At the home of Walter Cronkite, journalists debate Israel’s existence. Also: Hurricane Milton. Are we overmedicating kids? Will Ferrell’s new doc. And much more.
If you find yourself wavering on Ta-Nehisi Coates, watch one of the many videos on YouTube about the families of dead first responders on 9/11 (police and firemen, all presumably, but falsely, white) ... then take in the following, from Coates' Between the World and Me:
“They were not human to me. Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could — with no justification — shatter my body.”
“A former CBS journalist told The Free Press that “If she was showing him specific lines of questioning in advance, that would violate journalistic standards.” If true, this statement would explain why some journalists who are considered “hard hitting”, focus on gotcha type questions that make themselves look good for tripping up their subjects. I believe people would learn a lot more if those being interviewed had a general idea of the subjects to be covered,
I did watch the interview. With exception of one statement made by Dokoupil, I thought he was quite advasrial, but fine (hints of a Dan Rather). I thought Cates handled himself well, but a less experienced person may have become rattled. I am stunned by the criticism of Gayle King and think it reflects those who favor an advaarial approach that makes sure the questioner demands some of the limelight and informing the audience is less important.
Dokoupil committed a grave crime. The crime of blasphemy. To SJWs, Coates is a god. One does not ask questions of a god. You get down on your knees and worship a god. Dokoupil failed to workship Coates. That is a grave crime to SJWs.
“There are some people at CBS who think that “Israel’s existence as a state should be part of fair conversation,” said one CBS source. Can you imagine journalists having that conversation about any other country?”
Please call for CBS to release the FULL, UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEW WITH KAMALA. By full I mean no edits and no voiceovers. Also they must say if Kamala was given the topics and or the questions in advance.
Are there fewer homicides in Philadelphia simply because of changes in the way these are documented/reported? It wouldn't be the first time a city/journalist/FBI lie about how awful things are.
There is one major underlying fault in the argument The Free Press makes against CBS and their actions. That is the assumption that they (as well as most of the legacy press) are actually journalists with unbiased objectivity.
Ta-Nehisi Coates might be the most privileged person in America.
Not only is he above criticism, he's above being asked meaningful questions. Anyone who does that is forced into re-education!!
Coates drips with hypocrisy His career success began with making the case for reparations. The case is ENTIRELY based on history. But in the case of Israel, the history doesn't matter.
Indeed, if one looked at the history, it is Palestinians who'd need pay Israel reparations. Started 5 wars, multiple intifadas, thousands of terror attacks. Good luck putting a $ figure on that, it'd be massive.
Let’s talk about Kamala Harris’ husband Emhoff. First there was the story about getting the kids nanny or teacher pregnant, and now we have the story about him physically assaulting his girlfriend because he thought she was flirting.
Let's not talk about it. He's not running for anything, and if his wife is elected she, not he, will ruin the country. Let's keep focused on what's important.
My prediction: Wendy McMahon of CBS News will be fired ... and Katherine Maher of NPR will be hired to replace her.

The feeling's mututal, "Ta-Nehisi." The only difference is, you've earned it.

Peter — Remember, these people are racked by guilt over what they _really_ think about black people.

Duh! The United States, of course!
Rothschilds??? Too smart for their own good, but good they did.

TDS destroys brains, credibility, ethics, rules, laws.
I guess Trump really is the most powerful force on earth.
CBS , why doesn’t FP set up a debate between Hughes and Coates

Wow! Good news: Philadelphia recorded only half as many murders this year compared to last year. Zero murders is good news. Half as many is not.

Please cover the editing issues with the Harris 60 Minutes interview.
Not sure the editors read comments, but you can send requrests to tips@thefp.com
Maybe Elon wants to buy CBS?
Wow! Watch out folks! If Israel sneezes, she will be accused of creating Hurricane Milton.

Beyond that he was a sexist pig at the law firm.

But he loooooves women. And he’s redefining masculinity.

I presume "ruin" instead of "run" was intentional?
It shows her choices.
