Zoom Meeting Join us for a video conference on the topic "Current Events". Each session we will try to focus on a different current events topic. This week's reading assignment: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/09/media-mistakes/616222/ Very good article outlining the 3 major problems facing the press covering this election. Gives very clear examples of “both-sides-ism”, the political horse race,And the drive for clicks and ratings. They all fell below par in 2016 “But her e-mails!”, one would hope some have learned something for 2020. As I have pointed out before, it’s taken the NYT to learn to use the term “lie” and not try to hide it within paragraph 17. James Fallows thinks there’s much still to learn. To be on the email list for this group, please make sure you have added your name to the on the Activities Overview Page HERE Meeting will be led by GNPS member, Arlynn Brody.
