When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate.
They are state-run media.

ADVENT CRIES AND CHEERS
It’s kind of a mixed up season, Advent. For some, it’s already Christmas time, and celebrations begin right after Thanksgiving. For others, it’s a time of waiting and anticipation, expecting something wonderful just ahead. For me, it’s a HOSANNA season. Hosanna is a funny…

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.
