Just A Box Of Rain
Just A Box Of Rain's JournalLesley Stahl's 60 Minutes interview with MTG: A spectacular failure
on the part those who leaped to judgement--without even have seen the report--and claimed without evidence that CBS was normalizing fascism.
Rather, this was a devastating take-down. Brutal.
Well done Lesley Stahl! Well done 60 Minutes! Well done CBS!
Meanwhile the silence from those who got it spectacularly wrong is deafening.
If you feel inclined to offer up mea culpas, consider this your platform.
ETA: At the suggestion of Brother Buzz (who found this link and has my gratitude for doing so) here is the segment on YouTube:
We lost a legendary Democrat here in Los Angeles today. RIP Roz Wyman.
Rosalind Wyman was (and remains) the youngest person ever elected to the LA City Council, in 1953 when she was only 22 years old. She represented the 5th District for 12 years.
She overcame sexism and anti-Semitism to win the seat and she was among the progressive voices who helped turn Los Angeles from a city dominated by conservatives to the liberal bastion it is today.
She was instrumental in bringing the Dodgers to LA (sorry Brooklynites) and helped secure the 1960 Democratic convention for our fair city.
She headed up Dianne Feinstein's initial Senate campaign and chaired the DNC Convention in 1984.
“Roz was a force of nature: breaking down barriers for women in California politics, while forging new ways to bring people together through politics, the arts, and baseball,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.
The obits will focus on her role in bringing the Dodgers to LA, but those of us who follow local politics know her legacy is much (much) greater than baseball.
We owe her a great deal. She helped transform the politics of this city.
Roz Wyman was 92.
