Pretty much all of Univision nightly news is a straightforward account of what happened and the lies being told.

We don’t have the language to describe what the US is doing in Venezuela.
An invasion? We flew in helicopters and left with the leader.
An occupation? We didn’t leave troops but our ships are parked offshore.
Regime change? Maduro is gone but his allies remain.
What is it? We’re finding out.

Can't blame them for asking the wrong question.
Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

I assume you're thinking of Friedman, who perennially writes about taxi drivers. Kristof was the NYT bureau chief in Hong Kong and Beijing, and won a Pulitzer for his reporting on Tiananmen Square.
