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?

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.
It’s a win for oligarchy.
The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

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.

60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sharply summarizes the appalling decision of Bari Weiss not to run her CECOT story: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

On this day, December 21, 1968:
The first photo taken of the whole Earth in one frame by a human from Apollo 8.
It was the first circumnavigation of the Moon by a crewed spacecraft, and the furthest humans had ever travelled away from the Earth.

A win! Thanks to everyone who spoke out. Following public backlash, Mike Lee backtracked on the National Parks proposal, which would have rescinded legislation protecting national parks and maintaining their boundaries as federal lands.

"So the president's claims that prices are falling is nonsense. The president's claim that he stopped inflation is also nonsense." Clear, testable economics beats wishful talking points.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system.
To counter Trump’s fake populism and his culture wars, progressives should mount a real battle against economic elites who have shafted America’s middle and working classes.
