POMPOSITY OVERLOAD: Here Are the Big Moments From Pelley’s NYT Sitdown

PBS Dismisses Woke-Police Atrocity by Focusing on 'Far Right' Protests

Double standards for death at the hands of public first responders? On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz reported a reversal of a 2019 racially charged homicide conviction: "Elijah McClain's final words, "I can't breathe," foreshadowed those of George Floyd a year later and helped fuel public anger over police tactics across the nation."

On CNN Panetta Says You Can't Trust Iranian Leaders Or Trump

No matter how one may feel about President Trump and the war with Iran, an objective observer should easily be able to distinguish between the good and evil involved in the conflict, and someone, who, by their current or former position, should be aware of our recent history, should recognize the differences between this relatively short-lived conflict and previous longer wars that the U.S.…
