Harris-Walz campaign uses anti-democratic tactics against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in the name of saving democracy
In Philadelphia on Aug. 6, an enormous crowd of supporters exulted in the announcement of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate for the White House. But at the same time, another much quieter drama unfolded: A reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the second-largest news organization in the most important battleground state, was being denied access to the venue. ...
The Harris-Walz campaign continues to take measures to exclude Post-Gazette reporters and photographers from its events due to an ongoing, and very unusual, labor action at the newspaper. The journalists’ strike is unusual because it has gone on so long — nearly two years, making it the longest ongoing strike in America — but also because it has only ever attracted the support of a small minority of the bargaining unit. ... the more anti-democratic tactics we tolerate in the name of saving democracy, the less democracy there will be left to save.

Jonathan Turley: Zuckerberg fought for years to conceal his cooperation with government censorship until the Republican House Judiciary Committee forced his hand
Zuckerberg is just another, you guessed it . . .
Zuckerberg's sudden regret only came after his company fought for years to conceal the evidence of its work with the government to censor opposing views. Zuckerberg was finally compelled to release the documents by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and the House Judiciary Committee.
Now forced to admit what many of us have long alleged, Zuckerman is really, really sorry.
