I’m a journalist. I’m also an Idahoan. A couple weeks ago, I stood outside my child’s school, chatting with the school nurse. As we talked, my phone buzzed. It was a call from the person behind Idaho's new law — one that limits how a school nurse can respond if measles arrives.

And now, OANN appears to be the only press allowed in the Pentagon.
One America News Network (OANN) is about to go from a media outlet known for a manical Alison Steinberg (now former host) and covering Trump rallies with endless enthusiasm to having a physical office at the Department of Defense.
The America I was raised in would be ashamed of this.

America has a free press unless they hand it over to the broligarchs.
This should be getting a lot more attention. And no journalist should sign it.

While he offered an apology, it lacked any real substance. There was no offer to make amends, no explanation for how such a vile comment about lethal injections could be made in the first place, and no genuine sign of repentance. Doeshe actually regret what he said, or just that he said it publicly?
Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."

Allowing unidentified and masked law enforcement agents to roam in patrols and take people’s freedom is a dangerous precedent.
It makes it theoretically, and as this article below argues - a reality, for civilians to copy these tactics and commit crimes.
