So his details are of no concern, is that right?
Maryland Governor Wes Moore is really annoyed that the media in his state are daring to attempt to commit journalism. They have been hounding him for his military records, and they also have the temerity to be critical of some of his policies.
So Moore went crying to MS NOW, where Jen Psaki dutifully ran interference on his behalf. She slammed the Baltimore Sun for being owned by Sinclair Broadcasting, and its chairman is rich, and he likes Donald Trump. Okay, and what does this have to do with proving Moore is innocent?!
This is classic shoot-the-messenger deflection, and the amazing aspect is that this is coming from the same people who always love to crow about the importance of the press holding politicians accountable and speaking truth to power.

Messengers are becoming an endangered species!
Eric Swalwell is facing mounting accusations of inappropriate behavior, a shock to everyone. (No one, at all.) But in rides the local CBS affiliate, not to check on the allegations, but to attack the woman exposing some of the charges.
The news channel alleges that the influencer detailing some of the charges on Swealwell has connections to his political opponent, Katie Porter. To say this is a stretch is being charitable. This woman went to the same school where Porter was once a professor, and Porter spoke at her graduation. Later, this woman worked at the State Capitol when Porter was a state representative.
These are not exactly “connections”, but for this news channel, it is enough not to investigate Swalwell.
The influencer behind viral allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell has academic and political connections with UC Irvine Law professor and California governor's race rival Katie Porter. https://t.co/8AYmvv71V3

Going to be moving your studio to Tehran, Steffy?
On her soon-to-be vacated “11th Hour” program, Stephanie Ruhle had a panel discussion and during one segment raved that Iran leadership was far more dedicated to their cause than Trump. She was seriously impressed by the devout, some would say fanatical, passions of the Iranian top brass… whoever is left there:
The fact that they have a deep belief in something. That's unfathomable to [Trump]. That they will die for."
There were tens of thousands of Iranian citizens who died opposing this passionate leadership you are swooning over, Stephanie. How about a little balance in your fervor, huh?

Artisanally-Crafted Narratives – MS NOW
It might be time for another week off, Larry.
After carping this week that Pete Hegseth was sexist in speaking about the pilot rescue mission, Lawrence O’Donnell follows that up with an unhinged monologue about the news that Selective Service policies were being updated. Nothing at all is changing about registering with the government, just that the process is being altered.
O’Donnell apparently feels like this was a significant change, and he used it to go into a hysterical rant about Trump’s son Barron not registering, and suggesting this was a violation and a probable felony.
Let’s just keep in mind that there is no draft, and that Larry has no idea if Barron Trump has or has not registered with the Selective Service.
Without evidence, MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell suggests Barron Trump committed a felony, accuses him of not filling out his Selective Service card. He asserts that President Trump's inability to read doomed his son's crime to exposer under law:

Low-Octane Gaslighting – LOS ANGELES TIMES
It would appear that a modicum of research would help here.
Spencer Pratt is bothering a lot of leftists in Southern California as he is running for the Mayor’s office. Pratt lost his home in the Palisades’ fire last January and has a temporary residence in Santa Barbara. The LA Times is trying to use this as a cause to say he is ineligible to run for office due to his residency status.
The Los Angeles Clerk’s office has made stipulations for those people who have lost homes in the fire that they can still maintain a campaign, as long as they retain the property, which Pratt has done. He has also been certified to run for the election, so the local paper is either grasping for a controversy, not at all aware of the provisions made for the election, or possibly both.
