Op-Ed: Why Are So Many Of Us Cowards? What are journalists willing to give up in order to retain access?

Sigh. It looks as if I'll be writing a follow-up to this:

Days before reversing his stance on releasing the Epstein files, President Donald Trump called a reporter "piggy" after she asked about his name being raised in emails sent by convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working.

And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place.

You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

CBS News has joined the ranks of state-owned or state-approved propaganda outlets in the proud tradition of Pravda, the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, Xinhua News Agency, China Central Television, and the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television. Congratulations
