(81,960 posts)99. Thank you so much, Fla Dem.
I'm always so proud of the news media now. There are some really good people on the air these days, including CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang!

By Jove she held her own at that White House COVID briefing where trump tried to give her a hard time. MAN, she really spoke for all of us! Young, but didn't give an inch! I always enjoy Yamiche Alcindor of PBS, Jeff Mason of Reuters, Jim Acosta of CNN, and Steve Herman of VOA - used to work with him. The AP crowd is terrific but then I'm kinda biased. There's a bunch of 'em who are extremely impressive, and they don't back down! Even Jonathan Karl has found his inner backbone.

Reading this was cathartic. I hope it was for you too even though it won't stop Trump

Hmmm... worked at CNN in 1982 when its offices were in a high-rise at Sunset and Vine.
