In reality, Bill here is full of shit. Biden got that ceasefire which Trump immediately upended. He did not a goddamned thing except claim he did it, which is the motive of every malignant narcissist ever. Then he started immediately discussing how to turn Palestinian land into casinos.

Ospreys are disappearing along the US East Coast due to a shortage of Atlantic menhaden, a crucial food source for ospreys. One company alone harvested nearly 300 million pounds of the fish in 2024 but somehow claims they’re not at fault. 🧐

At the center of a widening crisis for one of the nation's great wildlife comebacks is a fish most Americans would hardly recognize.

Mahmoud Khalil filed a motion to reopen his case in front of the Board of Immigrations Appeals on the grounds that the process was preordained (true) and thus denied him the neutral magistrates required by due process (true) and they responded with basically “how DARE you cite the FAKE NEWS at us.”
As the primary new evidence in support of the motion, the respondent presents a May 8, 2026, New York Times article ("Article"), a May 13, 2026, affidavit from Andrea Sáenz ("Sáenz Affidavit"), a May 13, 2026, affidavit from Dana Leigh Marks ("Marks Affidavit"), and a May 14, 2026, affidavit from Ryan R. Wood. In general, a domestic media article consisting primarily of opinions with minimal (and anonymously-sourced) facts will almost never be sufficient evidence to warrant reopening. Nearly every well-known domestic media outlet operates with a particular ideological valence which must be accounted for in assessing the persuasiveness of its reporting and its evidentiary weight. See, e.g., AllSides Media Bias Chart, AllSides, https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart (last visited Sept. 25, 2026); cf. Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 316 (1974) ("The partiality of a witness... is always relevant as discrediting the witness and affecting the weight of his testimony.") (citation modified); see also, e.g., John K. Maciver Inst. for Pub. Policy,
Inc. v. Evers, 994 F.3d 602, 611 (7th Cir. 2021)(recognizing that some media outlets are traditionally viewed as conservative leaning, such as the Washington Times, Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and Washington Examiner, whereas others are viewed as liberal leaning, such as the Capitol Times, New York Times, and Huttington Post). Media coverage of judicial decisions warrants particular skepticism because it is often focused on perceived nonlegal issues rather than the applicable law and legal reasoning actually at issue before the court. See, e.g., Barry Sullivan and Christina Camody Tilley, Supreme Court Journalism: From Law to Spectacle?, 77 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 343, 343-344, 437-442 (2020) (concluding that contemporary media coverage of the Supreme Court by newspapers including the New York Times focuses primarily on the justices' presumed political and policy preferences rather than the legal issues they confront in the case before them, which can undermine public confidence in the Court as an institution). To be sure, "[a] publication can be accurate but still biased." AllSides Media Bias Chart, supra. But a publication that is (1)based on anonymous factual sourcing* supplemented by opinions of only individuals whose biases are aligned with that of the narrative of the story and who lack any firsthand knowledge of the facts at issue, (2) contains disputed facts, and (3) is clearly biased against the agency and in favor of the subject of the case warrants minimal, if any, weight, and is unlikely to be persuasive enough to warrant reopening. Further, taking action based on such an article would likely violate an Appellate Immigration Judge's ethical and professional duty to act in a neutral and detached manner. See Ethics and Professionalism Guide for Members of the Board of Immigration
Appeals,
SeC.
