“Right now, CBS News is on fire”
Scott Pelley: “We need adult supervision and at the moment we don’t have it. We have people who’ve been installed in these jobs who through no fault of their own have no experience in television. It’s not their fault, but they don’t know what they’re doing. There’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen at 60 Minutes or CBS News before. That is my hope, a return to sanity. A return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those things in abundance and now we don’t. We can save this. It’s possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire”
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
IDF murdering a 14-year-old Palestinian boy.
This is a good example of why Israel is so incredibly concerned about governing any negativity toward them
BREAKING:
Israel is now dropping bombs on residential buildings in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital city.
Not military bases.
Not battlefields.
Apartment blocks full of civilians.
🚨BREAKING: TRUMP JUST HAD HIS WORST MELTDOWN EVER.
Trump completely unravels when Kristen Welker challenged him on his California election claims.
Instead of providing evidence, he called her "crooked" and "stupid," attacked the press, and abruptly WALKS OUT in the middle of the interview.
She did what every journalist should do every time Trump spews his unfounded bullsh*t.
Thank you, Kristen.
South Africans are deeply frustrated and with good reason about illegal immigration and the pressure it places on already scarce opportunities.
But the real crisis is not the immigrants themselves. The root cause is our failure, over the past fifteen years, to deliver inclusive economic growth that creates enough jobs, dignity and hope for our own people.
This failure has been driven by three systemic issues we can no longer ignore:
• A collapse in the rule of law that has enabled corruption, criminality, land invasions, illegal migration, and the brazen theft of electricity and water.
• Bureaucracy and red tape that continue to strangle enterprise, deter investment and kill job creation.
• Incompetent and, in too many cases, corrupt leadership in key positions across government, state-owned enterprises and parts of the private sector.
As leaders, we must have the courage to look in the mirror and ask a difficult but necessary question: How have we allowed these conditions to take root and persist?
This question is not about blame. It is about responsibility and that is precisely why it is empowering. It places the power to change things back where it belongs: with us. We are not helpless. We are not victims of forces beyond our control. By focusing on what lies within our sphere of influence our decisions, our standards, our willingness to confront uncomfortable truths and act decisively, we can begin to reverse the damage we have helped create.
The time for self-criticism and honest reflection is now. The time for excuses has long passed. South Africa’s future will be determined by leaders who are prepared to own their part in the mess and do the hard, disciplined work required to fix it.
Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.
Mona is not a fighter.
She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.
Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.
Israel is shooting babies and carrying out pogroms in the occupied West Bank, bombing Lebanon and Gaza, and that’s just one day.
A rogue, genocidal state is on a killing spree and the only people being punished are the ones asking why their tax dollars are being used to fund it.
The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.
It was in broad daylight.
The father says:
"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."
Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.
Shocking images leaked from satellites reveal the city of Gaza completely wiped off the face of the Earth, with not a single building left standing.
This scene must never be erased from the world’s memory.
