Whether it’s tax policy, subsidies, or regulatory capture, the pattern is hard to ignore, and it’s exactly the kind of imbalance Batra has been warning about for years.

When money translates into access and influence, democratic accountability gets distorted, policy starts serving donors and corporations more than the public.

I hear you. It’s hard to stay engaged when the presentation feels forced and the slant is that transparent. A lot of people seem to be tuning out for the same reason, it stops feeling like reporting and starts feeling like messaging.

If their roles have changed, I’d appreciate some transparency about why. Lately, the direction of CBS News has been disappointing, and I hope you take audience trust and loyalty seriously.

As a longtime viewer, I really miss Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller. Their presence and reporting added credibility and warmth to your coverage.

A lot of platforms are rolling out age verification more broadly, either proactively or as part of global policy updates, so Australia is getting included even if it wasn’t originally on a narrow list.

@happy-traveller24.bsky.social From what I understand, it’s about complying with new or anticipated Australian regulations rather than being singled out.

There are efforts in Congress this week to push back on the administration’s actions in Venezuela, including proposed resolutions aimed at asserting war powers and requiring Congressional approval for further military engagement, but nothing final has been passed yet.

Under AUKUS, Australia, the UK and the U.S. are cooperating on defense technology and capabilities, especially submarines, but there’s no treaty clause that legally forces Australia to join in every U.S. military action anywhere.

I get your point. For many people here, the focus on releasing the Epstein files is less about confirming opinions of any one person and more about ensuring transparency, evidence, and accountability across everyone involved, which matters for the victims and for the integrity of the legal process.

That personal example is a strong illustration of how disruption can reveal policy reliance in ways normal messaging doesn’t. My point wasn’t that awareness never occurred, but that it wasn’t consistent or scalable at a broader level. Your example highlights why that nuance matters.
