  After weeks of testimony, the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump is now in the hands of the jury, with the outcome unpredictable.
  Without cameras in the courtroom, news outlets relied on those attending the trial, many not even attending every day, to “report” whether Trump or the prosecution is “winning.” With some exceptions, the hosts and pundits on outlets like CNN and MSNBC argued both the law and evidence warranted a guilty verdict.

• The California Legislature should put the brakes on Senate Bill 915

  30-05-2024 07:00 via ocregister.com
  
  There’s an old stereotype that politicians are fickle and move capriciously with the political sentiments of the moment. This seems to be alive and well among some state lawmakers who can’t decide whether important technology issues should be addressed in Sacramento or at the city-level.
