#MarcoRubio: "The only way it ends is if #VladimirPutin comes to a negotiating table. Right now, President Trump is the only person on earth who has any chance whatsoever of bringing him to a table to see what it is he would be willing to end the war”
_____________

No, Li'l Marco. Your entire premise is wrong. The only way it ends is if #Putin gets out of #Ukraine. There isn't even any need for #Trump or #America to be involved.

The Daily Beast · Rubio Melts Down on Air Over Accusation U.S. Is ‘Placating Putin’By Maurício Alencar

President #DonaldTrump is on the #WarPath again, this time railing against the #media and publishers whose stories he doesn’t like.

#Trump took to his platform #TruthSocial ( aka the #MinistryOfPropaganda ) to suggest that any negative #press is a result of #LeftWing media attacking him for the “Best Opening Month” of presidency the U.S. has ever seen.

The Daily Beast · Trump Threatens to Sue the Media Over Stories He Doesn’t LikeBy Leigh Kimmins

Via #TheDailyBeast @ 4:32pm ET on Feb 24, 2025

As #DonaldTrump and #France’s #EmmanuelMacron today met in at the #WhiteHouse, American journalists from the #AssociatedPress (AP) were barred from the #PressConference. But some weren’t waiting long, according to a tweet from #Semafor White House Correspondent #ShelbyTalcott. The #French press corps stepped in to ensure that a #Paris-based #AP reporter could go in and ask her first question.

Honesty in #journalism.

Both #TheDailyBeast and #TheGuardian reported about the organisers response on the #olympic #drag thing.

You'd think The Guardian would be the honest one in their reporting. Instead it's The Daily Beast who, even though they color it a bit, is doing actual journalism here.

The Guardian though: putting words in the spokespersons mouth that weren't said nor even implied, drop un-sourced claims about athletes sleep etc.

#FoxNews sent a letter to #Trump & MVP #KamalaHarris’s campaigns proposing they #debate at an event the #FauxNews network would host on Sept 17 in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The letter also suggests its anchors #BretBaier & #MarthaMacCallum would moderate.

During the #Jan6 #insurrection [via #TheDailyBeast]:

Bret Baier first argued on air that “it doesn’t appear to be violent.”
“It’s not like it's a siege it doesn’t seem, it seems like they are protesting,” he further shrugged.

Frm #TheDailyBeast....(me: WTAF? They hunted them down😡)

"Dual U.S.-Can citizen was among 7 food aid workers killed in (me: BY) an Israeli strike on humanitarian convoy in Gaza, Wrld Centr Kitchen said.

"Convoy had coordinated its route thru a demilitarized zone w/ IDF & was hit 3x in succession until aid workers were all killed. After first strike, survivors reportedly sought shelter in the other vehicles which were then targeted."

@specked

Thank you for these sources and the interesting content.

In particular, #TheDailyBeast states that it could not verify the veracity of the source.
The #UN, on the other hand, confirms ("only") "sexual torture," but does not take about the recording.

Alas, my gut feeling is that the recordings are realnand some #UNWRA employees are implicated.

I side with the #EU Commission's President, #UrsulaVonDerLeyen, who states that all the #Gazans can be held hostage for the atrocious crimes

#CaitCorrain is back at it, courtesy of the white folks at #TheDailyBeast repeating the excuses despite all the available evidence, because the point is to get those clicks--and if they elevate a racist who is using mental health and medication as a cover for their #Racism, oh well.
