I just now searched NY Times for info on Trump's illness or bruised hand or health concerns - nothing came up. They spent weeks covering Biden's age after the debate. Their bias is quite stunning.

This is telling. Normally NYT obsesses over Harvard. Remember how many Claudine Gay stories they did? But now they bury it on p 19… This was not an accident. It was intentional

Horrifying story, and yet horrifyingly understated. This is a five-alarm fire. These are war crimes. This is murder. Trump should go to prison for this. Servicemembers should have refused their orders.

Trump's never going to get to heaven like this! Tuesday's cold-blooded strike on a boat in the Caribbean that murdered 11 people has zero legal justification, but that's not the worst part. He's sending a message that a dictatorial POTUS has no limit My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

What if every legitimate news outlet resolved to share lies by politicians only if they immediately corrected the lies? What if they stopped letting lies go unchallenged? The media’s failure to defend the truth is giving a free ride to fascism.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

Fox isn't showing the Epstein victims' news conference, which is both newsworthy and compelling. MSNBC and CNN are showing it. Fox is part of the right-wing campaign to cover up the Trump-Epstein scandal. Fox is anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know.
