Closing this school to expand Masterman would displace neighborhood children, supporters say

Laura W. Waring Elementary School in Spring Garden would close and its building would be modernized to house a new middle school for Masterman students beginning in 2034 under the district's proposal.

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

Closing this North Philly school would be ‘severing a lifeline’ for special-education students, supporters say

James R. Ludlow Elementary School in North Philadelphia educates a substantial population of special-education students.

And the learning environment for those students would be upturned by the school district’s recommendation to close Ludlow after next school year, teachers say.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Jesus was crucified, too James Harden's greatest supporter returns with her thoughts on the superstar's latest trade.

"Jesus, too, had to leave his “team” (the disciples) for reasons beyond his control. Yet one of these men is hailed as the Messiah while the other is smeared as a fatsuit-clad diva."

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
