EVERYONE I know can talk about the Epstein files AND the war in Iran. The only people who don’t seem to be able to do this are CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNOW, PBS & NPR. odd.

And prefer to be politically correct do as not to upset their bosses, or alienate some of their readers.

It's usually obvious what political bend they project just by looking at the language used, how topics are covered, and how some topics were made to disappear.

Fortunately, most people can multitask on multiple newsworthy items and can clearly suss out the political agenda at work in those news boardrooms.

Most overseas media don't play by the same rules that some US media play by, fortunately.
