The 5 Towns Jewish Times

In the 1970s and 80s, there was a newsman on WABC TV in New York who began his nightly broadcasts with the words in this article’s headline. Every night he’d say, “Good evening, I’m Roger Grimsby; here now the news.” And after he said that, that is exactly what he (and his co-anchor Bill Beutel) delivered the day’s news.
Never was there a thought paid to what either newsman’s opinions or feelings were about matters in the news, or anything else for that matter. They were committed, objective, and independent news people. These men certainly held personal beliefs and convictions. But it was not their job to tell us or even hint to us what those positions were, and no one cared to know.
Dominion is planning to do the same.
THE STORY
In a statement posted to the Newsmax network’s website and aired in a video statement read by host John Tabacco on Monday, the network seeks to “clarify its news coverage and note that it has not reported as true” several claims supported by its guests and contributors.
Its statement goes on to say that the network has found “no evidence” showing that either company has manipulated election results. They did not find any evidence that the companies have any business relationship or relationships to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Venezuelan government, George Soros, “or any foreign government or entity.”

It’s a tricky subject among those close to Trump, who don’t want to draw his ire for acknowledging that he was defeated by President-elect Biden, who will take office on Jan. 20.
Trump will clearly try to maintain his relevance after he leaves office. There are a number of overlapping roles he could play in order to do that: likely candidate in 2024, a GOP “kingmaker” for that race if he does not end up running, and a major media presence.

“I would certainly expect we will continue to see him do some sort of rallies and I expect we will see him try to make news,” said GOP strategist Alex Conant. “He will certainly try to advance controversies, which he did before he was president and which there is no reason he can’t do after he has been president.”
