The implication here is that HAD Ellison & Weiss known about the MTG segment, they would have intervened somehow- maybe even censored it-- to keep Trump happy. These folks should not have control of any news outlet, not a single one. Outrageous.
David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.
Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.

Anything that they can "Trump-proof" is a GREAT thing. The Federal Reserve matters. That is why Trump is constantly trying to undermine Chairman Powell and others.
This is huge, right? They just Trump-proofed the Fed.

One thing that's missing, IMO, is a focus on who is harmed by these pardons.

These stories should become headine features on the news and in papers. They need greater amplification by us all.
Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?
“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.”
Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

The calapse of real coverage continues at warp speed. Trump ranted today that THE NEW YORK TIMES was being seditious and should be shut down. Hardly a ripple in response.
It appears that a QAnon supporter who is a member of a QAnon outlet known as "NewsTreason 17" (whose logo is a Q & name is a reference to Q being the 17th letter of the alphabet) was "admitted" into the White House yesterday & got a White House press briefing room pass.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
