Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

The thing about Trump is that everything with him is exactly what it looks like. We've been through this before, with anxious liberals fretting that something or other is a clever double-fakeout. It never is. It's always just the thing in itself.
Given how news cycles work and the dynamics of the Trump propaganda/conspiracy machine, I don't find it plausible that the DOJ knowingly planted fake evidence against Trump in the Epstein files so they could discredit it later.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Remember when Trump lied that the Biden administration wasn't sending all the relief money North Carolina needed?
Stein: What is typical after a storm like this is that the federal government provides about 50, 60, even 70 percent of the damages in relief dollars to help a region recover from a massive hit. So far, North Carolina has received about 11 percent.
