You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

Why major US TV networks didn't show Obama's immigration address
CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox stick with hit primetime shows but viewers saw the president’s address on Spanish-language channel Univision

Library board dismissed for refusing to remove a book about a trans kid. Kudos to the board, though, for not caving to censorship. They lost this round, but retain their values.

I just remembered that records from Trump's first term become subject to FOIA on Jan. 20, 2026 through the National Archives. It'll be really interesting to see if Trump tries to stop that.

The other problem is that someone born in 1974 is not a millennial by any stretch of the imagination.
One problem with this take is the number of high profile white millennial men in the media...

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.
