Barbara Boxer said the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is facing a “judicial emergency\" as she called for a Senate vote Tuesday on San Jose-based U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh’s nomination to the appellate court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the new year rears its head, the 9th Circuit is facing a four-seat vacancy: Two are currently empty and two will become vacant when other judges assume senior status at the end of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why are four vacancies on a court of 29 active judges an emergency? U.S. courts designate vacancies on the 9th Circuit as emergencies and critical to fill as soon as possible due to the court's huge caseload, according to University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/299996535\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 9th Circuit receives about 10,000 to 12,000 cases a year and decides on roughly 6,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court, which has a liberal-leaning reputation, covers nine states from red Arizona, Idaho and Alaska to the blue states of Washington, Hawaii and California, as well as Montana, Oregon and Nevada. With time running out to confirm Judge Lucy Koh and the other vacancies unfilled, it’s increasingly likely President-elect Donald Trump will be able to reshape the influential court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobias emphasized the importance of the 9th Circuit, saying it’s the largest in the nation by far, and it therefore has an outsized influence. It takes up cutting-edge cases, many of which arise from California, but also from the other states. But, Tobias noted, the Supreme Court reverses the court at a fairly high rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as how President-elect Trump may influence the court, Tobias says: “I think even in the Obama years the court has moved to be more moderate than it used to be, so I think that with those four appointments it could make some difference and move the court further in that direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobias said Obama could make a recess appointment of Judge Koh, but he doesn’t think that is likely to happen. It looks like the 9th Circuit, based in the Golden State, is going to get the Trump Golden Stamp.\u003c/p>\n\n",

U.S. courts designate vacancies on the 9th Circuit as emergencies and critical to fill as soon as possible due to the court's huge caseload, according to University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/299996535&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/299996535'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 9th Circuit receives about 10,000 to 12,000 cases a year and decides on roughly 6,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With time running out to confirm Judge Lucy Koh and the other vacancies unfilled, it’s increasingly likely President-elect Donald Trump will be able to reshape the influential court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobias emphasized the importance of the 9th Circuit, saying it’s the largest in the nation by far, and it therefore has an outsized influence. It takes up cutting-edge cases, many of which arise from California, but also from the other states. But, Tobias noted, the Supreme Court reverses the court at a fairly high rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as how President-elect Trump may influence the court, Tobias says: “I think even in the Obama years the court has moved to be more moderate than it used to be, so I think that with those four appointments it could make some difference and move the court further in that direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobias said Obama could make a recess appointment of Judge Koh, but he doesn’t think that is likely to happen.

As Madigan’s team flew the drone, an Oakland Fire representative viewed color-coded images on the screen and directed ladder crews where to concentrate their water from overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland warehouse fire moved very rapidly through the building, putting firefighters on the defensive despite an estimated three-minute response time. Calvert says fast-moving fires have become the norm, in large part because of the plastic and other synthetic materials inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fuels inside of buildings are different than they used to be 30-40 years ago, when they were cottons and wood fibers and you know, all the natural materials,” explains Calvert. “Now it’s petroleum. It’s like gasoline. The fires burn a lot faster now.\u003cbr>\nSo we’ve lost a bit of time, you know, in our battle against time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rapid Deployment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drones could help offset that. Calvert and other experts interviewed for this story say it won’t be long — perhaps a couple of years — before video and thermal camera-equipped drones will automatically take off from fire stations as soon as alarms come in, racing ahead of the engines and paramedics to send back initial data that could save time and lives. Drones could virtually eliminate the ground-level “360,” a time-consuming site evaluation that responders currently do as they arrive on scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1236321\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1236321\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211.jpg\" alt=\"Drones may soon launch automatically as fire equipment rolls out from the station, allowing firefighters to assess the scene before they arrive.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drones may soon launch automatically as fire equipment rolls out from the station, allowing firefighters to assess the incident scene before they arrive. \u003ccite>(Craig Miller/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Before we even get there, we can get very good information about this incident,” says Calvert, “and that helps drive where we put people and what we have them do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvert calls thermal imaging and drones two of the four great breakthroughs in modern firefighting, right up there with breathing apparatus and radios.

As Madigan’s team flew the drone, an Oakland Fire representative viewed color-coded images on the screen and directed ladder crews where to concentrate their water from overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland warehouse fire moved very rapidly through the building, putting firefighters on the defensive despite an estimated three-minute response time. Calvert says fast-moving fires have become the norm, in large part because of the plastic and other synthetic materials inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fuels inside of buildings are different than they used to be 30-40 years ago, when they were cottons and wood fibers and you know, all the natural materials,” explains Calvert. “Now it’s petroleum. It’s like gasoline. The fires burn a lot faster now.\u003cbr>\nSo we’ve lost a bit of time, you know, in our battle against time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rapid Deployment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drones could help offset that. Calvert and other experts interviewed for this story say it won’t be long — perhaps a couple of years — before video and thermal camera-equipped drones will automatically take off from fire stations as soon as alarms come in, racing ahead of the engines and paramedics to send back initial data that could save time and lives. Drones could virtually eliminate the ground-level “360,” a time-consuming site evaluation that responders currently do as they arrive on scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1236321\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1236321\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211.jpg\" alt=\"Drones may soon launch automatically as fire equipment rolls out from the station, allowing firefighters to assess the scene before they arrive.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/12/IMG_6211-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drones may soon launch automatically as fire equipment rolls out from the station, allowing firefighters to assess the incident scene before they arrive. \u003ccite>(Craig Miller/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Before we even get there, we can get very good information about this incident,” says Calvert, “and that helps drive where we put people and what we have them do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvert calls thermal imaging and drones two of the four great breakthroughs in modern firefighting, right up there with breathing apparatus and radios.

"content": "\u003cp>Amazon’s personal assistant device called Echo was one of the most popular gifts this Christmas. But this week, the device grabbed headlines for another reason: Police in Arkansas are trying to use its data in a murder investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we know from \u003ca href=\"https://contexte.aoc.arkansas.gov/imaging/IMAGES/DMS/CK_Image.Present2?DMS_ID=e7db0da1-0abf-4f18-88d3-4ccb7e39e4cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court documents\u003c/a> is that in November 2015, a man in Arkansas had some friends over at his house to watch a football game. In the morning, one of the friends was found dead in a hot tub in the backyard. Police later charged the man who lived in the house, James Bates, with murder. He has pleaded not guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the police were investigating the crime, they found a number of digital devices in the suspect’s house, including an Amazon Echo device that was in the kitchen. They have since seized the device and have apparently gotten some information from it, but what they want to check is what — if anything — the device may have recorded around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the device works: Echo is always listening for the wake, or trigger, word, which is usually “Alexa.” But experts say the storage capacity on the actual device is pretty minimal, so only a tiny amount is written and then overwritten as the device listens for the wake word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the wake word is said — and the blue light ring lights up — all the spoken queries get recorded and transmitted to Amazon servers. “To be clear, Echo is only streaming audio to the cloud when the blue light is on,” says Amazon spokeswoman Kinley Pearsall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a number of Echo users have reported \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/cover_story/2016/04/alexa_cortana_and_siri_aren_t_novelties_anymore_they_re_our_terrifyingly.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a creepy experience\u003c/a> of the device turning on and starting to talk without being prompted by the wake word “Alexa” — perhaps mishearing or misinterpreting conversations in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in the Arkansas murder case, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.theinformation.com/amazon-echo-and-the-hot-tub-murder?shared=ec3cb4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first reported\u003c/a> by tech industry news site \u003cem>The Information\u003c/em>, the police may be counting on such an accidental recording or something more. They served a search warrant to Amazon for data covering two days around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon has satisfied a portion of the request. According to court documents, the company has provided “account holder information for James Bates and purchase history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Amazon declined to share information from its servers. The company has not commented on the specific case, but issued a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Amazon will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us.

But this week, the device grabbed headlines for another reason: Police in Arkansas are trying to use its data in a murder investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we know from \u003ca href=\"https://contexte.aoc.arkansas.gov/imaging/IMAGES/DMS/CK_Image.Present2?DMS_ID=e7db0da1-0abf-4f18-88d3-4ccb7e39e4cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court documents\u003c/a> is that in November 2015, a man in Arkansas had some friends over at his house to watch a football game. In the morning, one of the friends was found dead in a hot tub in the backyard. Police later charged the man who lived in the house, James Bates, with murder. He has pleaded not guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the police were investigating the crime, they found a number of digital devices in the suspect’s house, including an Amazon Echo device that was in the kitchen. They have since seized the device and have apparently gotten some information from it, but what they want to check is what — if anything — the device may have recorded around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the device works: Echo is always listening for the wake, or trigger, word, which is usually “Alexa.” But experts say the storage capacity on the actual device is pretty minimal, so only a tiny amount is written and then overwritten as the device listens for the wake word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the wake word is said — and the blue light ring lights up — all the spoken queries get recorded and transmitted to Amazon servers. “To be clear, Echo is only streaming audio to the cloud when the blue light is on,” says Amazon spokeswoman Kinley Pearsall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We don’t have the same assumptions about how middle-class men treat women. We know that workplace harassment is commonplace in the tech industry and the oil and gas industry,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kilanski lived in an oil boomtown for her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s all these discourses about how putting a lot men together creates a lot of fights,” says Kilanski. “And there were a lot of fights in the bars. But I also saw men shopping in packs to get their groceries. They were living very much in family formations away from their homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because San Jose’s single male population is largely employed and high-earning, it doesn’t receive the same kind of criticism as impoverished areas of China or oil boomtowns. Sometimes the gender disparity in San Jose is even viewed positively.

We don’t have the same assumptions about how middle-class men treat women. We know that workplace harassment is commonplace in the tech industry and the oil and gas industry,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kilanski lived in an oil boomtown for her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s all these discourses about how putting a lot men together creates a lot of fights,” says Kilanski. “And there were a lot of fights in the bars. But I also saw men shopping in packs to get their groceries. They were living very much in family formations away from their homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because San Jose’s single male population is largely employed and high-earning, it doesn’t receive the same kind of criticism as impoverished areas of China or oil boomtowns. Sometimes the gender disparity in San Jose is even viewed positively.

Larry’s been bartending there for almost 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When [gay guys] are out, they’re in San Francisco and not here. I don’t know why it’s like that.

There was some sort of \"process upset\" at 7 p.m., according to a report the company filed with the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron's Casey said Thursday morning that company officials and air district representatives were meeting to \"understand if there is a connection to the source of the odor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after the new refinery incident, PG&E received another round of odor complaints in San Francisco. More than a dozen people around the city called the utility between 11 p.m. Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday, according to PG&E spokesman J.D. Guidi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city's Fire Department responded to seven calls overnight, according to that agency's spokesman, Jonathan Baxter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air district is investigating Chevron's second flaring incident, according to agency spokesman Ralph Borrmann.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are investigating all possible angles. No conclusions have been reached yet,\" Borrmann wrote in an email when asked if there might be ties to another round of smell complaints in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday the district revealed that it received \"rotten egg\" complaints in Richmond as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is also looking into other potential sources that include ships, area landfills and wastewater treatment facilities, agency officials said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, preliminary data gathered from Chevron's fence line ground-level and nearby air quality monitors showed that sulfur was released during Chevron's first flaring incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another odor culprit could be the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill, said Randy Sawyer, the county's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There have been odor complaints the last few months coming from the landfill,\" Sawyer said in an email. \"They have material that is composting and has turned anaerobic. This becomes very odorous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County's environmental health department is working with the landfill to get the problem under control, Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And it's not just because so-called fake news has become a genuine issue, prompting Facebook and other social media outlets to address fraudulent items formatted to look like legitimate news reports — a long-needed change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's because a number of disturbing trends eating away at the effectiveness of modern news media came to a head in this year's election. And — in a response that seems strikingly similar to how news outlets struggled with early disruption from the internet — mainstream news outlets still don't appear to be responding very effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year, I pull together a list of moments that most affected media over the previous 12 months, looking at events like the rise of viral videos capturing police shootings or the staggering fall of NBC News anchor Brian Williams. This year, there's a single moment with many implications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election of Donald Trump as president is my top media moment in 2016, of course. And the list of reasons why his campaign and victory matter for media also highlight the challenges at the very core of how journalism operates in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #1: Trust.\u003c/strong> This was a year in which tough reporting by mainstream news outlets often seemed to have limited impact on the opinions of voters. And I don't think it's a coincidence that's it's also the year in which mainstream news outlets had their worst polling on trust in modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallup revealed in September that \u003ca href=\"http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx\">trust in news media had sunk to its lowest levels in their history of polling on this question\u003c/a>. Just 32 percent of those polled said they had a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the news media \"to report the news accurately and fairly.\" That's down from 40 percent last year, 50 percent in 2005 and 72 percent in 1976, when investigative journalism was still on a pedestal following the Watergate scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bad as those numbers are, they are worse among those who identify as Republicans. The September Gallup report found just 14 percent of Republicans polled expressed trust in media, down from 32 percent last year. \"This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This polling ties into an analysis the Pew Research Center presented in 2014, which suggests \u003ca href=\"http://www.journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/\">people who identify as consistent conservatives consume news differently from those who say they're consistent liberals\u003c/a>. Consistent conservatives tended to cluster news consumption around one news source they trusted, with 47 percent of those polled citing Fox News Channel as their main source of news for government and politics. Consistent liberals were more likely to get their news from an array of trusted sources, including CNN (15 percent), the New York Times (10 percent) and NPR (13 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small wonder that political conservatives have built an alternative media structure focused on news and information that speak more directly to the priorities, values and fears of their group. That structure includes TV outlets like Fox News, online outlets like Breitbart.com, Alex Jones' Infowars and The Daily Caller, radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt, and authors like Ann Coulter. Liberal-friendly media outlets such as MSNBC and the Huffington Post also speak to liberal values, but I believe the news consumption patterns cited by Pew show that those audiences also consume news sources outside that circle regularly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means, as mainstream news outlets tried to break tough stories on Trump and Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton, they faced a news audience that included a significant number of people who distrusted their reporting. Some were consuming news on platforms that elevated that mistrust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's telling that the stories that seemed to hurt Trump the most during the campaign were stories largely based on an unfiltered presentation of what he said. In particular, video leaked from an old \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> tape -- featuring Trump talking crudely off camera about making sexual advances toward women -- made a tremendous impact, in part because it was his words presented to the audience without much analysis required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #2: Bias and Credibility.\u003c/strong> Critics have accused some mainstream media outlets of political bias favoring liberals, but I think the biases that most affect mainstream journalism are different. They include a bias toward being the first to report a story, particularly if it has a big public impact; a bias toward ratings and revenue; a bias toward celebrity, conflict and scandal. Any of these biases can cause big problems if left unchecked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attraction to conflict and desire to reach a divided audience brought some head-scratching decisions. CNN's decision to hire Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, even when it wasn't clear if he was still on the candidate's payroll or significantly involved with his campaign, was disappointing. The frequency of political arguments between partisans filling up time that could have been used for reporting on policy issues, particularly on cable TV, was also a mistake. Emails released by Wikileaks, showing that Democratic party official Donna Brazile may have funneled advance information about questions from CNN's events to Clinton's campaign, showed the dangers inherent in hiring people who are active players in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has hurt mainstream media particularly is a mistrust that it can provide honest brokers — people who, even if they are political pundits expressing opinions, can be fair to all sides of an argument. In an environment where so much trust is already gone, moves by mainstream outlets that chip away at their status as honest brokers seem unwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because interest in the election has also fueled a rise in news consumption — \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/brettedkins/2016/12/01/donald-trumps-election-delivers-massive-ratings-for-cable-news/#9a956c9321c9\">cable news channels in particular saw huge double-digit ratings increases from last year\u003c/a> — news outlets haven't yet paid a significant price economically for any missteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #3: Normalizing racism and sexism.\u003c/strong> Given that Trump's electoral success has emboldened some white nationalists and racists who endorsed him, news media outlets face the challenging task of reporting on these issues and groups without inadvertently helping them recruit more followers or make their racist views seem more acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR faced that challenge when interviewing Breitbart senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak about questions that the site has been a platform for the racist \"alt-right\" movement. Pollak called the reporting and commentary on race and culture by our Code Switch team \"racist,\" while also pushing back against questions about a Breitbart piece on the Confederate flag that denied the Confederacy was attempting to \"enforce slavery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Host Steve Inskeep did a great job asking fair questions of Pollak, but the issues at hand are so complex, as a listener I was thirsty for a longer, more detailed dialogue that more deeply probed these allegations.
