SPJ: ''No responsible journalist can accept or excuse Fox News behavior' tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/rep
Appealing to confirmation bias and manufacturing outrage with deceptive posturing for profit, popularity or power while turning away from facts is a cynical and hypocritical strategy.

We just found out the Texas Observer is shutting down this week. Unfortunately, we found out via our friends at @texastribune.

It's been an absolute pleasure interacting with everyone in the Fediverse as the Texas Observer, and we'll miss you.

@LoneLocust We finally upgraded ours from a useless rattle-trap landlord special contraption that barely rinsed anything, and yeah, the new one is so quiet we can barely tell it's on.

The fact that approximately 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime during World War II is well-known to educated Americans. Much less well-known are the facts of Roma persecution during World War II. Historians estimate that between 250,000 and 500,000 Romani people were systematically murdered by the German regime, out of a prewar European population of perhaps 1 million.

Elon tweeted this, and then a few hours later respond to a literal fake news site. How pray tell are people supposed to learn about things that happen outside their direct observation and experience other than through “the press?” Just look for some local people you don’t know who are tweeting about something and then “do your own research?”

Another right-wing member of Congress with a (partially) fictional resume. Not as egregious as Santos, but still pretty flagrant.

I'd like to see a foundation fund an organized crowdsourcing of resume checks of every candidate for Congress.

Vacation snapshots. Family portraits. Romantic landscapes of the desert Southwest. For most of the last 61 years, Gary Kittell has cared for thousands upon thousands of photographs as a film processor and developer for Jones Photo, which closed its doors last week.

Not in the story: My father was a pro photographer in Wisconsin in the 70s & 80s. He sent his stuff to Jones for processing, years before anybody in the family set foot in Tucson.
