Expecting the Trump White House to go after these journalists, if only for the theatrics. If you want to help protect the rights of reporters to report, donate to @RCFP.
SCOOP: Top White House officials believe NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings of Situation Room meetings for their new book.
Such a taped leak would be a shocking breach of one of the most secure settings on Earth. axios.com/2026/06/14/trump-s…

Congrats to the Temple Knicks - Brunson, Tyndale, Sanchez, and Rose. More Owls on the NY payroll than any other Big 5 school.

The U.S. President's habit of lashing out at women journalists – particularly women of color – cannot be ignored. From Catherine Lucey to Rachel Scott, Kaitlan Collins to Akayla Gardner, journalists covering the White House must be able to ask questions and be met with dignity.

What's most evident in the @BariWeiss era at @CBSNews is not so much journalistic malpractice-at least not yet-but managerial malpractice. The clumsy incompetence of Weiss and her lieutenants reveals more about their inexperience as leaders than it does their inexperience in TV.

This is a great tribute to Scott Pelley from a former colleague.
I worked at CBS News for almost 6 years. It was a place that frequently drove me crazy bc of how resistant it was to change. How difficult it was to get things done bc you had to fight so many people and their “Cronkite and Murrow would roll over in their graves if they saw” mentality.
For those who think Scott Pelley was part of the problem, you are wrong. Yes he could be rigid and a stickler for certain traditions. But I will tell you now the Gen Z people I worked w all loved him. Like me, they forgave a lot of his boomer ways bc we were in awe of investigations he did using hidden cameras exposing snake oil salesmen hurting Americans; showing us how Assad was using chemical weapons on his own people; the pain of rural Americans waiting for half a day to get affordable healthcare in a parking lot of a mobile clinic; his searing interviews w survivors of mass shootings.
Yeah he was old fashioned in some ways. I used to tease him bc he always had trouble pronouncing Beyoncé’s name.
But he was willing to be pushed. He was open to new ideas. The fact that someone like me and someone like him got along so well is proof of that. The guy made me a better thinker and a better journalist.

We, the citizens of Philadelphia, hereby disown this dishonorable man who was born here.
Watters: I have questions I want reporters to ask low T Talarico:
Do you own a gun? Are you a Cowboys fan? Does he know the Spurs are playing tonight? Does he own a truck? Does he believe in premarital sex? Does he wear women’s underwear?

CNN fact checker Daniel Dale hasn’t been on the air since March 13. That’s after averaging 12 or 13 appearances a month for several years.
But apparently, there’s absolutely no reason for this.
He’s still doing fact checks. He’s done 16 in the past six or seven weeks. But nothing on the air.
He did one on Friday about the 28 lies Trump told last week. But that one didn’t make it on the air.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Honored, touched to receive a “Lifetime Achievement Award” from @NYFestivals. Making this all the more meaningful, @BillWhitakerCBS with a generous intro. Thanks to so many creative souls I’ve stood with in newsrooms/ control rooms world wide, including my @RFERL colleagues.

I found the statement odd. @amanpour was incredulous at the White House’s strategy, not your reporting.

“Reporting isn’t treason.”

ALT “Reporting isn’t treason. It’s foundational to a free press and the work that America’s founders wrote the First Amendment to protect. That includes making clear when the claims of government officials and the reality of their actions don’t line up. Our reporters, in this case, have been working carefully to provide the public with the fullest possible understanding of the reality of the military action in Iran. We will continue this important, constitutionally protected work.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times
