Headline: “ICE Barbie Kristi Noem’s Ugly New Attack on CBS Exposes Big Trump Scam”

Subhead:  “The network was right to edit out her lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The rest of the media should do the same.”

“If you need more evidence that there’s zero percentage in trying to appease or bargain with authoritarians, check out what happened this weekend when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem attacked CBS News for supposedly editing her Face the Nation appearance in a deceptive way. Unsurprisingly, it concerned the wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, about whom Noem and other Trump officials have lied relentlessly for months on end. . .”

Article in The New York Times by the Editorial Board, 8/31/25

Headline:  “Israel’s Gaza Media Ban Is Indefensible”

“All wars are dangerous to cover, but Gaza holds a place of its own among modern conflicts for the peril faced by journalists. Some 200 journalists have been among the estimated 63,000 people killed since the Gaza war began — an overwhelming majority killed by the Israeli military.

Headline: ‘It’s Simple Math’: CNN Anchor Shuts Down Trump Aide’s Wild Rant

Subhead:  “Sebastian Gorka got himself ruthlessly fact-checked by the network after claiming there’d been an uptick in mass shootings by transgender individuals.”

“President Donald Trump’s counterterrorism czar got into a fiery clash with a CNN anchor after he was accused of fixating on the trans identity of the Minnesota school shooter. . .”

“But network anchor Brianna Keilar said he ‘missing the bigger picture,’ pointing out that of the 32 school mass shootings that have occurred in the country since 2020, only two others were carried out by perpetrators who identified as transgender or gender-diverse. . .”

” ‘It’s simple math. Two of 32,’ Keilar responded, adding that the network ‘could not stick with your facts because they are not accurate.’

“This appeared to particularly incense Gorka, who accused CNN of making up ‘fake news’ on the spot in order to discredit his argument.  . .”

Article in New York Times by Mike Hale, 8/27/25

Headline:  “As PBS Stations Confront Cuts, American History Takes a Hit”

Subhead:   “The documentary series ‘American Experience’ begins an abbreviated schedule this week. A victim of the federal funding take-back, it has suspended production and laid off its staff.”

“The effect of the federal assault on public broadcasting in the United States has mostly been expressed in big numbers and dire forecasts: $1.1 billion taken back; the existence of more than 100 television and radio stations at risk.”

“But the cutbacks have already had one smaller, more immediate effect. WGBH, the bellwether public TV station in Boston, has laid off the 13 people who worked on the history series ‘American Experience’ and announced that no new documentaries will be produced for the show until further notice. . .”
