If they would enforce it fairly that might be an improvement, but under this administration I have a strong hunch it will only apply to talk shows they dislike, like Jimmy Kimmel, and that Fox's entire primetime lineup will somehow get a pass.

The FBI Has Gained Access to the Washington Post Newsroom

New court documents claim the feds could access Slack channels, Signal chats, email, and more.

For the past year, Natanson had been covering President Trump’s reshaping of the federal government. One of her confidential sources, government contractor Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones, who previously held a top-secret security clearance, is being investigated by the FBI for an alleged national security leak.

Through her phone, the FBI gained access to Natanson’s texts and voice recordings with confidential sources, including the 1,169 new sources who wrote to her, willing to share their experience working for the federal government under Trump.

Through her work computer, the FBI obtained extensive access to the Washington Post’s operations. In a court declaration, Natanson said that the FBI now has access to her Google Drive and Proton Drive, a cloud-based service that she used to store sensitive information in encrypted form, both of which contain confidential information from sources. The FBI also has access to the Post’s content management system, which she says “provides an enormous window” into all stories in progress at The Post, and the organization’s Slack.

My god. This is fully Russian style authoritarianism.

If CBS News is reporting that, I’m not believing it.

Yeah, I canceled the day they said "We're not going to make an endorsement this year"

This gloating is deceptive, to say the least. His numbers are still well below those for the CBS Evening News a year ago, and he's still mired in third place behind ABC's World News Tonight and the NBC Nightly News. ABC's World News tonight gets 8.16 million viewers, NBC's Nightly News gets 6.68 million viewers, and poor Tony has so far gotten just 5.17 million viewers (and he also trails badly in the coveted 25-to-54 age group).

So yeah, CBS and Bari Weiss are pretty much just blowing smoke trying to make Tony's disastrous first-week debut look a little better.

Same for me.

To put things in extremely local perspective, the other week 4.8 million more people saw a stupid incoming phone call graphic that I made compared to Tony. Where's my puff piece tweet celebrating the brilliance of how I put "555" between "(404)" and "0138"?
