High-profile supporters like Hillary Clinton, Ava DuVernay and NAACP president Cornell Brooks are rallying around veteran White House correspondent April Ryan after she was scolded by Press Secretary Sean Spicer during a briefing Tuesday.
Speaking at a diversity conference organized by the Professional BusinessWomen of California on Tuesday, Clinton criticized Spicer for “patronizing” Ryan, the Washington Bureau Chief for American Urban Radio Networks.
“April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled integrity, was doing her job just this afternoon in the White House pressroom when she was patronized and cut off trying to ask a question,” said the former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Dedicated to Michael Brown Jr., Whose Streets? is an alarming and vital documentary chronicling the grassroots formation of Black Lives Matter as well as efforts in Ferguson. A narrow document of time and place, it allows the story to unfold as it did on a local level — in a clutter of confusion, tweets, and amateur video as the Ferguson Police Department show up with guns and tanks to what starts as a peaceful protest.

While Craig Atkinson’s sloppy Do Not Resist spends time on the ground in Ferguson, collecting evocative images of violence before exploring police tactics nationwide, these directors do justice to protestors who feel slighted by CNN, Fox and MSNBC. A recurring theme in the film is “we have to live here,” as the police do nothing to restore any kind of peace,...
