Channel 4 News close to examplary this evening. It pains me to point out that some people working for the broadcast partner of Bari Weiss's CBS News, the BBC, could learn a lot from Matt Frei & Anushka Asthana. But I also wonder how much 'balance' we give to obvious liars, however powerful they are.

No, arrest the murderer now. If he walks they will keep killing us.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?

JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

Farage the racist bully called a younger boy a “Paki” at school as more ex pupils come forward👇🏼

He uses his props, a waxed jacket, flat cap, cords, expensive suits, pint in hand etc to try to disguise the stench of his racism..

MSM bury the stories but let’s all make sure the stench sticks to him
Another eight pupils at Nigel Farage's school accuse him of racism.

One says he was called a "Paki" and told to "go back home" by Farage, who was three years older than him.

New names say they spoke up after being angered by Farage's denials

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Bernie Sanders: "Trump said America First.

Last I heard 60% of the people in this country are living paycheck-to-paycheck, people can't afford housing or groceries, our healthcare system is collapsing.

Maybe instead of running Venezuela, he might try to do a better job running the USA."

'It is the formal position of the US government that Greenland should be part of the US'

A clear, undisguised territorial claim against a NATO ally, and should be treated as such.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.
