With nine weeks left in the midterm cycle and no White House press secretary, Trump’s public attacks on reporters have become more frantic, including calls to the FCC over NBC’s Kristen Welker. Major outlets—NBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post—quickly defended their journalists, a sign that outlets are resisting suppression and defending press independence even as the administration faces accountability and sagging public support.

Seattle mayor's interview cut short over surveillance questions stirs public safety debate

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a self-described socialist, faced backlash after abruptly halting a KOMO interview when pressed on the role of surveillance cameras amid rising gun violence. A staffer pulled her away and told the reporter to keep it on topic, a moment that went viral and drew criticism from both supporters and critics. Wilson later revisited the topic in a follow-up interview, saying CCTV can aid public safety but must be safeguarded against misuse, with Fox News noting ongoing scrutiny of her approach to crime and safety policy.

Prince Harry Fires a Sharp Dig at the Institution Minutes Into Testimony

Prince Harry testified in the Mirror Group phone-hacking case against Associated Newspapers, saying he wouldn’t have complained about articles at the time because of the royal institution’s policy and describing an uneasy relationship with the press since his mother’s death. He argued that context mattered and challenged the notion that insiders supplied information, as the nine‑week trial in London unfolds with other claimants like Elton John and Liz Hurley; ANL denies unlawful information gathering.
