  Sure ok, which facts do you want to check? Will require a bit of reading on your part, but certainly informative and relevant today - https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/connections-trump-putin-russia-ties-chart-flynn-page-manafort-sessions-214868/https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/06/politics/trump-putin-ukraine/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2019/11/17/politics/trump-soft-on-russia/index.htmlhttps://newrepublic.com/article/165553/donald-trump-everything-vladimir-putin-wished-russian-assethttps://www.wnyc.org/story/mystery-president-trumps-relationship-putin-business-ties-russia/

• Good News About Media Misinformation by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 01/17/2022)
  

  Tell you what - how's this. you post your home address here or email me, and I'll come over to your house and build a platform out of two by fours and put a rope on it and see how you feel about it. Cause, you know, it's just for a laugh - don't mean anything by it - just fooling around. I might even bring some white hoods and we can wear them. How's that - free speech - you ok? When can I come by? Honestly, our comment is beyond crazy. As long as you're listing all of Congress's crimes, what about the Bush Tax Cuts, the Trump Tax Cuts, the The Military Budget - and allowing China to take over Walmart? 

• Good News About Media Misinformation by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 01/17/2022)
  

  totally support free speech - so, for example, when you write "I have a hard time understanding that you like others look at the "few" who stormed the Capitol Building and classify all attending the rally as a part of the insurrection." as you did in a previous post, I think that comment should stay up, even though the 'rally attendees brought a gallows, bear spray, handcuffs, electric cattle prods, bulletproof vests, and other weapons. I'm sure that anyone who was there, or watched the video, or heard the testimony of the law enforcement officers who risked their lives and live now with the trauma might have something to say to you. So yes, I'm fine with AON being silence - as broadcasters of misinformation - that is what they deserve.

  Hi Francis  -Here are a few links to News Standards - NY Times Standards. https://www.nytco.com/company/standards-ethics/ABC News Standards  https://about.abc.net.au/how-the-abc-is-run/what-guides-us/abc-editorial-standards/I wasn't able to find one for Fox, but maybe you have a link to share? 

• On Anonymity, Friends --- And How Real People Matter by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 09/27/2020)
  

  So, what you're suggesting is that i just call random friends and ask if they want to buy an iPhone? I think it's pretty hard to know who needs a phone at any given time...

• Trump: A Childhood of Abuse by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 07/20/2020)
  

  Doug, book reviews are - by definition - opinion. I read the book, I had a very strong feeling about it, and I shared my opinion about the book. If I created fake quotes and attributed them to the book and its author, that would be "fake journalism." But this post is most certainly not. If you have thoughts about the book, or my take on it, i'd be happy to respond to those comments. But if you simply don't like my opinions about the book - labeling them 'fake' is misleading. 

• Trump Vs. Paul E. Singer by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 06/01/2020)
  

  Tom, you've made my point precisely. I belive communications coming from The White House should be carefully written, fact checked, and published with an understanding of the power of the office and the complexity of the world we live in. So if you somehow think that having staff check facts, or give the President counsel as to how a phrase or word could have a historic context, then you're right. For example: "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" was something Trump casually wrote, but it clearly was an incitement to violence, and had been in the past repudiated and therefore understood to be dangerous. Either Trump didn't know that, or he did. But if he'd had staff google the phrase,  he would have found this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/08/07/how-three-violent-days-gripped-a-black-miami-neighborhood-as-nixon-was-nominated-in-1968/ (because words matter).

• The First Reality TV President by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 04/27/2020)
  

  Lots of words. Let me ask a simple question - did you vote for Trump or Hillary - or did you stay home?

• The First Reality TV President by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 04/27/2020)
  

  Ken - honestly if you're going to use MAGA logic in comments, please at least consult the MAGA playbook. CHAPTER 32: "Don't respond to posts reminding people of Trump's bankruptcy, as doing so will require you to make claims about his wealth, which is the basis of a number of supreme court cases trying to get access to his now deeply hidden tax returns. Simply put, his relative winning is entirely hidden. Also, it tends to bring up all the vendors and contractors who have been unpaid by him.  https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/columnists/mike-kelly/2020/01/24/donald-trump-still-owes-money-to-contractors-who-built-taj-mahal-atlantic-city/4547037002/https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/08/trump-rallies-unpaid-bills-039631https://theweek.com/articles/783976/brief-history-trumps-smalltime-swindlesSo, your argument is he's the man for the job because he's overseen lots of economic calamcities? Ok, but then who's the target of this massive grift? Maybe he can blame the Governors? Or China? Or maybe there are some local sheriffs he can blaim. Because taking responsibility just isn't his game. Is this you: Kenneth Kurtz (born February 15, 1947) is a Republican politician from Michigan who was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 2009 until 2014.[1]Kurtz owned and operated three funeral homes in the Coldwater area, and was pastor of United Brethren Church in that town. He has served on several community boards and is a member of several local organizations.[2]Nice hometown, btw:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/michigan-capitol-protests-lockdown-stay-at-home-vote-armed-bulletproof-vest-a9493306.htmlShame you got out of the Funeral Home business, seems like you would haven done well to wait for the Trump Plague to swing on through your hometown. 

• LinkedIn's 9/11 Marketing Fail by Steven Rosenbaum (Media Insider on 08/26/2019)
  

  Juan - here's the thing. If this was just a mistake, then ok. But LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, and big companies have at least three calendars they check before they schedule any marketing event. They check their internal list (ie: LinkIn events) they check Corporate events (ie Microsoft) and they check industry event s(ie: Apple, etc.). So there's no way that one employee gets to schedule a 9/11 marketing event. And, while PR might advise marketing as to how to respond, PR isn't setting marketing objectives or plans, they're just putting out fires. So sending a customer and journalist to PR (and then PR not even making an attempt to reach out) tell me that they know it was a bad decision, and they're just hoping it will go away. 9/11 has had profound impact on our country, impact that is very much in play today 18 years later - so sweeping it under the rug is sure to make things worse in the years ahead.
