Last night's debate started out with a pretty solid discussion of immigration. It almost seemed like we'd have a substantive 90 minutes and, well, we can't have that, can we? Especially since debates are an intrinsically visual affair, and broadcast journalism is good for a lot of things, but nuance is not among them.
North Korea hopes that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will win the race for the White House over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, a US broadcaster reported Wednesday, citing a Japanese journalist who has made a visit to the North. Keisuke Fukuda, an editor at Japan's Toyo Keizai magazine specializing in Korean affairs, said in an interview with the Voice of America, "People at the North Korean government and public institutions show an interest in the US presidential election and appears to wait for its outcome cautiously."
No, intrepid journalists, the recent information about a disagreement between State and the FBI about classification is not new information. The latest batch of Hillary Clinton emails offered fresh insight into her schmoozing ways, her thoughts on the 2012 presidential race, and some sideline drama as the State Department and a watchdog for the intelligence community tangled on Monday over whether one of Clinton's emails should have been considered classified.
New York, Oct 14 : The Committee to Protect Journalists has declared Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a threat to press freedoms.

"Donald Trump, through his words and actions as a candidate for president of the United States, has consistently betrayed First Amendment values." The nonprofit organization advocates for the rights of journalists all around the world.
Many of us in the media have spent the last several months ritually abasing ourselves for our role in empowering Donald Trump's rise, and not without reason. As I have previously observed, there's an element of hypocrisy at work here, or maybe several different elements.

Monday night's verbal smackdown between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is a hot ticket on the campus of Hofstra University. About 7,500 students, or more than two-thirds of the student body, entered the lottery for only a few hundred tickets to witness the cycle's first presidential debate, being held Monday night in a campus basketball arena.
At ambitious institutions around the country, the road to a higher national profile typically runs through the gridiron or a basketball court. Hofstra has taken a different route.
Our hope was to catch rats in various iconic locations around New York-a park, a subway station, midtown-and fit them with tracking collars that could capture the rhythms of city life from the rats' perspective. We dreamed of eventually giving them tiny GoPros and microphones, of visualizing days lived near the third rail or under the watch of a red-tailed hawk.
Another journalist --the second one in two days -- came out Saturday to confess that Sid Blumenthal aggressively shopped the rumor to him in 2008 about then-Senator Barack Obama being born in Kenya. In "Confessions of a Hillary Insider," Larry Johnson of No Quarter said that he is "shocked at the audacity of Hillary Clinton to decry Donald Trump as a birther because her campaign not only pushed that item in a bid to discredit Barack Obama, but mounted a sustained campaign attack Obama on a broad array of issues."
A Maryland historian is a step closer in his fight for the release of decades-old grand jury testimony involving a story the Chicago Tribune published during the World War II Battle of Midway, the newspaper reported. The story, published June 7, 1942, said the U.S. Navy obtained advance knowledge of the Japanese fleet's plans.
Hillary Clinton is "healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States," according to a letter written by her longtime physician and released on Wednesday. Despite the avalanche of rumors about Clinton's health - created by conspiracists with internet platforms and given credence by the likes of Drudge Report and Fox News - her doctor says the candidate has not had a dire health issue during this campaign season.
Hillary Clinton's fainting episode at a 9/11 memorial Sunday morning was preceded by months of Matt Drudge, the proprietor of the Drudge Report, claiming that Hillary's health is worse than she lets on to the public. Video of the incident shows Clinton going limp before being carried into a van by Secret Service agents.
Traffic cop or truth detector? The rough reception given Matt Lauer for his back-to-back interviews with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump laid bare a disagreement over whether journalists who moderate presidential debates should call candidates out for telling lies. Online critics hit Lauer for spending too much time on Clinton's email server and trying to cut her answers short during Wednesday's NBC forum on national security issues.
Lauer's handling of the NBC News "Commander-In-Chief Forum" with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Wednesday night was widely panned by journalists and pundits. The "Today" show co-host was criticized for spending too much time on Clinton's emails, lobbing softball questions to Trump, and neglecting to fact-check the Republican nominee when he falsely claimed to have opposed the Iraq War in 2002.
But canvas bags might actually be worse for the environment than the plastic ones they are meant to replace. In 2008, the UK Environment Agency published a study of resource expenditures for various bags: paper, plastic, canvas, and recycled-polypropylene tote bags.
The daughter of late, Hungarian-born U.S. Congressman Tom Lantos is returning a distinguished state award to Hungary to protest the bestowing of the same award to journalist and writer Zsolt Bayer who has made anti-Semitic and racist references in his articles. Katrina Lantos Swett, who received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit in 2009, joined over 100 other recipients in returning their awards.
Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, which is frightening.We must make sure his hateful rhetoric does not even come close... Donald Trump has gone too far with his attacks on Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son Army Capt. Humayun Khan... A Donald Trump White House would be a disaster, and this goes way beyond any ideological difference.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest wrote a letter to The New York Times criticizing it for failing to acknowledge what he called "the important and unprecedented steps that the Obama administration has taken to fulfill the president's promise to lead the most transparent White House in history."
