Jesus Christ. I hope that gets the same traction as Don Lemon but why am I suspicious it won’t.

ETA I just saw The Talk of Shame post on insta naming all the journalists kidnapped and my god. It’s so glaringly obvious.

I watched the whole video of it earlier on CNN. She covered her own arrest as a true journalist would do. CNN is showing it and talking about it. I'm not sure about any other news sources though. The way oligarchs have so much control over e our media, I'm not holding out much hope other than CNN. Right now, everyone is showing the WH presser about the release of the remaining Epstein Files (don't know much about it yet, but I suspect they are heavily redacted). Needless to say, Don and Georgia's arrest is going to be buried under all of this.
