Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international anchor and a fixture of the 24/7 news network for more than four decades, plans to leave the company next June.

“After more than 43 years at CNN, Christiane has decided that the time is right to begin a new chapter,” Mark Thompson, CNN’s chief executive, said in a letter to newsroom employees that was obtained by NBC News.

Thompson said Amanpour, 68, plans to “scale back” her eponymous CNN International show to once a week early in 2027. “The program will conclude in May,” Thompson added, “and she will leave CNN at the end of June.”

“We need to hold accountable the people and institutions who stole billions of our taxpayer dollars and weaponized the government against its people,” she said.

MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian was caught spreading fake news about FBI Director Kash Patel on live television Wednesday, adding to a long history of peddling propaganda such as the debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

MS Now’s Peter Alexander paused his show Wednesday, announcing FBI Director Kash Patel “landed in Russia for a meeting scheduled to take place there. That’s according to two people familiar with the matter.”


MS Now’s Ken Dilanian joined, telling Alexander, “We don’t know what Kash Patel’s doing in Russia, and that’s one of the things concerning our FBI sources.”

The only problem with this scoop is that it was entirely false. Less than three hours after providing this breaking scoop, Dilanian was back on the network apologizing for the fake news, Mediate reported.
...
Dilanian, like many others of the propaganda press, has a record of publishing dubiously sourced claims that hurt Republicans and help Democrats, with corrections coming only after the stories have shaped public debate. When the Hillary Clinton campaign commissioned the Steele dossier, a compilation of salacious rumors about then-candidate Donald Trump, during the 2016 election, the media was a key co-conspirator in what would become the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. ...

Dilanian was deeply involved in the Russia hoax. In April 2017 he and Carol Lee published a story about the June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort were also reportedly present.

“Two sources tell NBC News that Manafort’s smartphone notes from the meeting included the words ‘donations’ in close proximity to the reference to the Republican National Committee,” the report read. The report used this “evidence” to make the meeting appear more significant to investigators trying to determine if there was any collusion with Russia.

NBC News eventually issued a correction after Sen. Chuck Grassley’s team indicated the word “donation” was not present in the notes, though the outlet held that the “donor” may have been used. But as Lee Smith wrote in these pages, that “difference … nullified the thrust of the story, which was to suggest that Russia was funneling money directly to the Trump campaign.”
...
Dilanian reported in October of 2017 that Sen. Richard Burr and Sen. Mark Warner had said “they had been able to corroborate some aspects” of the Steele dossier.

But as Smith reported in these pages, “neither Burr nor Warner suggested anything of the sort.” Instead, as Smith reported, Burr said that “the committee cannot really decide the credibility of the dossier without understanding things like who paid for it, who are your sources and subsources?” Dilanian further claimed that his sources “told NBC News the committee has corroborated parts of the dossier.”
...
The day after the New York Post broke the laptop story, Dilanian swooped in with an “exclusive” spreading speculation that the laptop was “linked to a foreign intelligence operation.” ...

These days, it's hard to tell which totalitarian regime had the more intrusive rules, but you do have to give it to the East Germans — the Stasi were a far more intimidating and professional secret police, while in the United Kingdom the authorities still send rather average Bobbies to try their intimidation tactics.

A mother was referred to Prevent and visited by police at home because of her visit to Israel and her interest in“Jewish issues”.

In yet another shocking case, Holly Passmore, a mother of two from County Durham, was visited at home last July by two plain-clothes police officers who wanted to know why she had recently travelled to Israel.

The officers told Ms Passmore, who cares for her severely autistic nine-year-old son, that it was a “safeguarding issue”.

A police intelligence report seen by The Telegraph reveals that the referral said she “over-identified with the conflict between Israel and Palestine” and was “supportive of Israel to the point that she has travelled to Israel”. It also described her as having “MH” — meaning mental health — issues and being “vulnerable to negative influence”.

Three days after the visit, Ms Passmore lodged a complaint. Two more officers, including a superintendent, then came to her home.

“They said that, clearly, I’m not a terrorist,” she recalled, explaining that they were keen to reassure her that police did not consider her a threat or an extremist.

From a group of people who don't even attempt to follow the bible they sure do like to throw it in our faces a lot.  I have never quoted bible verses to anyone unless I was certain the discussion was about God in the first place and no to hurt anyone.
