Mockler: Did he ask Garland to go after someone? Trump sent a dm to Pam Bondi. This is unprecedented.

Downey: Garland, who sent the parental rights memo

Mockler: Biden, asked him to do that when?

The story is thinly sourced, fearmongering, tabloid drek. It elevates the voices of a handful of cops who happen to share The Free Press’s editorial line: hostility toward Mamdani. It’s highly unlikely that CBS would have published this before Weiss took the reins.

Would CBS News Have Run This Story a Week Ago?

Bari Weiss’s fingerprints can already be seen.

The truth is that Trump is held to a uniquely & pathetically low standard by his voters. Trump’s voters treat him like a spoiled child. He can lie, cheat, steal, personally profit off his office, etc, etc, & his voters are just fine with it. All behaviors they let no other politician get away with.

Shitty vibe reporting is not new — but its shoddy practitioners usually spell the name of person they are inaccurately sliming correctly. Breaking news: The Tiffany Network is now silver plate.

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 13h

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.
