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

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
