I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

CBS has arrived at MAGA TV and will die in the dustpan of history.
Incredibly sad for a once venerable news network with 60 Minutes as its flagship must watch Sunday evening programming.

This is a very astute observation. I hadn't thought about Keith Kellogg, he just disappeared from the scene. It makes perfect sense that Putin would want to fainthearted guy like Witkoff doing the negotiations. 🗽

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

1931 Kiel, Germany. Rachel Posner stares at the menorah&the ominous swastika outside Nazi headquarters across the street. Looking out her window, she understands the significance of the moment. She runs & gets her box cameras&snaps the picture that decades later become a defining photo of the Shoah.

This 20 year old citizen, Mobashir was tackled, brutalized & abducted by #ICE.
"I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that’s exactly what it was,” he said.
He poses this question: If this #ICELawlessness is happening on camera, what's happening off camera?
