Inside Bari Weiss’s Hostile Takeover of CBS News
The network’s new editor-in-chief has championed a press free from élite bias, while aligning herself with a billionaire class more willing than ever to indulge Donald Trump.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Tonight's murder show is Sara: Woman in the Shadows, on Netflix. Italian ex secret agent comes out of retirement to solve her estranged son's murder and is blackmailed into solving more crimes for an old colleague. It's coming together quite well.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
Stay warm, stay safe New York.

Dokoupil's both-sidesing of Jan6 is especially unfortunately given that @macfarlanenews.bsky.social has been relentless on the Jan6 beat.
New from @sulliview.bsky.social:

"The only way out of this hellscape is holding fast to the truth, and remembering the line from George Orwell’s 1984: 'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.'"
We need hard truths and tough reporting, not 'both-sides-equal' trash

Perhaps the most newsworthy bit in the NYT "interview" with Trump: He did tell ICE to go easy on his OWN industry and farms. The latter was pretty clear.

[He goes on to discuss the Korean plant.]

Thank God there is video and we don’t have only Kristi Noem’s lies about this - which she likely got from the agents’ supervisor. If there were no videos, as is the case with many criminal incidents, just imagine how big the lies get.

After the Trump/GOP/MAGA opening salvo on democracy in 2020, 100+ businesses crowed about not giving money to election deniers. Many of us knew it would be short-lived, a PR stunt. We were right.

However, there are just 10 companies remaining true to their word.
