PLEA TO OPEN RESTAURANTS NEXT WEEK FUELED BY STUPIDITY AND DESPERATION

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted May 15, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, COVID, Dear Reader, News, News to Us

None of the segments or articles amplifying the push to reopen restaurants sought input from a medical professional or anyone else who might suggest that opening the doors next week is reckless.

NEW STUDY: 1-IN-3 WHO THINK THEY KNOW ABOUT COVID-19 DON’T KNOW SHIT

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted April 9, 2020 Filed Under: COVID, Dear Reader, Media Farm

coronavirus myths

“This study shows that there remains a lot of misinformation about COVID-19 circulating online. The research also shows clearly that social media is playing a role, promoting a lot of COVID-19 myths as well as a lackadaisical attitude toward the pandemic in general."

MASS CONTINUES DRUG-TESTING PROBATIONERS DURING CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted April 5, 2020 Filed Under: COVID, Dear Reader

drug testing coronavirus

According to one probationer who I spoke with for this column, that routine—which they had to go through twice last week—involves waiting in a lobby close to other people, riding in an elevator with an Averhealth employee, pulling their pants down and shirt up, peeing in a cup, and handing over the goods.

ME + YOU + THE ACLU

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 25, 2020 Filed Under: A+E, Books, Dear Reader

Without First Amendment crusaders to catch our backs, journalists—along with educators, activists, and anybody else whose career or passion often requires that they take unpopular public positions—would be no more useful than a Putin fan zine published by the Kremlin.

FROM CLAW MACHINES TO LOOT BOXES, THIS CAN’T BE GOOD FOR CHILDREN

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 21, 2020 Filed Under: Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

Don’t even think about leaving the arcade before you swipe a couple bucks away trying to wrap a claw that couldn’t lift a Lego around an anonymous L.O.L. Surprise! prize the size of a toddler.

I WAS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND CAN CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING CHUCK TODD SAYS IS COMPLETELY STUPID

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 12, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

My point is to draw a comparison between the horse-race repetition and robotic uniformity of the kind of trash commercial bigs, from putrid right-wing radio to elitist broadsheets like the Post, reported out of New Hampshire this week, and the unique features that our squad produced.

SOME QUICK WORDS BEFORE HEADING OFF TO COVER THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 4, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

The reporters I roll with may not dress like the coifs on TV, or have as many cool lanyards in their credential collection as those who ride campaign buses, but I assure you we are much more serious than most of them.

IN DEFENSE OF TELLING FAMILY MEMBERS THAT THEY AREN’T QUALIFIED TO ARGUE WITH YOU ABOUT POLITICS

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted January 28, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS
