I think there are some left. But they are being overruled by sleazy Directors, Editors, and other corporate types who only care about popularity and Ad revenue.
Talk about truth and professionalism in the news media: how about starting with this small matter.
Please stop referring to the witness as "Stormy Daniels". The woman's name is "Stephanie Gregory Clifford".
If you want to be a journalist and not a gossip entertainer, you can start there.

Good grief, that's rotten. But the electricians may get you going soon. I hope so.
All week I've been privately saying I expect some appellate level court to step in at the last minute, or for him to do a SCOTUS petition and they issue an emergency stay, or some other crap to delay the trial.
The unfair, preferential treatment he's received in multiple venues so far is literally unbelievable.
But if we make it through the day it appears Trump will finally sit down at a criminal trial for some of his behavior.
At least I've lived long enough to see that. 😐
@Maude
Yeah, I was waiting for her to each out and slap him a good one. 😧 😡
Wow! Watching John Bolton's interview by Nicole Wallace on MSNBC. If you didn't realize before how much of a misguided, ignorant, ass he is, you have not listened very closely.
Credit to MSNBC to let him air his views so we can all see the type of people who make up the modern Republican Party.

Cable News Blows Off Biden And Bernie Prescription Drug News But Obsesses Over A Poll
It was a classic example of cable news deciding what is news as they focused on a poll and not prescription drug news from President Biden and Sen. Sanders.

I'm big and adult enough to stand up and say that a response should be proportionate, that civilians must not become targets, that aid workers should be valued, that ethnic cleansing is a crime against humanity, that nationalism is an ideological sin, that accidents do not happen they are caused, that food and energy should not be used as weapons, that unpopular politicians crave and engineer wars, and that Netanyahu has to go.
What Biden SAYS is important.
What Biden DOES or DOESN"T DO is what matters.
@LnzyHou This is a favorite of mine also. ❤️
Stop the #polls.
It's not a horse race.
No one is "leading".
No votes have yet been cast.
These polls and their press coverage are harming #Democracy.

@0x56 Oh indeed. 👍
@0x56 Thank you for posting this.
I think this simple question is at the heart of many of our current major issues.
Should we do the right thing, even if implementation is messy?
Or is it paramount to follow the rules, even if we don't get a satisfying/fair result?
IMHO, sometimes the means should take precedence and sometimes we should just focus on the ends. It depends on the situation.
