Listen to Where’s There’s Smoke: A Sex Offender with a Badge, from University of South Carolina journalists. It’s about officials’ handling of sex crime allegations against a school resource officer. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Great job by @kaitlancollins holding her cool and asking important questions about Epstein even in the face of ridicule youtu.be/KpcUiCJE4Co?si=Fbjp…

Great question by ABC chief news correspondent Mary Bruce. Trump should be ashamed for attempting to ridicule a journalist for asking a fair question. This comes days after Trump called another journalist’s question “insubordinate.” You’re not our boss. facebook.com/share/v/14QypQ7…

Wow! Amazing catch from USC’s softball player @eavinson3 to steal a homerun from Clemson. This Gamecocks softball team is elite. I’m calling a World Series win right now.

The @AP just filed a lawsuit against Trump officials in what will be the easiest lawsuit victory in modern times for unconstitutionally blocking a news outlet from government access based on a news outlet’s editorial decision. This will be an easy win. shorturl.at/KMS6h

This will be in journalism history books. Hopefully, the irony won’t get lost. The White House was trying to look extra AMERICAN with the “Gulf of America” name — but then did the most un-American thing: violating the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

It’s un-American to bar the AP from accessing Trump events because the outlet isn’t using language preferred by the White House. That’s now how journalism works in America. This is Big Government at its worst and anti-democracy. @AP @realDonaldTrump apnews.com/article/trump-ap-…

This is not an argument for calling it the “Gulf of Mexico” or the “Gulf of America.” This is an argument against North Korean-style governance in which news organizations are denied access to government officials or taxpayer property for declining to be government puppets.

THIS is actually Un-American: The White House said … news organizations that refuse to use President Donald Trump’s new name for the Gulf of Mexico were telling “lies” and insisted it would continue to bar (AP) journalists from presidential events. shorturl.at/Wo3O9

Two journalists let the White House provide interview questions for President Biden. It's humiliating and undemocratic for Biden's team to pull that. And it's pathetic that two "journalists” did it. This is a humiliating moment in journalism history. cnn.com/2024/07/07/media/bid…

If you or anyone you know drinks stuff sometimes … you have to read this story. It’s a remarkable investigative journalism project by a wildly talented student-journalist who I worked with at the University of South Carolina. There are things on shelves you must know about.
Many say it's about availability. "The dope man doesn't take credit cards, and they do." carolinanewsandreporter.cic.…

Look at how much debt the U.S. government accumulated in 20 years. Crisis-level inflation should surprise no one. But it is surprising how little society has focused on government spending. Much of that falls on some journalists’ shoulders. I hope all of us see that now.

When a candidate speaks of plans to “reform the media,” journalists must ask pointed questions about what that means and what authority government has to reform media. This is not a criticism or endorsement, but a clear statement: This deserves serious follow-up questions.
Kari Lake to reporter: "I’m going to do two terms. I’m going to be your worst frickin' nightmare for eight years, and we will reform the media as well. We are going to make you guys into journalists again. So, get ready. It’s going to be a fun eight years."

I’m so proud of my wife for breaking this incredible story about a lawsuit against @LibertyU, in which the plaintiffs claim Liberty enabled rapes and punished victims. Horrific beyond words. Fantastic journalism by @CynthiaABC13. #liberty #LibertyUniversity #TitleIX
I’ve been investigating claims by women who say #LibertyUniversity mishandled their sexual assault #TitleIX investigations. 12 women filed a lawsuit this morning. Read the full story here.

Writing about the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, autocorrect keeps changing bill to “bull.” That’s very disrespectful of my phone. I’m sure Congress carefully spent every dollar. #coronavirus #COVID19 #stimulus #AmericanRescuePlan

I keep trying to tell people that Brady is still the king. When someone wins 8 Super Bowls to surpass him, that person can be the new king.
