Responsible media outlets are moving slowly and erring on the side of caution. D. Trump is not. The coverage — especially from responsible news outlets — has been heavy on facts and expert analysis and light on speculation and finger-pointing www.poynter.org/commentary/2... @ejnetwork.bsky.social
The media’s overall responsible plane crash coverage includes calling out Trump - Poynter
Responsible media outlets are moving slowly and erring on the side of caution. The president is not. And they’re rightfully criticizing him for it.

The Associated Press vigorously counters the claim (of a recent documentary) that the author of this iconic picture is not its photographer Nick Ut. The "girl on the photo", Kim Phúc, also backs the AP and denounces the claim as "mean and untrue"

Rigorous reporting revealed a potentially big story was a nonstory. For its verification efforts, the nonprofit took a beating.

Contrary to politicians who fear to face their sleepwalking voters' anger and are ready to lie to justify a "pause" journalists would be flouting their ethical duty if they don't report seriously on the effects of climate change.
