the dissonance between what i'm seeing on twitter and what the significant majority of americans are seeing and being told on cable news is infuriating. i don't really know what truly lefty world we'll ever build with such a corporate stranglehold on media

@davidaxelrod trying to smash the square peg of reality into the round hole of your idiot world view...just keep smashing buddy!
@davidaxelrod you really don't get it, do you? you seriously believe all those polls are wrong, don't you? dude. lmao. you guys still have time to fix this
@davidaxelrod All of them, according to the students on the ground of @WKCRFM. Maybe you should listen to them as they are doing the best job tonight
@davidaxelrod Delete this tweet. It's embarrassing and anti-Democratic. The CU campus has been locked down to everyone but students and faculty for at least two weeks.
I think this is also a good example of the benefits of getting people from a certain community or group (in this case students at Columbia) to cover that community or group.
WKCR on the key role of student journalists: "These are our peers, these are the people we go to class with. [...] We have the access to campus to provide non-stop coverage, to provide accurate voicing of what exactly is going on."
gonna be crazy* to see public opinion of a certain flavor tonight swing in a few days or weeks when Jelani Cobb, Dean of Columbia J-School, writes what he experienced on his day job, The New Yorker Magazine *maddening
They threatened to arrest the dean of the school of journalism that hosts the PULITZER prizes & student journalists if they left PULITZER HALL to report on their own campus. Carry on, I guess? Maybe complain more about the students? The adults in charge of this can be ignored.
A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.
The entire world should be shocked by the level of violence that a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President are willing to use to stop students from criticizing America’s support for Israel.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
WCKR cooking anderson cooper right now. i mean literally roasting him for reporting rumors
Student journalists @WKCRFM are fact checking @andersoncooper claims that people occupying Columbia’s Hamilton Hall are not students. They say that narrative comes from school administrators and is misleading. (Likely a common refrain at universities everywhere.)
WKCR reporter in the station named Teddy shouting out another reporter named Ted out in the field: "man I love you so much...“There’s nothing like the Ted to Ted connection” 😭
Just found out my student was arrested. A sweet, smart young man. They’re targeting Black guys disproportionately
@AriFleischer how many people have these protests killed, Ari
A woman died, Ari. Her name was Heather Heyer, and she was murdered in front of our eyes. Many more of us were injured, physically and mentally. Those scars remain. It is still not over for us. Minimizing the horror of A12 in service of a genocide is utterly unspeakable.
The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was reprehensible. But it ended in two days. What’s happening now on college campuses is worse. It’s been happening for weeks with no end in sight. It’s based on hatred toward Jews and America. Where is Biden? Biden the hypocrite…
I'm not even going to bother to respond in detail to the hornet's nest in my replies, but look: I've voted the straight Democratic ticket my entire life. I've *never* missed a major election. And I wrote an entire goddamn book about the fascist tradition in American conservatism
I think it’s also really easy in this industry to discount younger journalists for their lack of experience but I hope tonight really highlights just how mistaken that assumption is. the student journalists at columbia and across the country should be so so proud of their work
according to WKCR the NYPD threatened to arrest @jelani9 -- the dean of the journalism school -- if he left the j-school building.
Sen Tom COTTON is also preparing a messaging bill that would block anti-Israel protestors from student loan forgiveness
don't fall for these shifting goalposts. as soon as arrest records confirm that most arrestees are students, the discourse will shift to why those students deserved to be arrested
It will be interesting to learn how many of those arrested in Hamilton Hall at Columbia are actually students.
