Crohn's into your home can be emotionally and physically
draining. I'd love to talk to patients, doctors, therapists to
highlight some of the landmines that families with Crohn's
encounter. (Like feeling guilty about a child getting Crohn's;
teens in denial of their Crohn's, how you sometimes have to
choose your Crohn's over your kids, etc ... ..)

Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 27 October
Query:
Trump bitterly accuses the news media of bias. When it comes to
social media, he goes back and forth between needing them to
amplify his message and condemning them for "censorship." Case
in point, the 60 Minutes interview. 1. Has social media been a
boon for the president or has it hurt him by "censoring" his
messages and fact-checking like regular media? 2. Trump also
claimed that social media and traditional media were
"protecting" Biden from his allegations (specifically about
Hunter Biden). Is the Democratic candidate being protected by
traditional and/or social media? 3. Finally, the Senate will
hear from Twitter, Facebook and Google CEOs tomorrow.
Republicans are going to be tough on alleged censorship and both
parties are considering repealing or rewriting Sec. 230 of the
CDA. Could repealing those protections backfire and lead major
social media companies to make more editorial decisions? Do you
think that's a good or a bad thing?
Requirements:
I'm looking for political analysts, political commentators on
the left, right and center. Looking for academics or experts in
politics, new media, social media and censorship. Please respond
to the questions above. I may also reach out for a follow-up
phone interview. Thank you!
