CNN employees, including the renowned international news anchor Christiane Amanpour, confronted network executives over what the staffers described as myriad leadership failings in coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, according to a leaked recording of a recent all-hands meeting obtained by The Intercept....
Amid widespread condemnation about Israel’s targeting of the hospital, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour asked Barak if the IDF and the Israeli government had done a “good enough job of proving their claim” that there was a “major” Hamas command center and bunker under Shifa.
Barak replied “It’s already been known for many years that they have a bunker that originally was built by Israeli constructors underneath Shifa,” which was used as a “command post” for Hamas and as a “junction of several tunnels”
“When you say it was built by Israeli engineers, did you misspeak?” asked Amanpour.
Barak, who was Israel’s prime minister from 1999 to 2001, responded, “decades ago, we were running the place, so we helped them.” The Gaza Strip has been controlled by Hamas since 2007.
“It was many decades ago…that we helped them build these bunkers in order to enable more space for the operation of the hospital within the very limited size of these compounds.”

Republican legislators and interviewers challenging the president’s son on the House majority’s behalf would throw out an allegation, often one that’s been worn smooth after tumbling around in the right-wing media universe for the past year or two. And Biden would invariably swat it away, stripping off the layers of...

I think Biden had said long ago that he wouldn’t do that no matter what; in this political environment it probably wouldn’t happen anyway.
By the way, appellate courts sit right below the U.S. Supreme Court and there are currently 13 of them.
Some legal experts argue there should be one supreme court justice per appellate court, because that was the ratio when the appellate court system was first established in 1891 – nine supreme court justices and nine appellate courts.
The fucking nurse on staff that came to help me for a few minutes was not within my network.
Oh, that’s unfortunately quite common in the States – the hospital itself might be in your network, but their own ER docs, etc. are technically contract employees who are not. So then you get out-of-network bills.
Imagine trying to sort through all this when, for example, you’re having trouble breathing and need immediate medical care.
