Buried under 12 paragraphs and 4 ads is this: that an investigation into the politicization of data was conducted not by … actually reviewing any data … but just by interviewing senior officials who disliked their chief.

So more politics.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
I’m sorry but why is the head of cbs news on tv herself

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.

I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then having a distinguished career in the FBI investigating actual terrorist threats and then having to go in front of Congress and say you’re afraid of Antifa. Absolutely humiliating.
