when critics of bari weiss say that she is not a journalist, we mean that literally. she does not respect or even appear to understand the values of the profession. everything for her is propaganda. www.semafor.com/article/10/1 ...

This is the same Bitch that got Refaat Alareer and some of his Family Murdered by the IDF over a Bad Joke online.

She's Scum.

Giving her a Mouthpiece is Israeli influence on American life at work.

Sick Stuff.

Sixty Minutes isn't News anymore, it's Hasbara propaganda and outright Fabrication.

OK, I will say that I do read cbsnews.com.

The "live" coverage of the Iran war is better than any other news site I regularly visit. Far better.

That aside, what she may be doing to 60 Minutes? I stopped watching that program decades ago because it was, well, for me, boring.

I am still visiting cbsnews.com, and if (when?) it eventually turns into newsmax.com, I will be looking elsewhere.

But for now the live coverage of the Iran war is better than any other site I've visited.

@#4 ... Exposing the truth is smearing Democrats. ...

How so?

Aside from one of the many unsubstantiated assertions your trolling farm seems to present.

What's it got?

... and I may be so bold as to proffer an off-topic opinion ...

One of the many reasons I often refer to this site as "august" is that the site allows such alternative, albeit brain dead, views such as those expresses in the #4 comment in this thread.

I mean, what other rationale discussion sites would let such an unsubstantiated comment just ~go by?~

Kudos to RCade.

And, speaking of Brain Dead, I am reminded of this CBS TV series that ran in 2016 ...

BrainDead
en.wikipedia.org

... BrainDead is an American political satire science fiction[1][2][3] comedy-drama television series created by Robert and Michelle King.[4] The series stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Laurel Healy, a documentary film-maker who takes a job working for her brother Luke (Danny Pino), a U.S. Senator, after the funding for her latest film falls through.

Assigned as his new constituency caseworker, she discovers that Washington, D.C. has been invaded by extraterrestrial insects which are eating the brains and taking control of people, including members of Congress and their staffers.

Much of the internal comedy of the series was that, in the altered reality of Washington, D.C. politics, only a few people noticed. ...


One quite interesting aspects of that series was that the speeches of then 2015/2016 candidate Trump were often playing on TVs in the background of the main action.

So, BrainDead... a premonition?

Elissa Slotkin has managed to make herself the victim after calling for fascist government prosecutions of everyone who disagrees with her political ideology so that they're too scared to ever work in government.

She warned young people that it was dangerous to work for criminals in government.

I read what she wrote. It was a warning against Trump and his people.

Who are criminals, who also happen to be fascist.

As a kid we watched CBS news every night with Walter Cronkite telling the truth about what was going on in the world and in DC. Now, the big money boys are turning CBS into another Fox Propaganda Outlet...
When they kill all the independent media, our democracy will certainly fall as the people will be manipulated mightily.

Has anybody ever heard Visitor_ denounce the Muslim Brotherhood?
Has anyone ever demanded Visitor_ denounce the Muslim Brotherhood because his loyalty might be there?
Didn't think so.

But Muslims have to play by different rules.
And that's how we know you're Islamophobic.

I don't know who operated the pen, hence the question. We only know for sure it wasn't Biden.

If that were still true, you'd be a democrat.

Since you didn't actually disavow the KKK. I will assume you condone their actions. You might even be one.

It's an Auto-Pen. You could train a monkey to do it.
So, how'd you figure out it wasn't Biden?

You'll never provide a serious answer because you're not capable of serious thought.

Again, where's the evidence of this?
Show us some kind of video where Biden is not able to use his hands.
Or maybe an affadavit attesting to as much.
