Not for nothing that a bunch of generals had to sit through a theater format explanation of how a recent change in command is due to impact them. I’m sure they remember those days as a boot Lt. a bit more fondly today than what they just sat through.

Holy shit. Pure fire from...an FCC commissioner.
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

As Democrats, we must be capable of a walking-and-chewing-gum exercise where we can be critical of our county’s shortcomings while remaining champions of our country, and patriotically so. These are not mutually exclusive, yet some find themselves too concerned with perfection to celebrate the good.
