“While Google is the target of the trial, the proceedings are also expected to shed some light on how businesses such as the New York Times and Wall Street Journal actually make their money these days, and how they depend on arcane marketplaces run by internet giants to do so. [Justice Department attorney Julia Tarver Wood] said prosecutors intend to call executives from companies including USA Today, Journal parent company News Corp. and the Daily Mail to testify in the coming weeks.”

“The new outlet’s homepage directs users to posts on X and Instagram and to other websites, rather than its own pages — which its founders see as an alternative to ubiquitous, low-quality aggregation.”

“Reporters and editors at the news organization have long grumbled about the drab and dated nature of the Post’s digital front door. Among the frustrations: The homepage featured relatively few stories at any given time and lacked a sense of cohesion.”

“It’s worth noting that the sanewashing phenomenon figures into a debate that is almost as old as Trump’s political career itself, and legitimately thorny: whether to expose news consumers more to his rhetoric, or shut it out.”

“Before they ever risk leading to a godlike superintelligence or devastating mass unemployment, they first need training. Instead of using these grandiloquent chatbots to automate us out of our livelihoods, tech companies are contracting us to help train their models.”

“Prioritize small, independent, public service, nonprofit newsrooms. Those newsrooms have to be accountable in more ways than a for-profit newsroom does, because their mission is usually more aligned with the community they represent. They also have limited access to revenue streams available to for-profits, especially if they want to remain independent.”

“Trump has become more incoherent as he has aged, but you wouldn’t know it from most of the press coverage, which treats his utterances as essentially logical policy statements — a ‘sweeping vision,’ even.”

“A symmetrical response is not possible. There is no state news agency in the U.S., and there is no state TV channel in the U.S.,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the RIA Novosti news agency. “But there will certainly be measures here that will restrict their media disseminating their information.”

“Is it moral to remain on a platform that does so much to bring the politics of division and hatred off the keyboard and into real life? Is X any worse than Facebook, or TikTok, or (for God’s sake!) YouTube? And is it worse on purpose, which is to say, are we watching the unfolding of a Musk master plan?”

“The network that would push the sexual smears began with more run-of-the-mill Republican talking points, but it was unusual in one way, a person who participated in its video calls said: None of the participants identified themselves by name, and all joined calls with their cameras off to preserve their mutual anonymity. However, Semafor was able to identify one of them: former New York Republican Rep. George Santos, who spoke up on one conference call to object when the parties discussed making sexual allegations against Harris.”

“In my nearly four decades as a foreign correspondent, I have always carried a book of poetry with me. While the images we show have great impact, I feel that journalistic language sometimes fails to convey the intensity of the experience.”

“The New York Times has pieced together what happened inside Disney during those fateful months by talking to scores of people directly involved. Many of them talked extensively for the first time about what transpired, some only on the condition of anonymity because of their nondisclosure agreements with Disney.”

“Google is defending itself against claims that its advertising business has acted as a monopoly that’s led to higher ad prices for customers.”

YouTube says it deleted Tenet Media’s account to fight “coordinated influence operations.”

“Sometimes I’ve had to employ the strategy of getting the national press to cover something just so the local press will pick it up.”

“Any campaign that fails to meet this AU guarantee will be offered a makegood in the form of additional added-value impressions. The guarantee is not meant to assuage advertisers’ potential brand safety concerns. Instead, it is designed to appeal to marketers who understand the value of advertising against news content but who are wary of having their message lost in the noise of a hectic moment.”

“A coalition of media organizations, including CNN, has petitioned a Nevada court to open up the secret proceedings surrounding a legal battle over the future of billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. The New York Times, Associated Press, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, Reuters and CNN filed a motion Wednesday in the Second Judicial District Court in Nevada to make public the proceedings, objecting to the case being so extensively sealed that it doesn’t even appear on any court schedule or docket.”

“Research by data firm Kantar, based on interviews with 18,000 consumers and 1,000 senior marketers around the world, has found that 26% of marketers are planning to cut back ad spend on X in 2025. ‘Marketers are brand custodians and need to trust the platforms they use,’ said Gonca Bubani, a director at Kantar.”

“The new verdict arrives at an especially tumultuous time for copyright law. In the past two years there have been dozens of copyright infringement cases filed against major AI companies that offer generative AI tools, and many of the defendants in these cases argue that the fair use doctrine shields their usage of copyrighted data in AI training. Any major lawsuit in which judges refute fair use claims are thus closely watched.”

“Four months in, Zeteo has pulled in 31,000 paid subscribers through the Substack platform, including more than 1,000 at the $500-and-up ‘founder’ level, accounting for about $3 million in annualized revenue. Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie called Zeteo’s launch ‘one of the most successful and fastest growing in Substack history.’ That subscriber count makes Zeteo the fifth most-popular politics publication on Substack, trailing long-established offerings from popular pundits Bari Weiss (the Free Press) and Nate Silver (Silver Bulletin) and outlets like the Bulwark.”

“The goal of the operation, according to prosecutors, was to fuel pro-Russian narratives, in part, by pushing content and news articles favoring Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and others who the Kremlin deemed to be friendlier to its interests. Among the commentators listed on Tenet Media’s website are right-wing personalities Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin. All have released statements saying they were victims of the alleged Russian scheme and they maintained editorial control of the content they created. Each has a loyal fanbase online, with a combined roughly 6 million followers on YouTube alone.”

“YouTube on Thursday announced a new set of AI detection tools to protect creators, including artists, actors, musicians and athletes from having their likeness, including their face and voice, copied and used in other videos. One key component of the new detection technology involved the expansion of YouTube’s existing Content ID system, which today identifies copyright-protected material. This system will be expanded to include new synthetic-singing identification technology to identify AI content that simulates someone’s singing voice. Other detection technologies will be developed to identify when someone’s face is simulated with AI.”

“Bunting, the current CEO and executive director of the Online News Association, will scale up The 19th’s fundraising capacity and lead our development, finance and budgeting operations, helping to sustain our critical independent journalism.”

“As that list makes clear, these leaders have realized that crackdowns on the press are most effective when they’re at their least dramatic — not the stuff of thrillers but a movie so plodding and complicated that no one wants to watch it.”

“Only employees in The Dodo and Thrillist unions have had raises withheld. All other Vox employees did receive raises. Vox management is trying to force us into remaining separate, weaker unions by withholding our pay. As more than 95% of Vox Media Union, Thrillist Union, and The Dodo Union have already voted, we are one union.”

“If you’re familiar with Morning Brew, the format for The News will seem familiar. Every morning, they summarize a handful of top stories, using bullet points and bold font to make the emails easy to skim. They pitch the newsletter as a quick way to catch up on the biggest stories. (‘Mais inteligente em 5 minutos’ is their tagline — even a non-Portuguese speaker can probably translate that.)”

“Tyrangiel, currently a columnist at The Washington Post, previously served in senior roles at Bloomberg and Time magazine. His most recent role was at Vice News, where he was the driving force behind the Emmy-award-winning Vice News Tonight before it was canceled.”

“NewsGuard could not definitively identify the people responsible for the network, which includes at least 1,409 accounts on Facebook and X using AI to generate content. However, the network exhibits characteristics that point to a link to the Indian Army, including frequent promotion of pro-government narratives and posts aligned with military interests.”

“The network’s Sunday morning round table of media criticism that he had hosted, also called Reliable Sources, will not return. In his new role, Mr. Stelter will serve as an on-air analyst in addition to writing his newsletter and reporting for the network.”

“The updated Espresso app is part of a broader effort by The Economist to make its journalism more accessible to audiences around the world. The Economist today launches Al-translated videos on its social platforms, using large-language and other foundational models to transform English-speaking Economist journalists into fluent French, German, Mandarin or Spanish speakers.”

“[Sir Paul] Marshall, who is leading the bid as part of a consortium backed by Ken Griffin, the U.S. billionaire founder of the Citadel hedge fund, is one of about four prospective buyers in the running.”

“There’s very little risk of this case undermining the precedent established by Sullivan, no matter how ugly the courtroom gets.”

“‘You may be wondering why, with all of the progress we’ve made in our business over the last year, our share price performance has lagged the overall market,’ [Snap CEO Evan] Spiegel wrote Tuesday in the letter. ‘The answer is simple: our advertising business is growing slower than our competitors.'”

“‘I think from a consumer perspective, it’s becoming more important to think about spending downtime in nature and experiencing the outdoors,’ [Outside CEO Robin] Thurston said. ‘I think for brands, we’re a pretty safe place to go to not have a lot of that other noise.”

“The purpose of the newsroom cuts, MacLeod added, is to find efficiencies in the SaltWire operations that can provide a stable future for the newspapers, including the Cape Breton Post in Sydney, N.S., The Guardian in Charlottetown, and The Telegram in St. John’s, N.L.”

“Freelance foreign affairs reporter Richard Medhurst says he was arrested under Section 12 of Terrorism Act 2000 and told he was accused of ‘expressing an opinion or a belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization.'”

“…last Friday, the 25-year-old nonprofit, known as NaNoWriMo for short, shocked many in the writing community when it published a controversial statement detailing its position on AI. In it, NaNoWriMo asserted that the ‘categorical condemnation’ of artificial intelligence has ‘classist and ableist undertones.'”

“We’ve always wanted to remove our paywall in order to make our journalism free and accessible to everyone. And in our surveys, we heard that sentiment from members, too. Because the membership program provided a significant amount of our budget, removing the paywall has been a constant concern. Until now.”

“Axel Neff, who helped start Telegram, said the company’s core team of about 60 employees, 30 of whom are engineers, is too small to monitor the platform for criminal conduct. ‘Think about the size of Telegram. There are about a billion users on Telegram every month. A billion!’ he said. ‘Telegram is a massive, massive community. … They are not staffed — and they do not have the capacity — to monitor everything that goes on there.'”

“Blocking X in Brazil is like dropping a nuclear bomb on stan Twitter and the shutdown is already sending shockwaves through the entertainment and pop culture universe. With over 21 million monthly users, Brazil is one of X’s dominant markets, not only measured by sheer usage, but also cultural impact. Some staffers at music labels and entertainment PR agencies said they were scrambling on Friday night to assess the impact the ban might have on their talents’ fandoms.”

“USA Today was the domain most likely to appear in Google’s Top Stories box in the first half of 2024, according to data shared with Press Gazette for Google searches across the web.”

“Lots of people know how to describe clothes…Far fewer people know how to describe the way clothes get to our closets.”

“Nearly a decade after ‘Hot Ones’ made its debut on YouTube, the show that spiced up the celebrity interview wants the clout, deals and awards that TV shows command. As YouTube creators’ audience grows, they want to earn the kind of money and prestige enjoyed by traditional television stars. They’re using strategies that also resemble traditional TV — chasing Emmy awards and trying to drive up ad rates.”

“‘The redefining and returning to the roots of the radical Black press was very important to us,’ Sorrell said. ‘And also, I would say, viewing ourselves as a community organization as opposed to a news outlet.'”

“With the entire tech industry shifting its attention to these products, it may be time to pay more attention to the persuasive form of AI outputs, and not just their content… ‘The model hallucination doesn’t end’ with a given AI tool, Pat Pataranutaporn, who researches human-AI interaction at MIT, told me. ‘It continues, and can make us hallucinate as well.’ Pataranutaporn and his fellow researchers recently sought to understand how chatbots could manipulate our understanding of the world by, in effect, implanting false memories.”

“Channel blackouts have become more common in the streaming era. TV distributors argue they’re paying too much for content that fewer people watch, while networks argue the cost of live programming, especially sports rights, is increasing.”

“I know a lot of reporters who long ago made the shrewd decision to delete all of their old posts to protect themselves. I would never judge anyone for doing that. But a large part of my project as a journalist is to meet people where they live in gray areas and to run toward complication and nuance, and to understand context as it is or as it was, and I see an effort to conceal jokes I made in the context of the internet of five or 10 or 15 years ago as a kind of dishonesty that I am not comfortable engaging in.”

“Experts believe the showdown between Musk and Brazil’s supreme court will escalate before it cools. If Starlink follows through on its reported vow to ignore the X ban, it is likely to face similar sanctions itself for ignoring a supreme court order.”

“The harassment began after New Hampshire Public Radio published a story in March 2022 that detailed allegations of sexual misconduct against Eric Spofford, who had owned the state’s largest network of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers.”

“Journalists weren’t always so consolidated. As late as 2002, the places where reporters lived ‘matched the distribution of the overall population fairly closely’ … By 2019, however, more than 20 percent of newsroom employees were huddled in just three American cities: New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC. Among digital news workers, 41 percent lived and worked in the Northeast. These digital reporters were least likely to call the Midwest or the South home.”

“Federal government agencies in the United States spent more than $1.8 billion on discretionary advertising in 2023 – more than double the 2018 spend, according to federal procurement records analyzed by Rebuild Local News … We also found that there is a debilitating lack of transparency in how federal advertising money is spent. It is unclear how much is going to social media companies compared to national or local media. The lack of transparency makes it harder for smaller media to make the case for inclusion in advertising buys, and, in general, increases the odds of corruption or ineffectiveness.”

“WIRED can confirm that Facebook, Instagram, Craigslist, Tumblr, The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Atlantic, Vox Media, the USA Today network, and WIRED’s parent company, Condé Nast, are among the many organizations opting to exclude their data from Apple’s AI training. The cold reception reflects a significant shift in both the perception and use of the robotic crawlers that have trawled the web for decades. Now that these bots play a key role in collecting AI training data, they’ve become a conflict zone over intellectual property and the future of the web.”

“Of the 61 counties considered part of the Permian Basin region in Texas, 13 counties had no local newspapers, and the majority had only one newspaper … A search of the Permian Proud’s two-year-old website shows just a smattering of stories about climate change or greenhouse gas emissions — despite the oil and gas industry’s leading role in causing the climate crisis. As of August 12, there were two stories mentioning climate change.”

“Shanley had been under the gun. He knew the Associated Press and other media outlets were chasing the story too. It was also the end of the summer and the Alligator’s entire staff was on the verge of turning over. … The students view themselves as serious journalists working in a professional newsroom that’s often fighting against better-funded professional outlets for scoops. But this is also college, so Shanley once played DJ at a newspaper staff party.”

“Stand News started off as a struggling non-profit in 2014, with a skeleton staff heavily reliant on public donations. During Hong Kong’s months-long pro-democracy protests in 2019 the outlet’s popularity skyrocketed given its hours-long Facebook live streams, in-depth features and investigative reports, with more than 20 million page views per month. The liberal tone of Stand News reportage helped it attract fresh readers, as people sought more freedom and democracy amid China’s tightening control over the city …. On the night of the police raid, one Stand News journalist kept editing a story until police took away his earphones. ‘He really worked till the end.'”

“Much of the research and discourse on risks from artificial intelligence (AI) image generators, such as DALL-E and Midjourney, has centered around whether they could be used to inject false information into political discourse. We show that spammers and scammers—seemingly motivated by profit or clout, not ideology—are already using AI-generated images to gain significant traction on Facebook.”

“Almost half of the overall money from Google comes from its agreeing not to stop, again for five years, the Google News Initiative payments it had already been making, ostensibly out of the goodness of its corporate heart … Google has also committed some new money to accelerate the adoption of AI, which is a bit like GM agreeing to spend to encourage the purchase of new electric vehicles.”

“This deal does not provide close to the level of funding that is owed or that would be meaningful, but does help further decimate the once-dynamic California press corps, ensuring that the vital role of journalism in our democracy will continue to slide off a cliff until it is replaced by cheaper and less-nosy artificial intelligence.”

“AB 2602 would require explicit consent for the use of a ‘digital replica’ of a performer … ‘We’re looking to make sure people who aren’t currently covered by one of our agreements are protected. We don’t want to see the next generation of performers lose all rights to voice and likeness because they don’t have any leverage or ability to effectuate fair terms.'”

“We were very much alone in taking down the paywall, but we felt it was the right thing to do for our brand and our mission and our purpose … You should be able to get Time.com for free. And not just what we’re reporting on today, but information from 100 years [ago], to help inform your understanding of the events around the world.”

“The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Palin can again try to prove the Times should be liable for a 2017 editorial, ‘America’s Lethal Politics,’ that incorrectly linked her to a 2011 mass shooting that killed six people and seriously wounded Democratic U.S. congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Media critics, and Palin herself, have viewed the case as a possible vehicle to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision that set a high bar for public figures to prove defamation.”

“A National Labor Relations Board judge will hear a complaint about the June 2022 firing of former Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez. Many unfair labor practice charges are filed before the board every year, but only a few result in complaints like this one being issued. Last year, for example, fewer than four percent of unfair labor practice charges resulted in complaints, while a little more than a quarter of them resulted in settlements. The Post fired Sonmez after she criticized then-fellow Post reporter Dave Weigel for retweeting a sexist joke.”

“Jeff was killed for doing the kind of work in which he took great pride: His reporting held an elected official accountable for bad behavior and empowered voters to choose someone else for the job.”

“After more than a decade building a reputation for incisive coverage of the sport, Ben Rothenberg has become disillusioned with it. The grueling travel schedule, dwindling access to players and pains of freelance employment all took their toll. Also: He’s being sued by one of the top players in the world.”

“Let’s put this sloppy, bad-faith argument to rest.”

“In February 2017, just a month into his presidency, Donald Trump asked to meet alone with FBI director James Comey in the Oval Office…[Trump] floated another idea: Why not jail journalists who leak classified information? ‘They spend a couple days in jail, make a new friend, and they are ready to talk,’ Trump supposedly said, according to Comey’s notes on the conversation. Comey laughed. But Trump wasn’t joking.”

“While some of the accusations could still raise red flags, many seem to concern serious offenses — like child abuse and terrorism — that Durov would reasonably have been aware of. But many questions remain unanswered, including how worried other tech executives should be.”

“Apple has eliminated about 100 jobs across its digital services group according to Bloomberg, as part of a “shift in priorities” for the division. The majority of those laid off reportedly worked within the team that runs the Apple Books app and Apple Bookstore, with the remaining cuts made to some engineering roles and services like Apple News.”

“Bennett joins Hearst from Highsnobiety, the Zalando-owned streetwear and youth culture media entity, where as editor-in-chief, she expanded its audience and grew its e-commerce revenue. She also previously held roles at GQ magazine and Bustle Digital Group.”

“Unfortunately, it only supports spoken English right now, but it seems like it could make missing an important [interview] less stressful; it automatically takes notes in a Google Doc and will attach that file to the calendar event after the meeting is over, so you can reference them later on.”

“Trump agreed earlier this month to take part in the ABC News debate…But Trump threw the debate into uncertainty Sunday when he criticized ABC as biased in a social media post and suggested people should ‘stay tuned’ about his participation.”

“The joint letter…warns that Israel has killed more than 100 journalists in Gaza since 7 October 2023. The letter also accuses the Israel Defence Forces of deliberately targeting and killing at least five journalists, with another ten deaths under investigation. And it condemns the ban on independent media accessing Gaza, warning that 49 journalists and media workers have been detained by Israel since 7 October.”

“Despite growing rumors that [Telegram founder Pavel] Durov may have fallen under the Kremlin’s influence, Telegram has remained the primary channel for dissent in Russia, especially after the outbreak of the war, as Vladimir Putin cracked down on independent media outlets and banned western social media platforms.”

“Given the past history of X Spaces, I’m sure it will be easy to trust X Conference for your next important business meeting.”

“‘The man who founded this, when he founded it in the 60’s, car was firebombed. He and his family’s lives were threatened,’ said head writer Linda Lawson. But the East St. Louis Monitor had a purpose: keep Black communities informed by any means.”

“I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”

“In the four weeks since Venezuela’s disputed election, local journalists have come up with a distinctly 21st-century tactic to avoid being arrested for reporting on 21st-century socialism: using artificial intelligence avatars to report all the news Maduro’s regime deems unfit to print.”

“The letter is the latest repudiation by Zuckerberg of efforts to target misinformation around the coronavirus pandemic during and after the 2020 presidential election, particularly as allegations have emerged that some posts were deleted or restricted wrongly.”

“A worrisome outcome of France’s ultimate prosecution of Telegram, assuming there is one, is that it will embolden countries around the world to prosecute platform CEOs criminally for failing to turn over user data….On the other hand, Telegram really does seem to be actively enabling a staggering amount of abuse. And while it’s disturbing to see state power used indiscriminately to snoop on private conversations, it’s equally disturbing to see a private company declare itself to be above the law.”

“Antón didn’t offer a reason for shutting down Reviewed. Product reviews are often seen as a lucrative venture for publishers, who can draw readers looking for purchasing advice on search engines and make money when readers buy items from the articles…But even content that has historically made news outlets money is vulnerable to changes in Google Search, where a bulk of traffic comes from.”

“It’s exciting to see others like The Onion, Nylon and even LIFE going back into print. In today’s noisy digital ecosystem, print plays a fun and new role for all readers of all ages.”

“Martínez, who called himself ‘The Son of the Lone Ranger,’ became the 47th journalist killed during the nearly six-year presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, one short of the record for a single administration.”

“Last week, three media outlets released games-related announcements. BuzzFeed launched a redesign for BuzzFeed Arcade, home to Pyramid Scheme, AI generators and other games. Vulture released an archive of Cinematrix, its daily movie trivia game. Mashable announced its partnership with Arkadium to offer games like Mahjong and Sudoku.”

“The weekly series continues to rank among the most popular podcasts on both the Apple Podcast and Spotify charts, and it was named Podcast of the Year at the 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards.”

“A new tool shows how much air quality has changed since the Industrial Revolution in cities across the world. It generates a single image made up of different colored stripes representing pollution each year in each major city.”

“Tera Allas of McKinsey, a consultancy, worries that by the time AI is firmly embedded into modern working life, it might be designed to appeal more to men, who are its main users—potentially shutting women out in the long term.”

“Telegram’s light oversight of what people say or do on the platform has helped people living under authoritarian governments communicate and organize. But it has also made the app a haven for disinformation, far-right extremism and other harmful content. Many were shocked when reports emerged on Saturday across French news media that [Russian entrepreneur Pavel] Durov had been arrested in France on charges related to the spread of illicit material on the service.”

“I’m really excited to have important, thoughtful content like that, mixed with quick-turn [aggregation]. There are a ton of really excellent local papers still doing excellent work that isn’t reaching wider audiences, and that we would both like to boost and build on that.”

“The episode involving Benedetta Pilato is just one of many examples during the Olympics that showed how news and stories about sport in Italy often lack depth, empathy and respect.”

The Brazilian population makes up about 20 to 30% of the island’s 20,000 year-round residents.

“This snafu isn’t just about one voter or one segment gone awry. It’s raising questions about how big news networks handle political coverage. Are ‘undecided voter’ panels worth the trouble? And in an age where everyone’s got a mile-long digital footprint, how do we make sure what we see on TV reflects reality?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

Ryan Evans, a former British soldier working as a safety advisor for Reuters, was killed in the attack on a hotel in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. Two Reuters journalists are also being treated in a hospital; one is seriously injured, the news agency said.

“You drop out and you die immediately, or you partner with them and you probably just die slowly, because eventually they’re not going to need you either.”

“First things first: We’re doing this all with the blessing of Daily Kos, from founder Markos Moulitsas on down … Newsrooms across the country have faced cutbacks as advertising revenues have plummeted, and Daily Kos is no exception. At the same time, we know that so many people have come to count on the service we provide. We want to be sustainable for years to come.”

“Tice, a Marine veteran, was covering the Syrian civil war as a freelance journalist when he disappeared on Aug. 14, 2012.”

“In Chicago, in 1968, it was electric. You knew it was the story and, to quote one of the sayings at the time, the whole world was watching.”

“The Senegalese Council of Press Distributors and Publishers, an organization representing both private and public media companies, claimed that the government had frozen banks accounts belonging to the media outlets, allegedly for owing back taxes, ‘seized production equipment’ and ‘unilaterally and illegally terminated advertising contracts.'”

“The hope was that their presence would engage members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha and get them interested in the Games. Mostly, that didn’t pan out.”

In a memo this afternoon to staff, New York Public Radio CEO LaFontaine Oliver said “without swift action, we will soon face significant questions about our ability to continue to serve New York.”

“Our job in the campaign is to make the windmill. It is the vice president’s job to make the wind.”
