Feb 27, 2023: CrimeONLine: Debbie Collier: Renowned Pathologist Dr. Baden Says Georgia Mom Likely Murdered, Despite Autopsy Saying ‘Suicide’
Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden says he thinks Georgia mother Debbie Collier was murdered, despite an autopsy report that indicated she took her own life.
According to the New York Post, Baden reviewed the autopsy report last week on Collier, which indicated that she died from “inhalation of superheated gases, thermal injuries and a hydrocodone intoxication.” According to Baden, however, since the autopsy report indicated she had no carbon dioxide or soot in her system, she would have had to be dead before the fire started.

Feb 24, 2023: Peter Baker: New York Times: ‘It’s Complicated’: How Biden and Zelensky Forged a Wartime Partnership
Feb 2, 2023: Dame: Media’s Lust for Conflict Is Failing the Public
Last month, the New York Times published a front-page story by Peter Baker, the paper’s chief White House correspondent, headlined, “Biden’s Errors On Files Blur Trump’s Case” (the online version of the story ran with the headline, “Biden’s Handling of Secret Documents Complicates the Case Against Trump”). On Twitter, Baker matter-of-factly stated that “Democrats will now have a hard time using Trump’s mishandling of classified papers against him, even though the particulars of the two cases are markedly different.” |

Sep 21, 2022
From its chaotic beginning to the violent finale, the Trump presidency was filled with moments ranging from the unthinkable to the deadly serious. That has continued until these past several weeks, and the man at the center of all of this could announce he is running for president again. That makes understanding his presidency even more important today.
Veteran journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser chart the ambitious and lasting history of the Trump presidency, drawing on unprecedented access to key players from President Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, and more. Based on these exclusive interviews, Baker and Glasser reveal moments both tense and comical, from how close the United States got to nuclear war with North Korea to whether Trump asked Japan’s prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize. They also explore the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for him and where they drew their lines.
Join us as Peter Baker and Susan Glasser return to the Club to discuss Donald Trump's presidency and what a second term could mean for the country |
Streamed live on Oct 6, 2022
The Washington Post describes Susan Glasser and Peter Baker’s new book The Divider as the “most comprehensive and detailed account of the Trump presidency yet published.” From his “American carnage” inaugural address to the January 6th insurrection he helped trigger, the authors argue that far from lurching from one controversy to another, Donald Trump was constantly learning the techniques and practices of the foreign autocrats he so admired.

Feb 22, 2023: Poynter: How The New York Times is helping local journalists who have ‘tons of ideas and no time’
When the former executive editor of The New York Times went to Jackson, Mississippi, it wasn’t for vacation. But he was on tour. Dean Baquet, who led the Times from 2014 to 2022, spent time last fall with the publisher of the Jackson Advocate, the city’s Black-owned newspaper that dates back to 1938. Jerry Mitchell, founder of the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting, and Reena Evers-Everette, the daughter of civil rights leaders Medgar and Myrlie Evers, took Baquet on a tour of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. He visited Mississippi Today, a nonprofit newsroom, and The Clarion-Ledger, the city’s Gannett-owned newspaper. |
Prior to joining The Times, Baquet was the managing editor of The Los Angeles Times and reporter for The Chicago Tribune and The Times Picayune in New Orleans. While at The Chicago Tribune, Baquet won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for his seven-part series on corruption in the city council. |

At the Independent News Sustainability Summit in Austin last October, Evan Smith, former CEO of the Texas Tribune, asked Dean Baquet, former executive editor of The New York Times, whether he was “bullish or bearish” on the state of the news industry.
“I see people getting into the news business in ways that they couldn’t before,” Baquet said. “I had coffee a couple of months ago with the editors at New York Focus, which is a small newsroom in New York that’s examining the state government and the prison system. They do great stuff.”

Sept 17, 2014: HuffPost: An Open Letter to The Huffington Post's Melanie Batley on How Gay Marriage Undermines Traditional Marriage
You said that you haven't found a conservative to "give you a satisfactory answer" as to "how gay marriage tangibly undermines traditional marriage arrangements." That's unfortunate, and I'm not very surprised. However, this kind of answer is the kind of answer we specialize in here at the Ruth Institute (which by the way is no longer part of NOM).
Before I answer, let me pose a question, Melanie. Have you researched the precise manner in which gay marriage is implemented into the legal code? I would like to make a prediction: that you have not done this research. Very few have. What I have observed, instead, is that gay marriage supporters make an assumption.

Rather than focusing on the specific details of the warrant, or the itemized list of property that federal agents seized from Trump's home on suspicion of potentially serious crimes (the outlet obtained both documents and only later published them in full), author Matthew Boyle initially chose to write about when the warrant was issued. Specifically, Boyle reported that the warrant was signed by a federal judge three days before the FBI raided Trump's home.

After receiving her graduate degree in 2010 from VCU, she started working at WTVR-CBS 6, where her focus has been on new media.

April 5, 2023: Toronto Star: Marjorie Taylor Greene profile does not meet standards for ‘60 Minutes’
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, 1968, I watched a brand-new program on CBS called “60 Minutes.” One of the anchors, Harry Reasoner, called it, “a magazine for television,” a concept unheard of. It wasn’t successful out of the gate, but it is now the longest continuously running program in American network prime time. It is not an overstatement to say that for many journalists it came to be regarded as the standard of excellence in TV news. Which is why this Sunday’s episode was such a disappointment. “60 Minutes” devoted its opening segment to Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican member of Congress from a district in northwest Georgia. There is nothing wrong with profiling a politician. It’s been done hundreds of times over the years. But MTG, as she’s called, is not an ordinary politician. She is vile. |
