Both CNN and CBS have News divisions to be proud of. There is absolutely zero reason to oppose their prospective, cost saving merger.

If you don’t think David Ellison is going to merge CNN and CBS News operations, I’ve got a broadcast center on West 57th Street to sell you…

It is already October 7th in Israel. A day that will live in infamy. God bless the Jewish people, and remember all lost on that terrible day. And bless also the Palestinians who seek peace, and a homeland, living side by side.

The appointment of New York State Attorney General Letitia James as Special Prosecutor in the Cornell-7 gang rape case is the worst possible news for Cornell University, not to mention its generations’ old Greek life, the 50 or more participants in this disgusting crime-that-will-live-in-infamy, and most of all, for the seven named defendants in perhaps the most egregious, or certainly the most notorious college gang rape in recent history.
James is a terror on a tear now. She is a hungry politician who aspires to bigger things, like the Governorship or Senate. Just ask former Governor Andrew Cuomo how she rolls, or President Donald J. Trump, who will tell you how she cares only about her political career. “Letitia James is a corrupt person,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “I feel bad for whoever she's looking at because they won't get a fair shake.”
She campaigned for AG on the grounds that as her first order of business she would seek Trump’s indictment, She got buckets full of them, on a nebulous real estate valuation case and another on falsely categorizing payments made to Trump’s alleged mistress Stormy Daniels. James got Trump indicted and convicted in 34 felony counts that Trump will have to litigate when he leaves office, assuming he can not appeal them away.
Ambitious, even ruthless, she happens also to be on the right side in the outrageous gang rape case. So, I am putting aside my misgivings, fairly certain she will find a legal avenue to comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable in this searing case.
What makes it inexcusable is how badly it was handled when Jane Doe went to the authorities in 2024. Importantly, the victim was never interviewed by prosecutors. The local DA relied on the local police report. The cops, for their part, did a superficial, highly moralistic botch-up that effectively insured the victim would not understand the shaky legal grounds she was in, legally. The fact the prosecutor never looked the victim in the eye during those crucial early hours, never sat down face-to-face with her, is probably the reason the DA’s analysis of the victim and her complaint never received the urgency demanded.
Practically speaking, and this happens everyday in criminal law, if the District Attorney had explained New York State law to the alleged victim and explained how she may have misremembered or been too embarrassed to explain exactly what had happened this may have been a whole different story. For God’s sake she was effectively held hostage for seven hours, in and out of sleep, in and out of consciousness, helpless, exhausted, embarrassed, alone.
In anointing ruthless Ms. James, New York Governor Hochul has made probable indictments of the frat bros who wrecked their own lives as well as Jane Does'.

Bernard spent 18 of his first 21 years locked in a filthy ward for the disabled at notorious Willowbrook. We got him out on his 21st birthday. He went on to have a long career in patient advocacy. He’s now 76. Don’t we look like brothers? xxx

In selecting NY Attorney General Letitia James, as special prosecutor in the Cornell-7 rape case, NY Governor Hochul has made probable there will be indictments in this troubling case.
On a state level, James is perhaps the nation’s most aggressive and ambitious prosecutor.

Been around forever, and have read some mean spirited shit over the years on twitter. Still, the attacks on the Cornell victim disgust me.

It is inexcusable in the Cornell-7 rape case that the victim was not interviewed by prosecutors in 2024. His office relied on the police report and he never sat face-to-face with the victim. How can the DA explain why he did not feel it necessary to speak directly to the alleged victim of so grotesque an act?

[Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera]

Among other torts the victim should sue for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
If at any time she wanted to leave and was discouraged by the perpetrators, the DA should contemplate charging them with kidnapping.

The Final Battle
“This is the final battle.” We hear the President’s ominous voiceover, as the video shows him striding resolutely down a scary-looking corridor. “Final battle?” Against whom? Iran? Russia? The Houthis? What did I miss?
The President’s extraordinary, taxpayer-funded dirge was broadcast just as football fans in the Midwest watched the traditionally hapless Cleveland Browns notch a 21-18 come from behind win against the Carolina Panthers. The fact the win against Carolina was the Browns’ home opener made the improbable victory especially sweet.
In a world where anything is possible, Trump used apocryphal language to conjure the boogeymen of the boomer generation, communists, Marxists, and fascists, all evil operators seeking to inflict pain and suffering on the American people. But wait. This time it isn’t terrorists or murderers who are the targets of the President’s wrath, it is the news media.
“We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country,” he vows. “We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.” The Evil doers being targeted by this President are the ones wielding microphones and reporter’s notebooks.
On this politically quiet Sunday afternoon, as the East Coast hunkered down to weather a nasty nor-easter, the President’s unhinged attack was shocking, even for Donald Trump.
It came as he smolders over the fiasco his ongoing feud with certain news media made of his long-planned summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. For reasons unknown, but probably having to do with something he saw on television in the lead up to the state visit, President Trump expelled CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. Inevitably, the White House press corps including ABC, CBS, NBC and importantly FOX rallied to their ejected brethren, vowing to boycott all pool coverage including Xi’s red-carpet extravaganza. As I wrote at the time,
“President Trump’s ban on WH media was as badly timed as it was unconstitutional. He wanted maximum exposure of his grand summit with the Chinese leader. He ended up playing in the dark to an audience of nobody.”
My sense is that the President heard the mainstream media’s victory lap over the dearth of coverage and had enough. Rather than recite the achievements of the summit, he extended and escalated the battle against the media, ignoring or slow-walking various court orders to lift the ban and get back to work. On Friday he barred CNN reporters from boarding Air Force One which was headed to Knoxville for a high-profile football game, Tennessee against Texas.
The president treated the friendly crowd in the packed stadium with a low altitude fly over in the big, beautiful jet. On board the magnificent aircraft were ideologically appropriate reporters from Real America’s Voice and the My Pillow guy’s LindellTV. Happily, nothing of consequence happened on board.
He ended the week on Truth Social with,
FAKE NEWS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE WHITE HOUSE. IT HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG AT A TREMENDOUS COST TO OUR COUNTRY.
No president has made himself more available to the press than Donald Trump. That is the good news. The bad news is he cannot dictate the content of the news that is being reported. That is not the “final battle,” but it is worth fighting.
