In my teacher training as a grad student at Duke, the instructor would talk about "spilling" errors -- when you mistype a word as a different (but correctly spelled) word. Back in the early aughts this had just started to become a thing, but now it has become disappointingly widespread.

Don Lemon will not appear Monday on CNN This Morning as his future on the show continues to be discussed at the highest levels within the network, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Lemon, who was forced to make a groveling apology to CNN staffers on Friday after making offensive remarks about women and aging, had been scheduled to anchor This Morning alongside co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, according to a copy of the CNN anchor schedule obtained and reviewed by Confider.

But by Sunday afternoon a new on-air lineup schedule was sent out by CNN management that had the show being anchored by Harlow and Sara Sidner in New York with Collins in Poland, according to two people familiar with the matter.

“There are ongoing conversations about Don’s future,” a person familiar with the matter told Confider. “He is a constant distraction.”

CNN CEO Chris Licht rebuked Lemon on Friday for the remarks about 51-year-old Nikki Haley being past her prime, saying they had left him “disappointed.”

CNN anchor Don Lemon is slated to be back on the air Wednesday, his first appearance since making sexist remarks during CNN This Morning on Thursday, Feb. 16.

Network boss Chris Licht announced the return in a memo to employees. The message also outlined plans for Lemon to undergo “formal training” in regards to his comments about former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, CNN reports.

“I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation,” Licht wrote in the internal communication. “He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously.”

He added: “It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with … fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes.”

Jonathan Capehart quit the Washington Post editorial board after a dispute over an editorial about 2024 politics, leaving the paper with an all-white editorial board, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Capehart left the board at a time when the Post — based in a city where nearly half the population is Black — is swirling in internal discontent over the paper's leadership.

By comparison, the New York Times' 14-person editorial board has three people of color.

State of play: Since joining the Post as a member of its editorial board in 2007, Capehart has become one of the paper's most visible and influential faces.

Capehart — who remains a Post columnist, associate editor and podcaster — quit in December as a member of the board, which debates editorials that represent the views of the Post as an institution.
He was the only Black person on the board for the past 15 years.

What happened: Capehart, a Black and gay Pulitzer winner, left the board in early December after a disagreement over a Dec. 6. editorial about the runoff between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and Herschel Walker.

The Guardian has this message
The Guardian email wrote:Today, we are making an important announcement about the Guardian’s origins. I wanted you to be among the first to hear it.

I remember the moment when I learned about the Manchester Guardian’s links with enslavement. We were meeting the historians who had been commissioned by the Scott Trust, which owns the Guardian, to look into our past. Cassandra Gooptar, an expert on the history of enslaved peoples, had done some early work, and the evidence was inescapable: there was no doubt that the Guardian was founded with money partly derived from slavery, and the links were extensive. As editor-in-chief of the Guardian, I felt sick to my stomach.

It is a deeply uneasy feeling to know that one of my predecessors, John Edward Taylor, and many of his financiers, derived much of their wealth from Manchester’s cotton industry. This global trade relied on cotton plantations in the Americas that had enslaved millions of Black people forcibly transported from Africa. The great American abolitionist Frederick Douglass made the connection plain: “The price of human flesh on the Mississippi was regulated by the price of cotton in Manchester.”

The Manchester Guardian was founded in 1821 in the wake of the Peterloo massacre, with an inspiring mission arguing for the right of working people to have parliamentary representation and for the expansion of education to the poor. It was in favour of the abolition of slavery.

Yet Taylor, the founder, and most of his financial backers profited from cotton, a global industry that was reliant on the systematic enslavement of millions. One of Taylor’s backers was not only a cotton merchant but also co-owner of a sugar plantation in Jamaica where 122 people were enslaved. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that these interests may have influenced the paper’s editorial policy. In 1833, when enslavers demanded a huge payout for giving up their human “property”, a Guardian editorial supported them, arguing: “We are convinced, that no plan for the abolition of slavery could have been worthy… which was not based on the great principles of justice to the planter [that is, the enslaver] as well as to the slave.” Justice to the planter meant a share in £20m gifted by the state; justice to the slave meant only freedom, with not a penny in compensation.

These facts, laid out plainly in the Legacies of Enslavement report, published by the Scott Trust today, are horrifying. “Different times” is no excuse for chattel slavery, a crime against humanity.

We have been investigating this issue for more than two years and have spent that time tormented by big questions. How could these founders have been reformists — indeed, abolitionists — yet happily derive money from slavery? And why is there nothing about the links to slavery in the extensive histories of the Guardian?

For those of us responsible for the Guardian today, the biggest question is about now. What do we do, now that we have this knowledge? How should this information change us as an organisation?

I have discussed these questions at length with colleagues in recent months.

It is absolutely right that we apologise for our past, as the Scott Trust is doing today, and that we build relationships with descendant communities where our founders had these connections. The trust will devote funds to community programmes in Jamaica and in the Sea Islands in the US over the next decade, and will fund further research into these histories, including researching the founders of the Observer.

Meanwhile the legacy of slavery has not been felt only in the Americas. It has played a role — some say the defining role — in creating the racism and inequality that persists today, in many societies and in many industries, including in journalism. As a media organisation, the Guardian will redouble its efforts to change representation in our sector.

The Guardian can and will become more diverse. I believe diversity is a practical as well as a moral imperative for news organisations: as I wrote in 2017, “if journalists become distant from other people’s lives, they miss the story, and people don’t trust them.” Yet studies have shown that Black people constitute just 0.2% of journalists in the UK, compared with around 3% of the overall population. Britain’s media, including the Guardian, must work harder to recruit, retain and elevate people of colour into leadership roles and to create an inclusive environment.

The Guardian has long been committed to international reporting from dozens of countries. We will do more to report meaningfully on Black communities across the world. Over the next 12 months we will create new reporting roles based in the Caribbean. We will add to our teams in South America and Africa. And in the UK and US, we will hire more journalists to focus on the lives and experiences of people of colour. There are stories that aren’t being told, and the Guardian is well placed to tell them.

I’m pleased that the Scott Trust is also funding an expansion of the Guardian Foundation’s outstanding journalism bursary scheme. For several decades the scheme has supported many talented young journalists into media careers, with some holding positions at the Financial Times, the BBC, Channel 4, Bloomberg, the New York Times and the Guardian. The scheme will be expanded in the UK and be extended to our editions in the US and Australia too.

Getting more Black journalists in at entry level is important; so too is keeping them in the industry and ensuring they reach the highest levels, where representation is poor. We are therefore also allocating funding to develop a new mid-career development and leadership scheme for Black journalists.

We will be discussing these revelations, what they mean and what we intend to do about them in a live event on Thursday at 7pm BST (2pm EDT, 8pm CET). We invite all supporters to join us by signing up here. It’s important to stress that it is the Scott Trust that is financing all these initiatives, not our supporters, whose contributions will continue to fund our journalism.

Most immediately, today we launch Cotton Capital, a new journalism series covering the Guardian’s own history in the context of Britain's broader historical links with enslavement. Over the next few months, through essays, interactive journalism, video, podcasts and newsletters, we will explore this history, the politics surrounding it and the impact it still has today. We will publish a special supplement in print with our newspaper this Saturday for UK readers, including features and essays by some of the world’s best thinkers on race and history.

The writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin said: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” For the Guardian, we are facing up to, and apologising for, the fact that our founder and those who funded him drew their wealth from a practice that was a crime against humanity. In the words of the British historian David Olusoga: “Within the financial DNA of the Guardian is the stolen labour and the stolen lives of enslaved people in America, the Caribbean and South America. That fact will always be part of the Guardian.”

As we enter our third century as a news organisation, that awful history must reinforce our determination to use our journalism to expose racism, injustice and inequality, and to hold the powerful to account: to use clarity and imagination, to inspire hope.

Thank you,

Katharine Viner

Guardian owner apologises for founders’ links to transatlantic slavery
Scott Trust to invest in decade-long programme of restorative justice after academic research into newspaper’s origins

Aamna Mohdin Community affairs correspondent
Tue 28 Mar 2023 15.00 BST

The owner of the Guardian has issued an apology for the role the newspaper’s founders had in transatlantic slavery and announced a decade-long programme of restorative justice.

The Scott Trust said it expected to invest more than £10m (US$12.3m, A$18.4m), with millions dedicated specifically to descendant communities linked to the Guardian’s 19th-century founders.

It follows independent academic research commissioned in 2020 to investigate whether there was any historical connection between chattel slavery and John Edward Taylor, the journalist and cotton merchant who founded the newspaper in 1821, and the other Manchester businessmen who funded its creation.

The Scott Trust Legacies of Enslavement report, published on Tuesday, revealed that Taylor, and at least nine of his 11 backers, had links to slavery, principally through the textile industry. Taylor had multiple links through partnerships in the cotton manufacturing firm Oakden & Taylor, and the cotton merchant company Shuttleworth, Taylor & Co, which imported vast amounts of raw cotton produced by enslaved people in the Americas.

Woof. HUGE hit piece from VARIETY on Don Lemon, they went back 20 years. Haven't seen venom like this since Nikki Finke. Somebody is determined to get rid of Don Lemon, either at CNN or Discovery. This is going to sting.

Wedding bells may not be ringing for Rupert Murdoch anytime soon. According to sources close to Murdoch, the 92-year-old Fox Corporation chairman and Ann Lesley Smith, a 66-year-old former dental hygienist turned conservative radio host, have abruptly called off their engagement. Murdoch and Smith reportedly planned to marry this summer, less than a year after Murdoch finalized his divorce from his fourth wife, model-actor Jerry Hall. One source close to Murdoch said he had become increasingly uncomfortable with Smith’s outspoken evangelical views.

A spokesperson for Rupert Murdoch declined to comment.

The breakup ends a whirlwind romance that generated headlines around the world. In January, Murdoch and Smith were first photographed vacationing in Barbados. The photos captured Smith helping a shirtless Murdoch out of the ocean. In February, Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal reported that Murdoch was set to buy a $30 million, 6,500-square-foot co-op on Central Park South, which could have been his and Smith’s New York residence. In March, Murdoch announced his engagement in the pages of his New York Post. “I was very nervous. I dreaded falling in love—but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I’m happy,” he told gossip columnist Cindy Adams. Last week the Daily Mail reported that Murdoch had given Smith an 11-carat diamond engagement ring said to be worth upwards of $2.5 million.
