Check out tonight's #IvoryTower 8 p.m. @WCNYPBS . Serious subjects-- warfare, monetary policy and social media ban for teens -- but I don't remember that we have laughed as much around the table.

Thanks producers, staff, @jdickerson1968, @mauriceduboistv for your good work on @CBSEveningNews. It was a strong network show with its short opening tease, strong reporting, the well-written quick Roundup and the long-form piece at the end. I will miss this show.

Frustrated with the media? Well it does make a difference: @nysfocus reported NY Health Dept. had never implemented a law to reimburse kidney donors for their expenses. After the story, the state finally did -- 3 years later! @GovKathyHochul

@WCNYPBS @SyracuseU @HamiltonCollege @suny_cortland @uticauniversity I mentioned on-air when we recorded this morning that a judge might usurp us and sure enough, not not 1 but 2 judges did!

I think the show we recorded this a.m. is better than average show; good background info on all topics. Tell me if you agree. Watch at 8 p.m. tonight or 5:30 p.m. Saturday on @WCNYPBS or streaming online after 8:30 tonight.

Syracuse Police have shut down access to its license plate surveillance data after @Central_Current showed it was not supposed to make it available. Had been searched 4.4 million times! Another example why journalism matters. centralcurrent.org/syracuse-polic…
