The former president of Honduras transformed Honduras into a virtual narco-state.
He financed his political career with drug trafficking proceeds.
Used his presidential authority to pave a cocaine superhighway to the US, and Trump just set him free.

Excellent point.
But I’ll add that Weiss is a disingenuous liar who wants to control the story fed to US citizens. And to do that in service to wealthy interests that want a subservient serf class.
She will destroy the last bits of integrity that remain at CBS news.

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.
The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

On the Lyman front, a Russian assault group on motorcycles tried to break through and seize the positions of the tank crews of the 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade under the cover of fog. As a result, Ukrainian defenders tore the enemy to pieces, destroying 12 motorcyclists.

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post
