Scott Pelley says CBS demanded he "inject falsehoods," and wants to "murder" 60 Minutes. There's no evidence for either claim and good reason to think they're false. Pelley joins Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and Chuck Todd in spreading misinformation and then denying he had done so

As Keir Starmer and his ilk all moaned about a wheelie bin being thrown in Southampton.

Another gang of usual suspects were jailed for gang raping a 14yr old girl for 4 years!

They all took turns raping this 1 child for 4 years!

Get them all out!

@FrankSnow2 @Heritage @RealEJAntoni How is your knowledge of the tax code?

In May 2016 David Samuels published a New York Times Magazine profile of Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes in which Rhodes openly described how the administration manufactured a media echo chamber to sell the Iran nuclear deal. Rhodes, in his own words: "The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That's a sea change. They literally know nothing."

He acknowledged that the public timeline the administration gave for the negotiations (starting after Rouhani's 2013 election) was itself a fabrication crafted for domestic political consumption, and he described a network of think-tank experts and reporters recruited to amplify approved talking points.

The $400 million cash payment flown to Tehran on pallets in foreign currency on the same day in January 2016 that four American hostages were released.

Administration officials initially denied any linkage before State Department spokesman John Kirby conceded the payment had been used as leverage.

Rhodes' admission deserved a sustained institutional reckoning inside American journalism about how foreign policy narratives get manufactured and laundered through nominally independent outlets. The actual coverage was brief, dispersed, and quickly absorbed.

The thinness of that response arguably validated his thesis.

@benduchek @ZitoSalena The Minneapolis Star Tribune used to be a shining light. It did great journalism. Then it started to become a biased platform. Started well before Trump. They have lost so much readership that today it announced it was going to become a non-profit.

@DylanByers I thought the show had falsehoods and bias before she arrived.

Her name was Dominique Moody.

She was 6 years old.

She was locked in a dog crate and starved for over a year in Charlotte NC.
She was bound in duct tape.
Wrapped in plastic.
She was bitten by rats in a home with no heat and feces in every room.
She weighed just 27 pounds when she passed away.

Her "caretakers" forced little Dominique to watch them eat, while starving her.

They made her sit in her own urine and feces until she had open wounds.

When police found her, she had multiple broken bones. Burns. Open wounds and scars across most of her body.

She lived like that for OVER A YEAR.

Police were called to the house 50 TIMES before she died.

Nothing happened.

The women who were her "caretakers" were arrested 10 PREVIOUS TIMES.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

@porterstansb The mostly peaceful George Floyd protests here in the Twin Cities were deemed to not be a health hazard even though Tim Walz considered congregating with others in your yard a crime. Good times.
