Notably: I found this postcard I had occasion to use the other day to thank one of our very generous contributors to our legal fund. I’ve had it since 1989, the year I started my journalism career (in the fall of that year, as the Berlin Wall was coming down in those heady days when the least men among us might have been foolish enough to think it was the end of history). Crudely translated: “Dictatorship is shut your trap. Democracy is keep talking.” A succinct sum-up of where we are 37 years later as all sorts of walls go up in our own neighborhoods and the first part of the dictum prevail more often than the second.

My hope is that the leadership of Paramount will say to themselves, this isn’t working. We have broadcasts that almost don’t get on the air. We have respected journalists saying that there is a thumb on the scale for one political party over another. We have a broadcast that is among the most important in America. The most successful in the history of all television. It was doing great, so why are we making these changes? We need adult supervision and at the moment we don’t have it. We have people who’ve been installed in these jobs who through no fault of their own have no experience in television. They don’t know what they’re doing. And there’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen at “60 Minutes” before, or at CBS News before. So that is my hope: a return to sanity. We can save this. It’s possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News is on fire.
–From the New York Times interview with Scot Pelley, June 7, 2026.
Dennis C Rathsam says
When I grew up, my parents listened to Walter Cronkite, on CBS, & Roger Grimsly, on ABC. They told us the real news of the day, they were honest gentlemen. They didnt push Democrats or Republican candidates. They told us the news period! Today CBS NBC ABC,+ their cable affiliates are a total joke. These fools on TV now push the Democrat Partys wishes. 60mins caught lying, as did NBC & ABC. Fines for them all, & now 60 mins got rid of the cancer that was Scott Pelly, the man who speaks with a forked tongue. I saw him crying last night on TV….BOOWHO! He wasn’t crying when he had a temper tantrum, & screamed at his boss. All the bias against TRUMP, the viscous statements made by eack station, attacking the GOP & Ice. They omitted many stories to enhance the Democrats….Alas its now blown up in there faces, & the real truth is being forced out. We need journalists telling us the news of the day, not what the jackasses tell them to do.
Laurel says
Dear Mr. Trump: The freedom of the press is in our Constitution, even if it is inconvenient for you personally.
You are such a sad person, I am sometimes prompted to almost feel sorry for you.
The dude says
Look at those inflation numbers.
Dennis was just here telling us how prices are falling fast.
Of course, as with pretty much everything Dennis says, none of it was actually true.
So goes the shitty orange captain, so goes the ship.
Yeehaw!!!
Ray W. says
The monthly Consumer Price Index comprises 8 “groups” of goods and services, 211 “item strata”, i.e., “basic categories” of goods and services, and approximately 80,000 individually price-checked goods and services, all of which data is collected from some 23,000 establishments in 75 urban areas. 50,000 landlords and tenants are also surveyed
According to the May 2026 “all items” consumer price index release earlier today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, year-over-year consumer prices are up 4.2%. “Core” year-over-year CPI prices, excluding the more volatile categories of food and fuel, are up 2.9%.
Compared to April’s CPI figures, mouth-to-month prices for the large basket of goods and services are up 0.5%. Month-over month, May “core” prices are up 2.2%.
Make of this what you will.
Me?
Inflation is not falling. It isn’t even moderating. It is accelerating. 2.0% is the Fed’s target figure. 4.2% is not. There is no political perspective that explains this figure as good. Hope that the Iran War will end next week or next month or next fall is not a strategy.
My position is that the remnants of the destruction wrought by the pandemic linger. Economists continue to argue that the Fed’s policy decisions either failed us or sustained us during the harsh reality of supply-side disruptions. We will live with the effects for a decade more, until the economy is fully healed, if it is ever fully healed. One cannot simply throw $6 trillion in unfunded stimulus programs at a never before experienced problem and not expect the actions to leave no consequences.
Yes, the current administration will immediately seek to deflect attention from the disappointing CPI inflation figures. A partisan effort to highlight granular data will flourish. Medical care commodities are down 1.8%, year-over-year, some of the more pestilential partisan members of faction who wander among us will say; it is overwhelming proof, at least to them, that the administration’s policies are working.
An administration figure will continue to claim that Biden immigrants or their pets brought New World screwworms into the country no later than 2024; he just had to have done it. The flying pests had to have then magically gone dormant for at least 17 months before suddenly emerging from that dormant state.
Another administration figure will continue to claim that Strait shipping traffic is improving when, according to an IMF publication, an average of five ships per day, down from the pre-war figure of more than 100 ships per day, transited the Strait in the week ending last Sunday.
A certain vengeful and hateful and dishonest FlaglerLive commenter will repeat his mantra that egg prices have gone down and that a future of the brightest possible proportion is unveiling before our eyes, if only everyone else could see what only he can see.
