This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

The Justice Department did not release key records in the Epstein files about a woman who made an unverified accusation against Donald Trump. In 2019, the woman said she had been sexually assaulted by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein decades earlier, when she was a minor.

This is a choice by Bezos. He can take unimaginable financial losses. He could also sell The Washington Post. I don't know what else to say except give your money to non-profit news media organizations. They will never sell you out and will spend your money on mission and not profit.

Richie Beirach was an artist whose depth of talent far exceeded his commercial stature. Here's the obituary I wrote for WRTI.

Richie Beirach, powerful and painterly jazz pianist, dies at 78
A pianist and composer who brought harmonic depth and rhythmic daring to the rangy post-1960s jazz mainstream, Richie Beirach died on Jan. 26 in Southwest Germany. He was 78.

Imagine if just by refusing to comment, you could stop any story from running. You would literally never find out anything unflattering about anybody. It amounts to asking people for their blessing to publish your reporting about them.
