NEW from me ⁦@Telegraph⁩

Letting a censorious zealot like @Rob_Flaherty police the information Americans read makes about as much sense as letting Jeremy Corbyn officiate my bar mitzvah.

(1/xx) telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/2… Once upon a time, journalists were expected to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

In recent years, however, journalists are comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted, all while serving the interests of society’s most powerful figures.

Donald Trump spent an evening privately hosting some of the Gold Star families whose kids were killed in Biden's failed Afghanistan withdrawal

"He knew our names, he knew our kids...He took the time to honor our 13."

Late last month, the former president hosted the Gold Star families of the 13 US military members who were slain in the 2021 Kabul Airport suicide bombing.

I spoke with many about their Trump-filled evening, which went beyond their expectations.

I know that 99% of water carrying journalists will cover for Biden’s pathetic statement (which once again doesn’t even name our heroes who died) on the anniversary of the suicide binging that took out 13 American heroes and hundreds of afghans but #CA48’s @repdarrellissa is precisely on point

(1/xx) “The Biden statement is too little, too late, and predictably insincere as he neither has the courage to face these these Gold Star families nor even say the names of their sons and daughters.

“This is all a good reminder that Biden claimed as president he would be an experienced elder statesman and an uncommonly empathetic leader. It was all a lie.” — #CA48’s @repdarrellissa
