Judge denies AT&T access to White House correspondence on Time Warner deal
- February 22, 2018
AT&T has argued that it is subject to "selective enforcement", that is, that the DOJ's motivation in bringing the case is primarily political, and motivated by President Trump's well-known dislike of CNN, a Time Warner property. In the decision yesterday, the judge on the case said the companies had fallen "far short" of the legal bar required to receive the documents. AT&T has argued that the Justice Department has approved other similar mergers, including the Comcast-NBC Universal merger, ... (more...)

- February 22, 2018

Gun control isn't the only way to protect children's lives

Anyone, anytime, can gift a gun to anyone else. After last week's school shooting, some Americans are okay with that, especially those families who are grieving. I have no understanding of why semi-automatic weapons are allowed to be so easily purchased in our nation.
