on SO many platforms! 
Incredible! We did it! Keep going 
!!!
Addendum: Lest you dismiss what I'm trying to tell you as just random thoughts from a random old man - THIS IS WHAT I USED TO DO FOR A LIVING. I did NOT wait for #journalists to call me. If I knew there was a story brewing I needed to get in on, or if I wanted to CREATE a story, I picked up the phone and made the calls and said, "hey, I've got a few things to say," and know what? Next edition, what I had to say was there (some, of it anyway!). It's not a secret. Reporters NEED sources. Be one.

#Journalists are welcome, but no cabinet members permitted.
I have never, ever, seen as many politicians in charge, being so rude and disrespectful towards #journalists in a #democracy than on the #US nowadays

> “The judicial pressure systematically brought to bear on local #journalists for a long time is now being brought to bear on their foreign colleagues,” he told AFP.
> Turkish authorities held #BBC journalist Mark Lowen for 17 hours on Wednesday before deporting him for posing “a threat to public order”, the broadcaster said.
Turkish officials said it was due to “a lack of accreditation.”
This should be easy to understand, but apparently it's not, so - Real #journalists are going to piss you off sometimes (not every time, tho). If your go-to #journalist just does a better job of saying what you already believe? They're not what you think they are.
Real journalists quote real people they've really interviewed. They cite sources, provide links, don't make the story a validation of their own beliefs. I'm not a journalist. My father was a journalist. But he'd be as pissed as I am.

On October 9, 2024, Fadi Al-Wahidi was reporting alongside a crew of #journalists from Al Jazeera, Al Araby TV, and others, in the Al Saftawi area near #jabalia, when what they claim was an “Israeli quadcopter” initiated a chase that ended with Al-Wahidi being shot in the neck. Forbidden Stories and its partners reconstructed the event that has paralyzed both of his legs.

#MarjorieTaylorGreene yells at #SkyNews UK reporter tells her to go back to her country & refuses to take questions from #journalists who aren’t “American”
Since 2017, a former captain in Israel's army has reached out to Dimitri Lascaris on dozens of occasions, often asking Lascaris for face-to-face meetings and probing him on his pro #palestine activities.
In that time, the former ISR officer, who now lives in Ottawa, #canada, worked hard to establish a rapport with Lascaris, and to use that rapport to acquire information.
A Turkish court on Thursday freed seven #journalists detained for covering mass protests roiling the country including AFP photographer Yasin Akgul, his lawyer said.
Meanwhile police broke up an anti-government protest at an #ankara protest early Thursday, potentially reigniting tensions after the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
