I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.”
Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy.
That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done.
If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

Seeing a band live can reinforce a song as one of your favorites & turn one you never really listened to into a new one. Seeing the Old 97’s at Bell's the other week, I was hoping they'd play “Every Night Is Friday Night (Without You)” & they did. The revelation for me was “Rollerskate Skinny.”

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in “security,” “order,” and “law enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
