The l.a. sheriff department inspector general, who investigates things like this. the reason you put up the photo of those three the sheriff announced all three are subjects of a criminal investigation into how the la times reporter got that security footage. they re all the subjects of a criminal investigation now by his office. he says they re all being investigated now for possible felonies, like conspiracy and burglary and unauthorized use of a data base. he put up this list of potential crimes. all while the la times reporter was in the front row covering the press conference for this paper. while the sheriff puts up her picture as a possible perpetrator who his office is going after. this decision by the sheriff today to announce a criminal investigation into this reporter, certainly look like retaliation. the executive editor of the l.a. times put out this statement tonight citing the sheriff s attempt to criminalize news
Some distant authoritarian county, the los angeles county sheriff convened a press conference to announce he was opening a criminal investigation into an l.a. times reporter who has been reporting recently on a scandal in his office. he put up a big picture of her in the press conference as he sat there in the front row covering the press conference. the l.a. county sheriff s department s announcement it launched a criminal investigation into a journalist because of her reporting is appalling. this blatantly retaliatory conduct aimed at the la times and its reporter is beyond the pale and violates the first amendment. publishing newsworthy information about an alleged law enforcement cover up that sought to block an investigation, into the use of excessive force is constitutionally protected activity. joining us now is katie townsend, legal director at the reporter s committee for the freedom of the press. miss townsend, i appreciate you
George floyd. well, it was a reporter at the la times who published this video last month, along with reporting, alleging that the l.a. county sheriff s department, upened to and including the sheriff himself attempted to cover up the incident because they feared the negative light this incident could shed on the department. the sheriff himself has maintained that he didn t know about this until months after it happened. he says he didn t cover anything up. he said he relieved the deputy of duty immediately after he became aware of what had happened. well, yesterday that same l.a. times reporter added to the story. reporting that an l.a. county sheriff s department commander had filed a new legal claim, contesting all those denials from the sheriff. alleging specifically that the sheriff had viewed a video of the incident just five days after it occurred, not eight months later, which is what he claimed. the commander further alleges that sheriff vil know way va
everybody, nasa is preventing public comment on their eis that breaks their cleanup commitment. people want to be able to show you lou they re violating the law, and physically is physically blocking you from seeing it. free speech, free speech! free speech! this is live right now, you guys. this is crazy. they set this up in this kind of a situation where we don t have a microphone like we normally do to say our problems. and as the l.a. times the court reporter is at a little table in the corner that s not marked, trying to limit public participation, prevent the media from knowing how much we disliked the proposal and prevent officials from knowing it, too. there is a protocol for how public hearings are handled, and that s not it. the only option we have right now is to try to read our comments loudly. and that s just absurd. the majority of its contamination not cleaned up.
Food photographs kit designed. these were published back in the early 80s, by the l.a. times home aga s in. and, that s when the strange story really began. maybe it was the fact that she had been married for four years. was she bored, or maybe it was a close quarters, long hours, with the photographer for, the food she prepared. there was an affair. kit was in love. she was catholic, and consumed with guilt, and confessed at all, to her husband. she went to him and said, i ve been with another man? yes. the very night? happened that s what she told. me gregory seemed prepared to forgive. they both still swore they care deeply for each other. but, marriage is tough enough for too, there wasn t enough room for three. it was over. christmas of 1982, kid s big brother, joe o connell, saw how it was with the new guy.
It is on tape as we played there. jessica schneider, thank you very much. with us now, harry litman, former u.s. attorney, legal affairs columnist for the l.a. times, and scott jennings, cnn political commentator, usa today columnist, worked for mitch mcconnell. thanks to both of you. can the committee compel mccarthy to testify beyond the politics of this, will they? let me answer the second first because i think, jim, they will. this is a step you cannot take, i think, unless you re ready to take the next one. and everything about the committee and the letter from thompson yesterday shows they have the resolve. they are preparing to go big or go home. notwithstanding that they ll have a legal fight on their hands, and notwithstanding that mccarthy promised all manner of petty retribution should he go in the speaker s house when in the speaker s seat when there
Standards i will demand for all court appointments. it s time for a woman to sit among our highist jurists. and why did ronald reagan do that? politics. sue spencer was reagan s chief strategist, telling the l.a. times reagan s support with women was slipping in 1980, in part because of his opposition to abortion rights and the proposed equal rights amendment. and i quote here, it was not an ideological decision at all. going on to say it was all about, quote, seeking a solution to his deficit problem with women. so the reason ronald reagan chose a woman justice is because he had a problem with female voters. that is politics. listen again. i m announcing today that one of the first supreme court vacancies in my administration will be filled by the most qualified woman i can possibly find. if i m elected president, i have an opportunity to appoint someone to the courts, i ll
When black americans are still dealing with the legacy of jim crow and enslavement and systemic oppression. and yet race is a social construct. and it shows up differently in different societies. and so, again, if we look back to germany, the nazis believe that they were the master race and jews were a subhuman race. jews an inferior race. that s what they believed. and they waged a wore of extermination against the jewish people because of this belief in race. that s undeniable. it s what happened. i want to get through a lot here. and i don t want to be rude. but i just want to get through a lot because i have a lot of questions to ask you, because i do think this is a teachable moment. you said you stand in support of whoopi because of her history, but you don t support the words the way she said it. i think there can be nuance there. let s start there. we spoke with you last night. this is after whoopi issued the statement, the apology. that was before her previously
The mouths of white people. i agree with that part of it. i don t think joe rogan should be canceled but people have right to criticize him as they have right to criticize you, me, question cnn there s a lot more questions for spotify. we re in period of limbo, going to find out are the employees and subscribers satisfied with that? are they canceling or does nobody care? great headline in the l.a. times summed it up, spotify knows the podcast is hurtful but gosh, there s money to be made and it s about money. it s also about editorial. spotify could say we re going to have they don t have involvement. could say we re going to have involvement to make sure the program is not just entertaining, crude and provocative but make sure
March 2020 as covid-19 cases spike in parts of the country. alexandria haugh as the white house announces new measures that could change christmas plans for some america families if they comply. reporter: president biden is expected to make the announcement on tuesday. he previously said he would not shut down the economy or the country. some are bit concerned about planning though after vice president kamala harris, told the l.a. times that the administration was caught off-guard. we didn t see delta coming. i think most scientists did not. didn t see delta coming. didn t see omicron coming. the white house responded saying the vice president comments refer to the exact kind of mutation. they new mutations were possible. the reason we ordered extra tests, extra gear, extra ppe as omicron overlaps the existing
