We’ll never forget Jamal Khashoggi, and we advise those who care about free speech and a free press to do the same.
This is shameful behavior. Freedom of the press is and always will be one of the most important American values, one that WBNG will always uphold. A sitting president disregarding the severity of violence against journalists is despicable.

The de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of a Washington Post columnist. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are nearing a high point.

This comes on the heels of last week's 3rd Circuit court of appeals order that affirms the National Labor Relations Board order that says that the Post-Gazette must reinstate our contract that they illegally ripped up over five years ago.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Love y’all so much! ✊❤️✊❤️
May the history of the Daily News, when it is written, reflect that upon unanimous ratification of the first contract in more than three decades, the next words uttered in the Zoom call were those of street reporter Kerry Burke: “Okay, I got a homicide. I gotta go.”
