Monday Musings: Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes betray the legacy of Edward R. Murrow. Royal Photos II. Of course DEI produces poor scholars and scholarship. You were expecting?

As someone who spent 30 years in the news industry, I've given up hope that it can be salvaged.
But to address the specific claims Stahl and her hand-picked "expert" make:
How many universities, LGQBT facilities or other bastions of the left have been firebombed or otherwise vandalized by right-wing terrorists the last 8 years?
More than 1,200 Catholic churches and shrines have been so attacked in the last two years in the US alone, several hundred more in Canada (over the indigenous children hoax), and hundreds of pro-life pregnancy centers in U.S.
The FBI can't seem to find any of the bombers, but they did arrest a middle-aged man who prevented a counter-protestor from attacking his kids at a pro-life rally, and then inserted undercover agents into Catholic parishes looking for "right-wing" terrorists.
Dozens, maybe hundreds of synagogues have also been vandalized - no arrests, except for a Jewish man for supposedly threatening an anti-Semite.
Murrow had the integrity to call out Hitler before WWII, true - but let's not forget the New York Times' reporters knew about the death camps and refused to report on them. (The Times also later cast doubt on reports from other outlets about the Ukraine famine after the war. It still has Pulitzers for both sets of coverage.)

Our universities have become total “safe spaces” for bad ideas. Reminds me of title of Ben Stein’s movie “No Intelligence Allowed.”
