You're not gonna believe this but @cbsnews.com appears to not have a story about some of the largest mass protests in American history anywhere on its main page.

It's not just that the NYT chose to ignore the massive protests -- 300,000 in their city alone! -- but that the piece they *did* run on the front page about Democrats is almost cartoonishly bad in how much it whines that they're just not doing what A.G. Sulzberger LXVII wants them to do.

'No shame': UK invites private firms to compete for Gaza reconstruction contracts As Britain positions itself as key player in the rebuilding of territory devastated by Israel's genocide, MPs point to its role in its destruction

The government says it is โ€œdriving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.โ€

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough.ย Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?
