— Meet Kyle Frese: Trump Hater, Federal Employee, Arrested for Leaking National Security Secrets – J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS
https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/meet-kyle-frese-trump-hater-federal-employee-arrested-for-leaking-national-security-secrets/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frese went to college and graduate school in Canada. His posts routinely cover national security and foreign affairs issues. They are also vehemently hostile to Donald Trump and his foreign policy. . .Frese traveled quite a bit. Every month or two, he could be found hiking Kilimanjaro or sipping beer in an Eastern European capital, visiting London or the low countries, Morocco, Berlin, Australia, all in the space of a year or two. It was quite a travel experience for a lowly federal employee. Perhaps it was work-related, all those different destinations. Excessive foreign travel can be a marker for a national security risk. Frese would occasionally quibble with “irresponsible” stories about national security matters. He had the audacity to complain about “unnamed armaments experts providing commentary.” He also had a beef with Senator Marco Rubio citing Psalms. Frese is most likely being held, for now, in the Alexandria City Jail in Virginia. If he is convicted, he can expect to be living in a federal prison. Nobody should consider his hostility toward President Trump an outlier in the federal civil service. Whether it is a whistleblower wound up about Ukraine or the FBI lovebirds, the civil service still cannot cope with the 2016 election results.)

NEWS BUSTERS
— Not Again! Facebook to Launch Human-Curated News – Alexander Hall (DIERSEN: As your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I have been a conservative “human-curator” of Illinois political and government news since 2000. Of course, anti-conservatives continue to focus on stopping me from doing that. They especially focus on stopping Republicans in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. If you were me, what would you do increase readership of GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails?) 
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/techwatch/alexander-hall/2019/10/25/not-again-facebook-launch-human-curated-news
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook is launching a “News” tab today, which will provide stories from hundreds of news organizations. This is the second time the social media site tried to decide what is news for its users. The first time exploded under allegations of bias against the right. “Facebook’s service will include some human curation by a small editorial team of journalists, who will select top stories” according to The Washington Post. Much like asking “who fact-checks the fact-checkers,” the question of “who curates the curators” will likely be on conservatives’ minds. After all, based on Facebook’s troubled history with truth, conservatives would be right to be concerned about their commitment to free expression. Facebook previously purged its disgraced Trending topics section after not only being accused of bias, but having its very own workers blow the whistle on its agenda-setting. “[A]ccording to a former journalist who worked on the project,” Gizmodo summarized, “… workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and other conservative topics from appearing in the highly-influential section, even though they were organically trending among the site’s users.” Anne Kornblut, The Post’s former deputy national editor, “is overseeing the team of journalists who will chose [sic] top stories for the ‘News’ tab, according to people familiar with planning for the service,” reported The Post. The participating news organizations whose content will be curated includes “about 200 news organizations, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, News Corp, BuzzFeed News, Business Insider, Bloomberg, Fox News, NBCUniversal, USA Today and The Los Angeles Times. Some of those outlets will be paid for their content, including The Post” The Post noted in an article it published today. If that wasn’t damning enough, many of Facebook’s “news curators” told Gizmodo that they were instructed to “inject” specific stories into the Trending news section. The former curators also claimed that Facebook, in the spirit of self-preservation, discouraged them from including news about Facebook itself. Facebook executives told Axios a few months ago that they would be “hiring seasoned journalists to help curate a forthcoming ‘News Tab’ that they hope will change how millions get news.” Facebook’s mission, as Axios described, is “to restore the sanity and credibility that’s lost in the chaos of our main feeds.” Facebook’s head of news partnerships Campbell Brown, a former news anchor at NBC and CNN, said that algorithms will also be involved. “Our goal with the News tab is to provide a personalized, highly relevant experience … ,” said Brown. “The majority of stories people will see will appear in the tab via algorithmic selection.” For what it’s worth, Zuckerberg has tried to reassure conservatives they will at least attempt to avoid bias. “‘We are monitoring for any kind of bias, both amongst our team and in the product itself,’ Zuckerberg said,” according to Axios’ reporting. “‘Making sure that this ends up being a platform for all different perspectives is obviously going to be very important for this succeeding over the long term.’” Conservatives wary of “diversity” politics may have their hackles raised by the other comments made by Zuckerberg in the same article, however. Facebook claimed to have hired journalists with “real experience” who are a “diverse group who have different backgrounds and views and different nationalities.” News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch explained the rationale in a Jan. 2018 press release, saying, “If Facebook wants to recognize ‘trusted’ publishers then it should pay those publishers a carriage fee similar to the model adopted by cable companies.” He added further that these payments “would have a minor impact on Facebook’s profits but a major impact on the prospects for publishers and journalists.” The news industry seems to approve, and this is yet another step toward their “long-sought goal of having technology companies pay for the content they deliver to users.” This service will also pitFacebook against other “news aggregation services offered by Silicon Valley rivals Google and Apple.” “Facebook will pay publishers for work they already make and then share to the platform, which means it is pure profit,” Vox/Recode summarized about the “News” tab. CNN reporter Oliver Darcy tweeted that Zuckerberg defended “having far-right website Breitbart in its news tab” quoting the Facebook CEO as saying “I think you want to have content that represents different perspectives.” When asked about Breitbart being among the other websites in the news tab Darcy observed how Zuckerberg expressed that all outlets will have to comply with Facebook’s standards.)

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— Save — and expand — newspaper subscriptions: How federal employees should respond to Donald Trump’s war on the Washington Post and New York Times – DAVID J. VERARDO (DIERSEN: Those who are Christian, conservative, and/or Republican should keep up to date with what those who are anti-Christian, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican are saying. That is why I pay many thousands of dollars each year for home delivery and website access for anti-Christian, anti-conservative, and/or anti- Republican publications. It is called opposition research.) 
https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-subscriptions-20191026-7jbcgvcxcze7bhmrgbsn27rkde-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump’s order to all federal agencies to cancel their subscriptions to the Washington Post and New York Times is peevish, wrongheaded, and dangerous. These two papers, as well as numerous others, provide a lifeline to the federal workforce and the American public regarding information and knowledge about our country and the wider world. A civilization without a free and accessible press is not civilized at all. Instead of canceling subscriptions, federal agencies would be better served by holding their Post and Times subscriptions and expanding their subscriptions to other media. Federal employees themselves should subscribe to the Post and Times and the media of their choice to ensure the free flow of information. I subscribe to both publications, and here is why. Many times my day begins with someone asking me “Did you see the story in today’s Washington Post…” or “Did you see the New York Times coverage of …” As a scientist, I rely on news coverage of science, technology, engineering and math in the Post and Times to alert me to new findings and innovations outside my expertise that I can further investigate in detail through the scientific literature. As a public servant, I need the Post and Times to help fill me in on innovations in the federal workforce that come directly from practitioners. As a private citizen, I rely on the Post and Times for differing perspectives on issues affecting my daily life. I need to understand trends in medicine, law, finance, politics and the environment so that I can make informed choices. I want journalists to investigate and ask hard questions, get to the bottom of things, challenge the prevailing wisdom, and help me discover my biases. I depend on them to do their job while I am busy doing mine. Since our country’s founding, politicians have had a love-hate relationship with the press. They love coverage that supports their views and hate coverage that challenges their views, actions or inaction. As a voter, I need coverage from all angles. That approach scares some politicians into seeking to control and muzzle the press. History shows that the American public is best served by a free and open press whose acceptance and credibility by the public is determined by the free market, not political fiat. The press is accountable to its readers because the readers make the final judgment on who or what is believable. The press is not the enemy of the people just because you don’t agree with them. The enemy of the people are demagogues who manipulate the truth for personal gain. Using power granted to you temporarily by the American people, to cancel government-wide subscriptions to publications that do not constantly heap praise on you, is the “perfect” example of demagoguery, Mr. President. We need you to “be best.”)
