They apparently fired an employee because he might have been a Trump supporter:

From my perspective, they appear to be brazenly anti-Trump in all they do.
If it were up to me, I would yank their broadcast license(s). Same applies to ALL of the biased media.

Bombing Another Wedding
Afghan officials are promising an investigation after a Thursday airstrike in the Kandahar Province killed at least four civilians, including women and children, and wounded eight others. Indications are that this was an Afghan military airstrike.
The officials say they were targeting Taliban militants in the area, but ended up hitting a wedding procession at a nearby village. They claimed the Taliban were “mixed up with the villagers,” though this doesn’t make sense as the airstrike was called in during a Taliban offensive against Afghan troops.
Other Afghan officials claimed that the Taliban were “hiding in people’s houses,” when the airstrike happened, which makes even less sense, since the slain civilians weren’t in houses, they were in an outdoor wedding procession.

If they are this careless-callous-stupid-whatever, we should neither be arming nor defending them.
Get the US out of Afghanistan. We never had ANY business being there. The bin Laden myth is just that - a myth, and the people of Afghanistan shouldn't have to die because of our foreign policy delusions.

Google's Delusions
A former Google boss has launched a withering attack on the firm, calling technology giants deluded.
Jessica Powell said she had become tired of defending the company in her role as its top PR chief.
"This is an industry that takes itself far too seriously, and its own responsibility not seriously enough," she added.
"I want Silicon Valley to end the self-delusion and either fess up to the reality we are creating, or live up to the vision we market to the world each day. Because if you’re going to tell people you’re their savior, you better be ready to be held to a higher standard."
Miss Powell, 40, launched her searing criticism in an essay and satirical novel, both published this week, which together paint a damning portrait of the Silicon Valley culture.
She said: "We go about saying that we’re building these amazing things and doing great things for the world but we’re also causing a lot of serious problems."

License To Kill ???
The UK's version of the FBI apparently had a license to torture and/or kill terror suspects:
Britain’s domestic security service MI5 has been operating under a secret policy that allows its agents to commit serious crimes during counter-terrorism operations in the UK, a court in London has heard.
The limits on that policy remain secret, with the result that it is unclear whether agents have sheltered under it while committing murder or acts of torture, the court was told.

This reminds me of the FBI, which is alleged to have allowed informants to commit serious crimes in exchange for information used to prosecute their rivals.
What a wonderful world.

Are we becoming one of the "shithole countries"? It sure looks that way.

Wind Farms Will CAUSE Global Warming
When it comes to energy production, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, unfortunately.
As the world begins its large-scale transition toward low-carbon energy sources, it is vital that the pros and cons of each type are well understood and the environmental impacts of renewable energy, small as they may be in comparison to coal and gas, are considered.
In two papers - published today in the journals Environmental Research Letters and Joule - Harvard University researchers find that the transition to wind or solar power in the U.S. would require five to 20 times more land than previously thought, and, if such large-scale wind farms were built, would warm average surface temperatures over the continental U.S. by 0.24 degrees Celsius.

By the way, hydropower has its own problems:
https://www.americanrivers.org/threats-solutions/energy-development/hydropower-climate-change/
And nuke power is a disaster.
So what's left? Solar power ... but I think a comprehensive assessment of its impact would reveal that it will warm the planet, too.
We need to decide as a species what our sources of energy will be and how that energy will be used. Every action and inaction has consequences for all of us.
Ignoring the needs of the poor while the rich fly over their heads in private jets just ain't gonna cut it anymore.

Rage Of The Left ???
"This is what democracy looks like!" protesters shouted outside the Supreme Court, voicing their opposition to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court but somehow speaking for everyone on every side on a day of passion, chaos and consequence.

Is it? Here is what the US Constitution says:
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I don't see any "peaceful assembly", do you? And where are the petitions for "redress of grievances"? All I see are screaming, angry disruptors - a veritable rabble coming close to violent confrontation with our elected officials.
I think this is the very reason the Founders did NOT create a "democracy" when they formed our government. They created a "republic", and few in the MSM or the public seem to know the difference. The people do not choose members of the Supreme Court, nor do the clowns in Hollywood. The President does, with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Put them all in jail. They clearly are violating the RICO Statute.
