CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

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.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

The way our current press works is: GOP are given unlimited credulity. Every statement they make is seen as truth and the Dems need to address it.

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.

What a shameful question.
First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES.
Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean?
CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

Putin wanted a negotiator who “didn’t know much about Russia” and would reliably echo Putin's lines on Ukraine.
Hence the insistence that Witkoff meet Putin without U.S. government or CIA officials.
