NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! In their own minds, the makers of broadcast network news think their mission is to hold powerful institutions accountable, to bring the facts to bear on public issues and inform the public for the most robust version of democracy. That’s not a picture that’s emerged of their coverage since Charlie Kirk was mercilessly murdered in Utah on Sept. 10.. From the first moments of authorities identifying the alleged shooter as Tyler Robinson, the networks sounded like they didn’t want to hold the suspect accountable, that they couldn’t acknowledge the emerging facts, and some…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! I’ve been reporting from the Mideast for some 25 years now. And that hackneyed cliche still works … “The more things change … The more they stay the same”. Which is not to say the three weeks we’ve stayed here this time have been dull. There have been more ups and downs than a run-down roller coaster at an old Luna Park. Our first field shoot was appropriately enough to visit released hostages and families of captives of Hamas. Because, for the majority of Israelis, this is one of the most important topics. 48 people held by…

One would expect them to reassure students that their campus remains a place for free inquiry.
