Stephen Colbert taped a “Late Show” interview with James Talarico, a candidate in the Democratic Senate primary in Texas. But CBS lawyers intervened before the interview could air on TV. https://cnn.it/40cMltV

But we won't offer a vaccination for Covid for kids despite it being one of the most devastating illnesses of modern times..
Or admit that minimising vaccination for Covid has meant a weakening of uptake of all vaccinations

It is absolute and utter neglect to let this come this close to the wire just as the US has let most of its overseas broadcasting shutter.
And another bites the dust?
The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

What's that sound? Oh, it's the BM caving in to pressure from some supporters of racist genocide. I'm sure their chair, George Osborne, and the trustees (including the blessed Mary Beard) will be up in arms about this, right? right?
