Jamie Raskin cracking up next to her was great, on the other hand there's nothing funny about the GOP continuing to openly state that rules are only to be enforced against a certain kind of person.

It's not a cultural thing. The BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 are all publicly owned and so their journalists are free to grill politicians so long as they don't breach certain bias laws. Privately owned news services (like Sky) are just as sycophantic as their US counterparts.

You can't get rich and you can't get famous in Britain (in general but extra so) if you do american journalism. That severely alters what sort of personality want to attempt a career in the field. Lord knows Rupert Murdoch tried to change all that but he failed, so they settled on reducing how many jobs there were for journos. I'd badly summarise it as in the US the audience don't have any power over content, while in Britain politicians don't have any power over anything. The organisations ruling media channels do in both, and the very wide BBC has both been the biggest and beyond partisan control for most of it

NPR isn't insulated from politics, though. The CPB's budget comes from Congress annually, while the funding for the BBC comes from the TV license fee. The license fee itself is mandated by a 10 year charter, which insulates the funding far more than the CPB's. Channel 4 and ITV are commercially funded.

Making newscasting even more thankless than interviewing where they aren't presenting any facts but merely asking questions directly from the source of horrible unfair laws and news. Can't libel if the bastard is cornered to admitting it themselves

Yeah, and Giuliani’s hair was wetter than the Atlantic Ocean. I feel like this could have gone “Your Honor, the target of our summons is aware that we’re looking for them and why we’re looking, and they’re posting about it in a public forum. The State of Arizona requests permission to slide into their DMs and place an advertisement in the newspaper and consider them served.”

Perhaps a bit of a weird question but does anybody know if anything big happening around Kurdistan at the moment? I was at an amusement park in the Netherlands and there were multiple teens walking around with Kurdistan flags. A cursory google search didn't turn up any major holidays and upon checking Rudaw and Kurdistan24 I saw them literally reporting about grass growing in Erbil: But perhaps this is all a coincidence and the Kurdish diaspora in the Netherlands just collectively decided today was the day to ride some roller coasters.

Mariners are easy targets. They are basically helpless and rarely have many advocates. The company doesn't give a gently caress, they just want to limit their liabilities. Foreign states have little leverage and usually don't worry themselves too much.
