Well, Walter Cronkite is legendary at CBS News, as well. Super oratory skills, etc., but under the surface he was what he was:
Cronkite, w/ CBS approval, secretly bugged a Republican committee room at the 1952 Republican Natl Convention. . . so he could learn more about the fight between Ohio Sen. Robert Taft and Dwight Eisenhower for the Republican presidential nomination.
"learn more" means, being better prepared to shape the news - the agenda.
Trump - the Defense Dept - officially offered the NG to Browser. It is her responsibility to officially request their deployment - she did not.
Testimonies, IG reports, the Defense Dept report, etc, clearly spelled out that Pres Trump asked his team in an Oval Office meeting (Jan 4th?) to authorize up to 10-20,000 National Guard troops for Jan 6th. But, in DC, either the Mayor or the Capitol Police (Pelosi is lead) had to officially then request them. No response from the Capitol, but Mayor Bowser, in writing, turned them down.
@nettermike Wasn't a big hit in our natl MSM, was it?
"The following day, Donald Trump released a statement that revealed the depth of their relationship: “He was not just my brother. He was my best friend.”"
Just imagine the special shows - documentaries - were Donald a Democrat.
God bless JW:
"In March 2019, the State of California and Los Angeles County settled a December 2017 lawsuit with Judicial Watch that resulted in the removal of more than 1.2 million names from voter rolls."
FTR - LAT never reported anything here. Big surprise.
Don't imagine this will make the newspaper, either.
At the time CA/LAC said it would take 3 yrs to pull that off. Didn't happen by 2020 election - none were removed. Then they sent them all out - unsolicited mail-in-ballots. Nursing homes, apartment bldgs, etc., received boxes full of unsolicited ballots. You think they all just got thrown in the trash?
Eighty-two years ago today, on the distant shores of Normandy, thousands of brave Americans joined Allied forces in what would become one of the most consequential military operations in history. Many of those men never returned home, but their courage changed the course of history and helped create a freer, more secure world.
D-Day is a testament to the character of a storied generation—one willing to sacrifice their futures, their dreams, and even their lives for a cause greater than themselves.
Today, please remember the heroes who stormed that beach, the call they answered, and their enduring legacy of bravery when it mattered most.
Freedom has always come at a cost. Let us solemnly honor those who paid the ultimate price.
America First, Always.
@mazemoore Massie is an interesting character, and I'm sure that in his misguided ways, he still loves our country.
But nobody loves the US more than Pres Trump.
Testimony, an IG report, the Defense Dept report, etc, clearly spelled out that Pres Trump asked his team in an Oval Office meeting (Jan 4th?) to authorize up to 10-20,000 National Guard troops for Jan 6th.

Speaking of Columbus statues:

1 wk after Speaker Pelosi said she didn't have an issue w/people tearing down statues, 49 officers were injured; 18 went to hospital while trying to protect the Columbus statue in Chicago.
Except for local news - MSM was silent.
