We had eradicated screwworm but its making its way back

Keeping these scourges at bay requires active surveillance and action

I'm surprised that he's acknowledging the virus. Meanwhile, the MAGA/MAHA nuts are outraged that he is.

More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT

The House has passed a resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran, a significant rebuke to Trump and his handling of the conflict. https://t.co/wHofsIiLjE

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Here is Nick Bilton's memo to the "60 Minutes" staff about Scott Pelley:

Team,

You should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott Pelley.

I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don't say this lightly. I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose.

What I regret most is that this situation interfered with the conversation I had hoped to have with you about Season 59 and the future of this show. I realize this is a great deal of change in a very short time, and I wouldn't pretend otherwise.

I won't relitigate the last week with you here. What I will commit to is this: My unyielding support for each of you, the journalism that you do and what we will do together going forward.

Nick

trump is rotting away and randomly falling asleep on camera so jake tapper is focusing on Joe Biden's health.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Trump appoints a totally unqualified political crony who's shown a willingness to violate ethics rules and probably the law to go after Trump's political opponents as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

A ludicrous appointment, but a very dangerous one.

Mainstream media refuses to grapple with one of the most consequential revelations of the Gaza war: Hamas & PIJ openly admitting dozens of operatives posed as journalists. It undermines countless claims the IDF targeted civilians and exposes how fake reporting from Gaza was.

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

Asserting that his opponent is bought and paid for by Israel is an interesting strategy for a candidate who had a Nazi tattoo.

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. Why aren’t all media pointing this out every time Trump makes these false assertions?
