“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

CBS: “Broadview (IL) Police Chief Thomas Mills said that ICE agents at the detention facility have called 911 to report several incidents that turned out to be false. Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

A CBS correspondent told The Independent, “The fact that we don’t have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons’ true goal here is. And it’s not journalism.”

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

NO FARMER BAILOUT

Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to fund it. Trump’s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money.

They’ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.
