Lutkick and Fox News shamelessly lying to, misinforming and miseducating Americans across the nation. Presenting themselves as valuable to their fellow Americans. Meanwhile. hunting down laborers and farm workers like criminals. The widespread injustice engineered by Republicans is obscene.
That’s not how GDP works. But it is how propaganda works.

An unlabeled, 12-second video from the most recent DOJ Jeffrey Epstein files drop is circulating social media, purporting to show Epstein’s suicide in his prison cell.

But it’s actually a fake clip from 2019. Here’s how it wound up in the latest Epstein files dump.

Isn't this really the end of 60 Minutes? I'd guess the staff will resign or be fired and Weiss will fill the jobs with crazy right wing influencers, "contrarians" and Fox alums.

CBS News is dead.

You plebes just don’t understand; it’s incredibly important for the health of the institution to cater to the whims of a President with a 37% approval rating.
Okay first this is extremely funny and just as predictable. Notable, can you
Imagine what you’d have to get in a segment on CECOT to think wow, Trump comes out of this torture gulag thing looking pretty good! lol. Predictable, stupid, absurd.

People who think Bari Weiss can be embarrassed enough by this to quit don't realize that she would never have gotten this far if she were capable of embarrassment.

Worth watching 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' in any of its versions, as a reminder of what CBS has been.

Or 'The Insider,' about 60 Minutes in particular.

This is really, really bad.

The irony is, there is no way this suggestion would in any way make the story play better for the administration.

If — if! — it’s true this was pulled to appease Trump, it may backfire massively, because from the start with CECOT, as with so many things, the administration’s tactic has been to treat absolutely scandalous behavior as if it’s normal, and that’s somewhat dulled its public impact.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Will MAGA consumers replace the people lost when the media outlet shifts right? If only there were examples from which to learn.

The new Countdown Podcast drops at midnight:

Thinking he's removing it, Trump blows up the Epstein Scandal like it was that dead whale on that Oregon Beach

And why did he rename the Kennedy Center "Trump...Memorial"?

Did I miss a bulletin?

Monday pod at midnight.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.

Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

None of this is “good faith political debate,” and it’s not a coincidence that all these outlets are suddenly interested in the same “discussion” at the same time.

Treating women’s humanity like a thought exercise makes it that much easier to legislate away
