More pout than clout. Master of typos. I host a daily news podcast from KUOW called Seattle Now. Still a little bit New Jersey.

I’ve been watching 60 Minutes since I was eight years old.

Every Sunday, 60 Minutes.

Recently, I’ve had to turn it off. I have not always agreed with the reporting, but I have always trusted the journalistic integrity behind the reporting.

I’m sad that that’s no longer true.
CBS News abruptly removed a segment from “60 Minutes” that was to feature the stories of Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration to what the program called a “brutal” prison in El Salvador. Sharyn Alfonsi, the correspondent, criticized the network’s decision to remove her reporting.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

From @kuow.org's analysis: "Here in Washington state, mailed ballots come in daily batches. The count historically inches left with each new afternoon drop, as younger, more liberal voters tend to cast ballots later than their elders."
