouldn't pretend impartiality means we should take a middle position between two sides" "Take the genocide for example. The number of times Sky or other broadcasters have given Israel a pass. Or taken an Israeli denial as fact, when we know its not fact" "The humanising of one side of the conflict. I think it's undeniable. The British media humanises Israeli victims of violence more than Palestinian victims of violence" "I'm worried about the state of American democracy"

Rahul Gandhi's high-handed attitude toward working journalists is deeply troubling and warrants serious concern. At an election rally in Amaravati, Maharashtra, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, made sweeping remarks about working journalists, accusing them of being beholden to the ruling regime and labelling them as "slaves of their owners." While cloaked in concern for the plight of journalists, his comments carried a tone of condescension that warrants closer scrutiny. Has Mr Gandhi ever reflected on the root causes of the challenges faced by working journalists in India and the state of journalism as a whole? The precarious conditions of journalists today stem largely from rampant contractualisation, driven in part by the neoliberal policies introduced by the Congress-led government in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Until then, journalists had fought for and secured significant rights, including unionization and better working conditions. Contractualisation, however, allowed monopoly media houses to sack journalists at will, weakening unions and leaving journalists vulnerable. If Mr. Gandhi truly wishes to address the plight of journalists, perhaps he should redirect his critique toward the media owners and the structural issues within the industry. The ever-present threat of dismissal, combined with an oversupply of unemployed and underemployed journalists, makes it unrealistic to expect working journalists to rebel against the system at great personal risk. While we acknowledge the immense challenges posed by the current government’s authoritarian tendencies toward the media, it is equally concerning to witness Mr Gandhi’s repeated targeting of journalists. His rhetoric raises legitimate concerns about how his party might approach the press if it were to return to power. If Prime Minister Narendra Modi is rightly criticised for avoiding open press conferences, Mr Gandhi’s recurrent mockery and derision of journalists also deserve rebuke. The Mumbai Press Club has consistently stood against the violation of journalists’ rights, whether by ruling parties, media owners, or other forces. We, therefore, view the high-handed approach of the Leader of the Opposition toward working journalists as a matter of serious concern. Constructive dialogue and accountability, not dismissive remarks, are what the media—and democracy—deserve.

CNN's SE Cupp, chronically miserable and stricken with TDS, on the #WHCD, says "Trump wants us dead, figuratively"... "[The WHCA] made it real easy for him to attend. And I, you know, glad to see everyone's in great spirits. And this is a party. I'm real bummed. Real bummed about tonight. because here's what's happening tonight. Journalism is throwing a party. Journalism is celebrating journalism at this party. Journalism, for some reason, invited Brendan Carr, FCC chair, who is threatening to revoke the licenses of broadcast networks. Pete Hegseth, who removed journalists from the Pentagon, and Donald Trump, who attacks us on the regular. Now, they're giving Donald Trump a speaking position to roast us to our faces for an hour. And he doesn't have to stay for the part where we celebrate journalism and give out awards to journalists and talk about the importance of free speech. And here's the kicker: we broadcast it on national TV. He could not have planned this scenario better. And guess what? He didn't. We did. Journalism planned this scenario for Donald Trump. So, if I'm Donald Trump, of course, I come under these conditions. And you just heard Brian Stelter say that the correspondents association was trying to sort of mend some fences with a guy who wants us dead, figuratively, figuratively. He wants journalism dead. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I don't think this is a great night for journalism. It's a night that's meant to be celebrating it, but I think it's a real bummer."

I had to go back and find the last interview Omar Berrada (#MUFC CEO) did with Andy Mitten because some people have suddenly convinced themselves that Manchester United have no clue what they're doing. When asked about the plan for 2026, Berrada said: "I think we are going to replicate what we did last year in some sense. You always go into the window, but you don't know how you will come out of it. You have to be prepared and have a clear plan. There are opportunities that will come later in the window that aren't there when you are going into it, so you have to be prepared, be flexible, and have a clear plan. But we will always do it within our terms. It's very important we don't let the market or the agents dictate what we should be doing." To break it down: Think of it like mathematics. Your teacher tells you that bearing and distance will be on the exam. That doesn't mean you memorize every bearing question you can find. The smarter approach is to understand the formula and the method. Once you know that, you can solve whatever variation appears. It's the same with the transfer market. Knowing you need to improve the midfield doesn't mean you panic and buy the first hyped player available. It means you know the profile you want, understand the market, and have a strategy. If things changes or some opportunities arrives, as they always do, you adapt without looking desperate or getting dictated to by clubs and agents. That is exactly what United appear to be doing. I hope this help! #mufc #transfer

Glenn Greenwald says corporate journalists are losing their minds over Elon Musk calling out major corporations for stifling free speech because they are in bed with the very corporations they claim to scrutinize. Glenn Greenwald explains that we are at a crossroads where journalism, once a watchdog of establishment power, is now shackled by corporate advertisers. "What went wrong here is not what Elon Musk said. It's so revealing that so many journalists are aghast that anyone would dare tell Disney and major corporations to go f**k yourself when they're trying to limit, censor, and control the flow of political content. If you aren't willing to say that to corporations who are trying to limit what you can say, don't bother calling yourself a journalist. We need way more journalists willing to say, go f**k yourself to people who try and limit what they say. The problem is, is that the people who are hired by these major media corporations, and who thrive in them and succeed in them are people who have the opposite instinct. Their instinct is to assuage and serve and placate establishment power, not to defy it. Even though the purpose of journalism is to be adversarial to establishment power. Once journalism started getting corporatized no longer owned by families dedicated to journalism or local communities but by major corporations that have all kinds of other interests besides their media division. And, what kind of attributes are awarded at major corporations? People who avoid controversy who avoid conflict, who avoid displeasing and angering powerful people. That's the corporate ethos, and the corporatization of media meant that that kind of attribute was imported into journalism. And that's why almost no one who works for large media corporations or the media corporations themselves has the courage to say this. They're shocked. They think it's a sign that he's unhinged when in reality, it's just a sign of how cowardly and craven they are."

The media's fatal mistake was giving Silicon Valley ownership of the audience while journalists did all the work. Journalists no longer own their audience, their data, their revenue, their distribution, or increasingly, even their own work. Think about how insane that is. The people creating the content don't control the business built around it. That's a crisis that's far bigger than left versus right, censorship, or media bias: the entire economic model underpinning journalism is broken. A reporter can risk their life covering a war in Ukraine, corruption in Africa, or political unrest in the Middle East, generate millions of views, and still have no idea how much money their work made, when they'll get paid, why one story performed better than another, or whether the platform will bury them tomorrow. Meanwhile, the platforms know everything. They see every click, every view, every dollar, and every trend. The creators see almost none of it. Coinbase is trying to solve what may be the biggest problem in journalism itself: Ownership. Who owns the audience, the data, the monetization, and most importantly, the relationship with readers? Because for the last decade, the answer has largely been Silicon Valley. And that's exactly why so many journalists, newspapers, creators and independent outlets have been slowly suffocated. His argument is that journalism doesn't have a content problem; it has a control problem. And unless journalists take back ownership of their audiences, their data, their revenue, and their IP, the people producing the information society depends on will continue getting weaker while the platforms built on top of them get stronger. It's one of the most important conversations I've had about the future of media. Because if journalism can't figure out how to survive economically, then eventually there won't be any journalism left to save.
