| Gut-wrenching photo; press blackout; Mueller time; Trump's next interview; press secretary shift; Slate's new political editor; NBC's 'Office' move Posted: 25 Jun 2019 08:32 PM PDT I know it is tempting to look away from the border. Babies taking care of babies. Migrants pleading for help. I have been trying. But we can't. We can't look away
I know it is tempting to look away. I have been trying. I have been trying to avoid the stories about the deplorable conditions at the camps near the southern border. Babies taking care of babies. Migrants pleading for help. Maybe you have been trying to avoid it too. But we can't.
The humanitarian crisis at the border is back at the top of the national news agenda. I have been noticing this all month long -- an increase in stories and columns and segments about the situation -- and now it's No. 1 for several reasons. Let's take a closer look...
A dead kid and her dad | | This photograph of a father and daughter who drowned while crossing the Rio Grande on Sunday was "captured by journalist Julia Le Duc and published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada," according to The AP. It "highlights the perils faced by mostly Central American migrants fleeing violence and poverty and hoping for asylum in the United States."
CNN's team writes: "The photo is haunting, a vivid reminder of the danger many face when they try to cross into the United States. It shows the human toll of a crisis at the border that's often debated with abstract statistics and detached policy arguments." And it evokes memories "of a 3-year-old Syrian boy, Aylan Kurdi, whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey. The iconic 2015 image of the drowned toddler lying in the sand continues to stir discussion over policies toward migrants."
"This picture came out now for a reason."
That's what Chris Cuomo said on his CNN program Tuesday evening. He noted that there "was a debate within news organizations -- whether to show it -- [and] that's not unusual. We're worried about the startling effect of this grisly reality." But the reality is, "this is terrible. Whether you're a parent, or you just have blood pumping through their veins."
"I can't even look at it, Chris," Don Lemon said at the end of Cuomo's show.
"You must," Cuomo said.
What are we NOT seeing?
There's been a "blackout on press access" at detention facilities, WaPo's Paul Farhi wrote on Tuesday. So Americans are "largely in the dark about conditions in government facilities designed to handle migrants who have crossed the border. Photographs and TV images are rare and often dated. Rarer still are interviews with federal agency managers and employees or with the children themselves." Read Farhi's full story here...
Relying on second-hand reports
"The gut-wrenching descriptions we have of conditions at some border patrol facilities have been coming in, for the most part, from lawyers who are able to access these facilities," MSNBC's Rachel Maddow said Tuesday evening.
"As a rule," she asserted, "they do not talk to the press about their visits. They're used in ongoing litigation and legal matters." But "this past week they have so shocked and so disgusted by what they found that they decided that they needed, for the first time, to go public and sound the alarm." And those accounts are a big reason why this subject is back on TV screens. Some other reasons: Ongoing litigation... Progressive activism... Tuesday's resignation of the acting border patrol boss, which led the broadcast nightly newscasts... And Tuesday night's House passage of a new border aid bill...
Trump deflects...
When CNN's Abby Phillip asked Trump if he's concerned about the conditions at the border, Trump said, "Yes I am, I'm very concerned. And they're much better than under President Obama by far."
He also said the kids are being treated "very well," which prompted Fox's Shep Smith to re-read the reporting from Clint, TX. Mediaite has the video...
Soldiers rescue woman and child on US-Mexico border
This story, from CNN's Ryan Browne, is a timely reminder about what Americans are doing to reduce the suffering, amid all the disturbing headlines: "Two US soldiers tasked with helping safeguard the US-Mexico border rescued a woman and a her child Thursday, saving the migrant family from drowning as they attempted to cross into the country, the US military said Tuesday..."
BREAKING
Mueller time
A 9 p.m. surprise: The House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees announced that Robert Mueller has agreed to testify publicly "following a subpoena." The date: Wednesday, July 17. Wall to wall TV coverage? Of course. As CNN's Jeremy Herb said, "Mueller's testimony is poised to be the most-anticipated congressional hearing in years..."
>> Reminder: Mueller said on May 29 that "any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report...."
Trump is calling Maria Bartiromo
Fox said Tuesday night that Maria Bartiromo will be interviewing Trump on the phone on Wednesday morning. It "will air live on FBN's Mornings with Maria in the 8 a.m. ET hour," per Fox...
Grisham in charge
Stephanie Grisham "has been with team Trump longer than anyone currently in the White House, with the exception of Dan Scavino, both of whom started on the Trump campaign in 2015," CNN's Kate Bennett wrote on Tuesday. And now Grisham -- Melania Trump's spokeswoman -- will be both W.H. press secretary AND comms director. She is starting right away, with Trump about to fly to Japan for the G20. Read Bennett's full story here...
>> NYT's Katie Rogers wrote: "Grisham will give the First Lady a new window into a West Wing where the President's kids have an outsized influence..."
107 days
Wednesday will be day 107 without a televised White House press briefing. Will Grisham resume the briefings in the weeks ahead?

"You'd better not say I was here"
Oliver Darcy emails: Some reporters appeared embarrassed to have attended Monday night's goodbye party for Sarah Sanders. Speaking to the NYT, one reporter said, "You'd better not say I was here." Another echoed, "Me either." Which, as The Daily Beast's Max Tani said, is a "lame response." Indeed, if these reporters were uncomfortable attending the event, then why did they go to begin with? But as CJR's Amanda Darrach wrote here, some W.H. reporters justified the schmoozing as a part of their jobs...
>> WaPo's Erik Wemple showed up at the party and tried to ask Sanders some Q's... She said "I just don't think this is the appropriate venue..."

| | The end of NRATV?
Danny Hakim's latest for the NYT: The NRA "has shut down production at NRATV" and "severed all business with its estranged advertising firm, Ackerman McQueen, which operates NRATV, the N.R.A.'s live broadcasting media arm... While NRATV may continue to air past content, its live broadcasting will end and its on-air personalities — Ackerman employees who included Dana Loesch — will no longer be the public faces" of the organization...

Florida newsrooms team up to cover climate crisis
Via An Phung: Six Florida newsrooms— The Miami Herald, South Florida Sun Sentinel, Tampa Bay Times, Palm Beach Post, Orlando Sentinel, and WLRN — are teaming up to cover the climate crisis together, NiemanLab's Laura Hazard Owen reports.
>> "A decade ago, a partnership like this would have seemed improbable. Newsrooms saw each other as rivals. We still compete — often fiercely," Tampa Bay Times exec editor Mark Katches writes. "But a new pragmatism has taken hold in newsrooms across the country. We simply can't cover the same ground that we once could. And truth be told, we're not vying for the same readers." This reminds me of the new California Reporting Project...
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
Tom Scocca joining Slate
Jared Hohlt, who became EIC of Slate about three months ago, is making a big hire: Tom Scocca. This will be a homecoming for Scocca, who wrote for Slate back in 2010. Now he is joining the publication as politics editor, according to Hohlt's Tuesday night email to employees.
"As politics editor, he will not only concentrate on further buffing Slate's reputation as a destination for top-notch political and legal analysis, but he will also be seeking new reporting opportunities, with new voices, wherever he and we find them," Hohlt says. His website Hmm Daily will stop publishing new stories later this summer, but Scocca will still write and deliver a weekly newsletter to subscribers every Tuesday...
David Bohrman consulting at CBS
Susan Zirinsky announced two additions and some other changes at CBS News with an eye toward special election coverage: In an internal memo on Tuesday, She said CNN vet Renee Cullen is the news division's new creative director, "freshening the look and design of our shows and special events, including Washington coverage..." Cullen will be in the director's chair for big events...
And David Bohrman, a TV news icon who's worked all across the industry, including CNN, "has joined as a consultant to CBS News -- with an innovative approach to elections and technology in helping tell the story," Zirinsky wrote. He had a similar title at MSNBC for the 2016 cycle. Z said "David will work with Special Events executive producer Eva Nordstrom, and Renee to re-imagine how we present our election coverage..."
Missing in Murdoch world: Jean Carroll coverage
Oliver Darcy emails: Just how little has Murdochworld covered E. Jean Carroll's accusation against Trump? Well, we know that the New York Post deleted its coverage, following orders from Murdoch lieutenant Col Allan. We know that WSJ has only published one story. And on Tuesday, Media Matters published a review which found that Fox allotted just over four minutes to the story between June 21 to June 24.
On Tuesday evening, though, Tucker Carlson spent some time on his show skewering Carroll while attacking the media. He played what he called were "wacky soundbites from someone trying to sell a book..."
>> Think about this: It's entirely possible that those who only consume news from Murdoch-owned properties have not even heard about the allegation...
WaPo's new editorial
"Just as we cannot ignore the disdain for the truth and the law that defines this administration simply because we have grown to expect it, we cannot ignore an allegation of sexual assault against the president simply because others have come before it," the Post's editorial board wrote Tuesday. "The United States still has to function with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office, but greeting the grossest abuses as routine veers too close to treating them as acceptable. At the least, the country must do for Ms. Carroll what the president will not: Listen to her."
COMING UP ON WEDNESDAY...
Will Dems take Facebook to task for Pelosi video?
Donie O'Sullivan emails: On Wednesday I'll be covering a House hearing on social media and its role in misinformation and terrorism. It'll be the first time House Democrats get to publicly question Facebook since the doctored Nancy Pelosi video went viral. Representing Facebook is Monika Bickert... who already faced some tough Q's from our own Anderson Cooper about why FB refused to take down the Pelosi video. Here is the line up...
Sen. Markey wants tough penalties for Google and YouTube over kids' content
CNN's Brian Fung writes: Ed Markey wants the FTC to "crack down on Google and YouTube over its handling of videos aimed at children." In a letter on Tuesday, he called for regulators to impose tough requirements on YouTube that "put children's wellbeing first." Bloomberg and The Verge have details here...
Hamby: Can the Dems "win back the internet?"
"A decade after Barack Obama's campaign was heralded for its digital savvy around data and email marketing, Trump-era conservatives are now the ascendant political force of the networked internet," Peter Hamby writes in his latest for VF. "As progressives cling to the quaint idea that political fights can be won with facts and reason, or that regulators will find a way to take on the Big Tech platforms, right-wing voices have cracked open the emotional code of social media and hijacked it for political gain."
Hamby's piece is about whether Dems can "win back the internet." Key quote from former Obama fund-raiser Shomik Dutta, a co-founder of Higher Ground Labs, which invests in progressive tech startups: "Democrats are largely still relying on traditional media outlets to put their stories out. It's not going to work. Right-wing websites and MAGA people are very good at flooding networks with lots of content all the time, and those networks have biases towards outrage and fear and anger and disgust. We have to learn how to cope with those things."

YouTube and the trans community
Kaya Yurieff emails: As Pride month comes to a close, I spoke with more than half a dozen transgender creators on YouTube about their experiences on the platform, and some of the hurdles they've faced along the way, including their videos being demonetized and age restricted. The major theme: creators want transparency from YouTube about what's going on, not a vague message saying they violated one of its "Community Guidelines." Read on...
A new plan for Verizon Media
Michelle Toh reports from Hong Kong: Six months ago, Verizon declared that its media brands were virtually worthless. In January, the division cut 7% of its workforce. Now Verizon is trying to remake the business. I sat down with Verizon Media CEO Guru Gowrappan to discuss the company's path forward, its new name ("Oath didn't mean a lot as a brand," he admitted), and what it all means for brands like Yahoo, HuffPost and TechCrunch.
Gowrappan said he's done cutting jobs, and has a bold plan: Five years from now, he hopes Verizon Media will have diversified enough to gain revenue equally from three buckets: ad sales, subscriptions and transactions...

| | "The Office" off Netflix in 2021
As expected, NBCUniversal is moving "The Office" from Netflix to its own in-the-works streaming service. NBC decided to announce the move on Tuesday... It will take effect in 2021... And NBC's streamer will have "exclusive domestic streaming rights" for five years.
"A person familiar with the negotiations said Netflix made an offer to keep it, but the offer was rejected. Netflix was willing to pay up to $90 million a year for the rights, but NBC topped that offer and will pay $100 million," CNBC's Alex Sherman reports...
>> Janko Roettgers' tweet hits the nail on the head: "'The Office' is like comfort food, I get why people rewatch it a lot. But will they really subscribe to another service just for it? Or is it more of a habit... you eat it because it's in front of you?"
>> Big picture via Peter Kafka: "Many of Netflix's most popular TV shows and movies will be leaving over the next few years, and will end up on rival streaming services owned by Disney, Comcast and AT&T." But Netflix has been planning for this moment for many years...
>> Counter-programming, Steve Carell edition: Jill Disis' story for CNN Business notes that Netflix already ordered a "new show called 'Space Force' that stars Carell and will be created by TV developer and producer Greg Daniels -- the man who adapted 'The Office' for American television..."

The Senate is expected to pass its version of the bill swiftly, though it's unclear if Democrats and Republicans will be able to agree on a spending package that can be signed into law before the July Fourth recess starts at week's end.

Mueller was served with a subpoena after the Democratic-led committees and the former special counsel failed to agree on terms for his voluntary public testimony. "Americans have demanded to hear directly from the special counsel so they can understand what he and his team examined, uncovered, and determined about Russia's attack on our democracy, the Trump campaign's acceptance and use of that help, and President Trump and his associates' obstruction of the investigation into that attack," Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in a joint statement.

Migrant kids returned to 'horrific' border campThe U.S. Customs and Border Protection moved more than 100 migrant children back to a remote Texas facility described as having "unconscionable" conditions. Human rights groups said children had no access to soap and were only allowed infrequent showers during multiple weeks of detainment. Six migrant children held by the government have died in its custody since late 2018. More: Headlines from around the worldHassan Rouhani derided the White House as being "afflicted by mental retardation" for sanctions targeting Iran's supreme leader.

The CBP, however, has moved 100 children back to the same location that triggered the controversy.

| محققو الشرطة يكشفون لغزًا صادمًا عن السبب الحقيقي لوفاة مايكل جاكسون Posted: 25 Jun 2019 05:15 AM PDT كشف رجال الشرطة الذي حققوا في وفاة نجم البوب مايكل جاكسون، أن جسمه كان يحتوي على جرعات كبيرة من عقار "بروبوفول" وهو مسكن للآلام قوي للغاية، مشيرين إلى أن هذه الجرعات تكفي لقتل حيوان وحيد القرن. ووفقًا لما نشرته صحيفة "ذا صن"، فإن هذه الدعاوى جاءت من ضباط الشرطة الذين تم استدعاؤهم لقصر مايكل في لوس أنجلوس، حيث توفي هناك، بهدف صنع فيلم وثائقي عن وفاته، وكشفوا أنهم ُصدموا من الجرعات الكبيرة من العقار الموجودة بجسمه. وقال ستيف شيفر، أستاذ التخدير في جامعة ستانفورد، إن الدكتور كونراد موراي الطبيب الخاص بالنجم أعطاه جرعات مميتة من الدواء. وأضاف أنه كان يضيف عقار "البروبوفول" لمحاليل الملح حتى لا يكشف أي شخص ذلك. وكشف شيفر أيضًا، أن نجم البوب كان مخدرًا بشكل كامل وطريح الفراش، وكان لا يستطيع التنفس من تلقاء نفسه أثناء رعاية دكتور موراي له. وفي الخامس والعشرين من يوينو 2009، توفي مايكل جاكسون، بسبب التسمم الحاد بالبروبوفول والبنزوديازيبين في منزله في هولمبي هيلز، بلوس أنجلوس. وكان مايكل قبل وفاته قد أدمن عقار بروبوفول، واستأجر مجموعة من الأطباء الشخصيين من أجل حقنه بعقارات تساعده على النوم. وخرج الضباط الثلاثة أورلاندو مارتينيز ودان مايرز وسكوت سميث عن صمتهم في الفيلم الوثائقي الخاص بمايكل جاكسون، وكشفوا عن الساعات المؤلمة الأخيرة في حياة نجم البوب. ويُظهر الفيلم الوثائقي صورًا من داخل غرفة العلاج بمنزل مايكل جاكسون وحقيبة الدكتور موراي المليئة بالمخدرات. وبعد وفاة مايكل جاكسون، ادعى موراي أنه وجد النجم لا يتنفس ونبضه ضعيف للغاية وقام بعمل إنعاش لقلبه ولكن دون جدوى. وفي عام 2011 أدين دكتور موراي، بالقتل غير العمد وقضى سنتين في السجن، وخلال محاكمة موراي، قال فريق الادعاء إنه "كان طبيبًا غير مسؤول ويستخدم مخدر البروبوفول دون ضمانات مناسبة"، ولكن ادعاءات الضباط الثلاثة ستقلب مسار القضية.

| A drug megamerger that’s patently interesting Posted: 25 Jun 2019 01:54 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  AbbVie's Botox Shot An increasingly aging America is going to need a lot of Humira for its many inflammations and Botox for its wrinkling faces. Very soon one company will be in prime position to reap much of that windfall – for a few years, at least. Humira maker AbbVie Inc. is paying $63 billion to buy Botox maker Allergan Plc, the companies said today. Humira is the world's best-selling drug, at about $20 billion in sales per year. But despite the best efforts of its genius patent lawyers, AbbVie's exclusive rights to Humira will expire in 2023, notes Joe Nocera. Botox, meanwhile, will never lose patent protection, because it is not patented. It turns out Allergan's patent lawyers are even smarter than AbbVie's; they invented the Mohawk Tribe Gambit after all. They also trademarked Botox – and trademarks, Joe writes, are forever, just like those wrinkles that come back when the Botox wears off or "Macarena" once it gets in your head. The trouble is that Botox only had $2.5 billion in sales last year; that's expected to rise to nearly $5 billion by the time Humira protection ends, but that growth will be slowing, notes Max Nisen.  And as mathematics and the chart above make clear, $2.5 billion is less than $20 billion. So buying Allergan won't be nearly enough to patch AbbVie's Humira-sized hole, and Max says its future is still cloudy. Maybe that's why AbbVie stock tumbled 16% at one point today. More Bond Madness Let's say I want to borrow money from you, and I want to take 100 years to pay you back. What sort of interest rate would you charge me? Probably infinity interest, yes? If I were the government of Austria, then the bond market would today charge me just 1.2%, observes Marcus Ashworth. That is wild! We talked yesterday about how the quest for yield in a Fed-squeezed financial universe is driving investors to take ever-bigger risks. Marcus points out this pressure is warping super-safe assets too. Austrian 100-year bond yields aren't the only interest rates falling. U.S. mortgage rates are down too, which you would think would boost the housing market. Instead, housing sales and prices keep disappointing, notes Robert Burgess. That is a troubling sign for the whole economy. Iran Tensions Enter Name-Calling Phase The U.S.-Iran Tension Meter ticked up another notch today, from Threat Level YOU Get a Sanction, YOU Get a Sanction to Threat Level Your President Is Disturbed. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani diagnosed U.S. President Donald Trump's administration with having a "mental disorder," and Trump responded by warning of the potential for "overwhelming force." This comes after Trump levied more sanctions on Iran's regime (but not Rouhani, in a backhanded dis) in response to Iran shooting down an American drone, among other provocations. Contra Rouhani, Bobby Ghosh writes Trump's sanctions are actually much smarter than military confrontation. Iran may think it can hold out for Trump's ouster, but during that wait its economy will suffer deeply. The risk is that an Iran unable to export oil for a long time will be ever more inclined to threaten the safe passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, notes David Fickling. This would not only ratchet up military risks but also possibly oil prices, just in time for the 2020 election. Escape From New York New York City may still be a cesspool in places – hello, Penn Station – but it has enjoyed a pretty nice couple of decades of relatively low crime and strong income growth. But this era has also led to surging rents and inequality, notes Noah Smith. And these problems have triggered a backlash that carries the seeds of stagnating population growth. Further New York Reading: The city's most common professions are what you'd expect they'd be. The same goes for Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle. – Justin Fox Telltale Charts Slowly dumping U.S. dollars and buying gold looks like a good bet so far for Russia, notes Leonid Bershidsky.  Further Reading The Trump administration's rule pushing hospitals to reveal medical costs won't cut those costs alone but it's a good and necessary start. – Bloomberg's editorial board Republicans should push for a carbon tax, if only to fend off even more radical climate-change ideas from the left. – Karl Smith Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt both plan to slash corporate taxes; Ireland and other neighbors won't be pleased. – Lionel Laurent The seldom-seen Larry Page either needs to get more engaged as Alphabet Inc. CEO or give somebody else the job. – Shira Ovide Here's how to make the G-20 relevant. – Mohamed El-Erian A summer reading list. – Scott Duke Kominers Just because some animals haven't evolved adorable puppy-dog eyes doesn't make them any less valuable. – Faye Flam ICYMI Another Kushner property is in trouble. Natixis's H2O Funds keep hemorrhaging money. Wayfair Inc. workers plan walkout to protest the company selling to migrant camps. Kickers I'm not crying about Gritty delivering a prosthetic to a seven-year-old boy, YOU are. (h/t Scott Kominers) Signs of Parkinson's might show up in the brain decades before the disease's onset.

| More than half of Canadians think politicians "can’t be trusted" Posted: 25 Jun 2019 01:45 PM PDT | 🏠 Feeling a little tense about jumping into the housing market? You’re not alone. An interesting poll in advance of the upcoming federal election asked Canadians their opinions on everything from why they think politicians run for office to how they feel about would-be elected officials having had a career outside of politics. Gender Equality Minister Maryam Monsef said the approved projects include events, activities and creative works organized by First Nations, friendship centres and social-service agencies that help Indigenous people. “How great would it be to see solar panels on every school, more energy-efficient windows, better lighting, better heating and cooling systems?" said Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. Ontario's only legal retailer of recreational cannabis was the single most complained about government organization in the province of the past fiscal year. 👍 You're all set. Have a great day.

| Fikra Newsletter: Messaging in Sudan, the Gulf, Palestinian Education, and via Russian NGOs in Syria Posted: 25 Jun 2019 01:00 PM PDT |  | | | | Generating Dialogue. Impacting Policy. | | | | | Sudanese communications analyst Yousra Khalil highlights how Sudan's Military Transitional Council has implemented an internet blackout to project an image of stability. Khalil argues that U.S. policymakers must be particularly aware of these messaging efforts and focus on independent outlets still promoting alternative narratives to obtain an accurate view of what is going on inside the country. Fikra Forum contributing editor Hassan Mneimneh argues that the messaging war between Qatar and the Quartet countries has created a stalemate that is only benefiting state and non-state actors looking for disunity in the Gulf. Mneimneh emphasizes how Qatari messaging has become increasingly sophisticated during the blockade, and that the blockade's efforts to minimize the reach of this messaging has been self-defeating. Palestinian academic Mohammed Dajani and Marcus Sheff, CEO of IMPACT-SE, argue that Dajani's Wasatia educational model, which emphasizes tolerance and mutual understanding, could serve as a replacement for content in the recently updated Palestinian Authority curriculum that has come under international criticism. Doctoral researcher Marika Sosnowski and analyst Paul Hastings examine Russia's use of humanitarian organizations as a means of promoting soft power inside of Syria, where the focus is on image over efficacy. Sosnowski and Hastings argue that international humanitarian organizations should exert more pressure on Russian organizations to uphold international norms.

| | تسلط محللة الاتصالات السودانية يسرا خليل الضوء على كيفية قيام المجلس العسكري الانتقالي في السودان بفرض تعتيم على الإنترنت لإظهار أن السودان ما زال في حالة استقرار، حيث يرى خليل أن صانعي السياسة في الولايات المتحدة يجب أن يكونوا مدركين بشكل خاص لتلك الرسائل. كما يجب عليهم الاستماع للأصوات المستقلة التي ما زالت تروج خطابات بديلة، وذلك للحصول على رؤية دقيقة لما يجري داخل البلاد. يقول حسن منيمنة، المحرر المساهم في منتدى فكرة، إن حرب الرسائل بين قطر ودول الرباعية، قد خلقت حالة من الجمود لا تفيد سوى الجهات الحكومية وغير الحكومية التي تبحث عن الانفصال في الخليج. كما يؤكد منيمنة على أن الرسائل القطرية قد أصبحت أكثر تطوراً خلال فترة الحصار ، وأن جهود دول الحصار للحد من مدى وصول تلك الرسائل قد باءت بالفشل. يرى كل من الأكاديمي الفلسطيني محمد الدجاني وماركوس شيف، الرئيس التنفيذي لـ "معهد رصد السلام والتسامح الثقافي في التعليم المدرسي" (IMPACT-SE)، أن نموذج التعليمي الذي يقترحه الدجاني والقائم على الوسطية والذي يؤكد على التسامح والتفاهم المتبادل، يمكن أن يكون بديلاً للمحتوى التعليمي الذي تبناه السلطة الفلسطينية والذي تم تحديثه مؤخرًا وتعرض لانتقادات دولية واسعة. تتناول المحامية وباحثة الدكتوراه ماريكا سوسنوسكي وبول هاستينغز كيفية استخدام روسيا للمنظمات الإنسانية كوسيلة لتعزيز القوة الناعم تتناول باحثة الدكتوراه ماريكا سوسنوسكي والمحلل السياسي بول هاستينغز كيفية استخدام روسيا للمنظمات الإنسانية كوسيلة لتعزيز القوة الناعمة داخل سوريا، حيث ينصب التركيز على الشكل وليس على الفعالية. وفى هذا الصدد، يرى كل من سوسنوسكي وهاستينغز أنه ينبغي على المنظمات الإنسانية الدولية ممارسة المزيد من الضغوط على المنظمات الروسية للالتزام المعايير الدولية. وكما هو الحال دائماً، نشجع مشاركاتكم في هذه النقاشات المستمرة. يرجى الكتابة لنا على البريد الألكتروني editor@fikraforum.org. تحيات حارة،
