CBS News has become so bad that their foreign editor, Shayndi Raice, actually told their correspondents not to run a story about Netanyahu because she knows people there and they aren’t interested in it.

I’m not saying it is an absurd and conspicuous form of vague third way apologia for someone like Jane to lump Anna (past or present) in with any form of left politics, but I’m not not saying that.

Something I said at an event last week and think I'll keep using: a commitment to good-faith dialogue does not require naivete. We are not obligated to treat sophistry with respect, or to ignore when someone declares us the enemy and tries to harm us.

Asked why they removed their arm bands, they claim it’s because they say having visible protest materials qualify as an unpermitted march (this is nonsense). Seems more likely that they’re afraid that if people see them walking down the street with Nazi armbands, they’ll get a New York hello.

Also: If Republicans want to leave abortion up to the states, why is the federal government tracking state-level abortions? Why are they tracking abortions at all? It's not like there’s a CDC program to track appendectomies.
