‘60 Minutes’ Reporter Rips Into Trump In Viral Commencement Speech

Scott PelleyJournalist Scott Pelley accused President Donald Trump of “attacking” free speech and spreading “insidious fear” among the public during a commencement address at Wake Forest University.

The speech came as concerns grow over the country’s free speech rights amid Trump’s targeted attacks aimed at universities over a range of topics, including diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices and foreign students’ enrollment. Trump and Harvard University are currently embroiled in a heated legal battle over its enrollment of foreign students.

“Our sacred rule of law is under attack,” Pelley began his message. “Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses and into our private thoughts.”

The veteran CBS News reporter continued, “The fear to speak in America ... power can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives.”

Without name-dropping, Pelley went on to say that “they can make criminals heroes, and heroes criminals.”

Chicago Sun-Times confirms AI was used to create reading list of books that don’t exist

Chi paper created fake book list

Illinois’ prominent Chicago Sun-Times newspaper has confirmed that a summer reading list, which included several recommendations for books that don’t exist, was created using artificial intelligence by a freelancer who worked with one of their content partners.

Social media posts began to circulate on Tuesday criticizing the paper for allegedly using the AI software ChatGPT to generate an article with book recommendations for the upcoming summer season called “Summer reading list for 2025”. As such chatbots are known to make up information, a phenomenon often referred to as “AI hallucination”, the article contains several fake titles attached to real authors.

“I went into my library’s database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn’t fake, and it’s not,” a post on Bluesky by Book Riot editor Kelly Jensen says. “Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?”

'Do you like Hamas?' Political commentator Hasan Piker says he was stopped at airport

Hasan PikePopular online political commentator Hasan Piker was stopped and questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Chicago as he was returning to the United States from France, Piker said on his Twitch broadcast on Monday.

A U.S. citizen born in New Jersey, Piker has 2.8 million followers on Twitch and is a prominent leftist political commentator. On Monday, he said he was taken to a private room inside Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Sunday.

He said he was questioned about his political views and his political commentary on his social media accounts. Piker said that he was stopped for questioning despite being enrolled in the government's Global Entry program, which normally expedites re-entry to the United States.

"They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently,” Piker said. "(The agent) kept saying stuff like, 'Do you like Hamas? Do you support Hamas? Do you think Hamas is a terror group or a resistance group?'”

NPR and PBS push back against Trump’s order to cut funding: ‘This could be devastating’

NPR and PBS fight back

The heads of embattled US public broadcasters, National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), defended themselves against efforts by the Trump administration to cut off taxpayer funding, with both telling a Sunday political talk show they were looking at legal options.

PBS’s chief executive, Paula Kerger, told CBS News’s Face the Nation that Republican-led threats to withdraw federal funding from public broadcasters had been around for decades but are “different this time”.

Kerger said: “They’re coming after us on many different ways … we have never seen a circumstance like this, and obviously we’re going to be pushing back very hard, because what’s at risk are our stations, our public television, our public radio stations across the country.”

TVNL Comment:  Only favorable lies are to be allowed. Loyalty above all, not truth, not verifiable information.  First Amendment, Mr.T.  It guarantees freedom of the press, not adoration from the bullied.

Trump signs executive order to cut funding for public broadcasters

Trmp cuts funds for pbs and npr

Donald Trump has signed an executive order that seeks to cut public funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, accusing them of leftwing bias.

The order, signed late on Thursday, directs the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which sends funds to NPR and PBS, to “cease federal funding” for the two outlets.

“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” the order says.

“At the very least, Americans have the right to expect that if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting at all, they fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news coverage.

Maggie Haberman Warns How Donald Trump’s About To Ramp Things Up. And Not In A Good Way.

Maggie HabermanThe New York Times’ Maggie Haberman said that while the pace of activity of Donald Trump’s White House in his early days back in office has slowed in recent weeks, she expects a new wave of aggressive action from the president soon.

“I think it will ramp up again,” Haberman told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday during a segment marking the 100th day of Trump’s second term.

Trump returned to office with a clear plan “for certain things,” she noted.

“Clearly, trade has not been some well-thought-out plan, but on immigration it absolutely was,” Haberman continued. “On a number of the executive orders he’s taken, and executive actions he’s done, it absolutely was.”
