"The FBI’s targeting of traditional catholics, updates on the U.S-Iran war, and the Left’s continued misuse of media; this is “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” "As tensions with Iran continue to dominate news headlines, questions are growing about whether diplomacy can still deter the regime’s nuclear ambitions and aggression. "Victor Davis Hanson argues that recent events have exposed the failures of past U.S. policy toward Iran, while also highlighting deeper problems at home—from FBI investigations targeting traditional Catholics, to media bias at CBS and NBC, to Trump’s recent callout of NBC's “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. "On today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson examines the challenges facing America abroad and the institutions losing public trust at home. "

"They all lose money. They’re all overpaid if you consider market value.
"And then he started attacking Bari Weiss. “She’s completely unqualified. She wants to destroy us,” and he just attacks. And then he says, after doing all that, “I had no idea they were going to fire me. Oh my gosh.”
"Does he really—either there’s one of three explanations. " . . . More..
I consider Pelley to be in the mold of MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell.
"O’Donnell’s intense, insult‑laden monologues about Donald Trump have been widely documented and cited as emblematic of his partisan posture, with media reports quoting him calling Trump “madman” and accusing him of fabricating conversations with foreign leaders, and with HuffPost highlighting excoriating segments on specific incidents such as the Renee Good case [6] [7]. Opponents describe such rhetoric as “Trump‑Derangement” and an ethics problem; supporters say the forceful tone is a legitimate form of opinion journalism aimed at holding power to account [8] [7]."
