Great news. The tariff had been very harmful for the newspaper industry.

The 4 techniques Trump uses to undermine the press:
1) Berate the media and turn the public against it.
2) Limit media access.
3) Threaten the media.
4) Bypass the media and communicate with the public directly. pic.twitter.com/9djHbOIOwx

NPR did not handle the interview with a white supremacist properly

Here’s the interview

So I finally wrote about that terrible @NPR interview with Jason Kessler –> NPR teaches listeners about the proper care and feeding of white nationalists https://t.co/wPXPn9QX9s

— Karen Attiah (@KarenAttiah) August 11, 2018

Here’s the section on the races cited in the column in which the interviewer didn’t challenge the bigot:

“KING: Do you think that white people are smarter than black people?
KESSLER: There is enormous variation between individuals, but the IQ testing is pretty clear that it seems like Ashkenazi Jews rate the highest in intelligence, then Asians, then white people, then Hispanic people and black people. And that’s – there’s enormous variance. But just as a matter of science, that IQ testing is pretty clear.”

The alt-right is openly racist

Now some Fox hosts think Mueller is worse than Putin

Mueller is a patriot while Putin tried to sabotage our election.

The claim that Mueller is a greater threat to the republic than Putin is so over the top one's inclined to ignore it. But Levin said it soon after dinner with Trump and Pirro repeated it. Is Trump intensifying the assault on Mueller in case Trump wants to move against him soon?

— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) August 11, 2018

If you mistakenly thought there was any bottom to how low the pro-Trump crowd would go, the drumbeat on Fox is now that Mueller is a greater threat to the nation than Vladimir Putin.

— Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) August 11, 2018

If anyone needed more of a reason to turn off the angry talking heads of conservative news entertainment this is it. Whose purpose are Levin and Hannity serving to lift Putin above the virtues of Mueller? For money, they sell America’s capitulation to Putin.

Trump makes an endorsement error but blames the media

Pathetic! Liar!

Before Trump's Ohio rally, he tweeted to tell people to vote Steve Stivers. Stivers isn't running. Trump deleted, posted a Vote Troy Balderson tweet.

Then, at the rally, he pretended his own error was a media error for which he was owed an apology. The crowd chanted CNN SUCKS. pic.twitter.com/thmGfTyxW7

Trump is leading a hate movement against the press

Someone will get hurt. It will be Trump’s fault for inciting his cult members.

The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!

Yep, this is what @jayrosen_nyu and I have been arguing as well. But the crucial additional point is that this connects directly with Trump's deliberate and nonstop provocations on many other fronts, including his stoking of racial tensions:https://t.co/7w01AWzDjF https://t.co/WUvQzZuEzq
