Cecilia Vega describes what life at 60 Minutes was like under Bari Weiss, in the weeks before CBS fired her. Short version: One of the most disastrous debuts in modern journalism history. Via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/cecilia-ve...
On a separate piece about Donald
Trump's Irag War, just three weeks into the conflict, Vega said she was told to introduce the story by saying, "Who is winning the war? Iran is totally outgunned by the United States and Israel." Vega called it an "administration talking point" used by the White House as it contended it was winning the war, which continues to rage months later without an end in sight.Finally, on a third piece about SNAP benefit cuts and poverty shot in the state of West Virginia, Vega and her team opted to tell the story "through the voices of strictly residents." Vega said she deliberately avoided interviewing experts and politicians for the piece. But Vega said she was asked why she had not either interviewed J.D. Vance or spoken to an expert about his "Hillbilly Elegy" book.
The book, Vega noted, had been published a decade before her story and was about his upbringing in Ohio, not West Virginia.

Also, an adult cannot "have sex" with a middle-schooler. That is actually called "rape"

But you have to understand that all of these stories about Republican officials being exposed as pedophiles are just a string of hundreds of coincidences.

"The media covering Trump should use the word 'corrupt' more often...it’s abundantly clear that a corrupt enterprise is operating out of WH. The media shouldn’t keep it a secret." I like this test from @markjacob.bsky.social: Will coverage convey full measure of his corruption to *casual* readers?

Uh huh
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), was a landmark United States Supreme Court decision ruling that racial segregation laws did not violate the U.S. Constitution as long as the facilities for each race were equal in quality, a doctrine that came to be known as "separate but equal".[2][3] The decision legitimized the many "Jim Crow laws" re-establishing racial segregation that had been passed in the American South after the end of the Reconstruction era in 1877.

Obama: "Today's Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to … systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of 'partisanship' rather than explicit 'racial bias.'"
