The MAGA Twitter accounts are praising Trump’s “surprise attack” in Nigeria. They compare it to George Washington’s attack against the Hessians, and say Trump likewise caught ISIS unaware because they were distracted while “celebrating Christmas.” 🤔

A great write-up that debunks Bari Weiss’s rationale for canceling the “60 Minutes” story.
In a nutshell, she cites a non-existent legal debate in the service of faux journalistic balance.

I’ve noticed that, when you talk about antisemitism, the conversation often ends up with someone like Megyn Kelly saying, “Shut up, Jew.”

Even if this were true, three hours before airtime of your network’s most-watched news program is not the time that you yank a story that has been under development for months. She’s basically denying censorship by demonstrating her incompetence.
Bari Weiss this morning on the 60 Minutes segment: "We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera."
Of course, most journalists know that oftentimes people who are the subject of negative reporting don't want to speak on camera or on the record.
