The Macy’s parade coverage just misgendered #Bluey like 12 times.

I am a high school English teacher and union member who wants to see our collective power used to uplift teachers, students, and communities. I am also here to discuss books, television, and film. Stories bring us together.
Apparently this was just the CBS coverage.
I declare Brasso the MVP of the Andor finale. I’m not suggesting that he outperformed that one monumental speech (he did not), but he landed the most beautiful line of dialogue and made the most new progress into our hearts.
I think we can all agree that the Star Wars universe has a new top villain. You know who I mean. You know what he did.

"Mainstream journalists, who are endlessly harangued for their alleged liberal bias, jump at opportunities to strut their evenhandedness, even when it backfires on them." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/22/midterms-mainstream-media-stand-by-red-wave/
That's from the Washington Post's media columnist, Erik Wemple:
What Wemple describes is a major factor. I've been writing about it for years. It helps explain yesterday's staggering "they both lie" tweet from Ashley Parker comparing Biden's mendacity to Trump's.
Isn’t it wild that so many high-paying jobs are really just hustles - empty cycles of stealing credit and evading responsibility?
TamDid you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

“I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee. I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that.”

I never properly introduced myself when I joined Oct. 29.
I have been teaching #journalism at NYU since 1986. I have a PhD in media studies. My masters thesis was on McLuhan. My PhD thesis was about the concept of "the public."
I write a lot about press coverage of politics, and try to puzzle out what journalists as a group are thinking, which is why my site is called pressthink.org
I've been online since 1996. Been blogging since 2003. On Twitter since 2008.
Thanks for making Mastodon.
