Mastodawn

While #NPR and #PBS have quit #Twitter (without mentioning #Mastodon however), Germany's biggest public broadcaster #ARD and #ZDF are not only already testing their own instances for quite a while (https://dev.ard.social/public/local & https://zdf.social/public/local): The first proper account is now live and posts news articles from northern Germany – @NDR

Let's see, if NPR and PBS find their way here. Oh and where is the #BBC?

Come on Elon gave the reporter just 20 minutes notice. No time to research and prepare. Checkout Frost/Nixon on what preparation is really needed. .

Decision was to go ahead or not. No reporter is going to pass up that opportunity. Frankly the lack of aggression allowed us to see Elon as he wants to be seen. The victim of his own decisions sucking any empathy for others.

He can't blame that outcome on the reporter.
