Happening to him. Hes a hate news monger. Hes being challenged in court for things hes done. I do think this is another example of how these companies are struggling to figure out how to handle content on their platforms. Its harder than having an algorithm decide what to do. And what is the policy moving forward. Unclear. Appreciate it. Thank you all for being with me. Im poppy p py harlow in new yo. Next hour starts now. Hello, everyone, here is a question for do you believe an admitted liar or an accused one . That is exactly what jurors are face floodinging today in a Vid Courtroom as the star witness is back on the stand in the trial against Paul Manafort. So far Rick Gates Has been telling the court a riveting tail of betrayal, theft, and years of financial fraud. And while there is nothing here about what either man did for
the trump campaign, this is the first trial to come out of the Special Counsels russia investigation, and theyre back at it now. Joe johns is outside the cou
Lets start with what happened last night, andy scholes is with me for all of that. So this is players from different teams taking different action to make their voices heard. What did we see. Players on different teams doing Different Things but there is no rule or discipline coming their way because the nfl released a statement saying how they enforce their National Anthem policy was on hold while they continue to have discussions with the players on how to handle it. So that means theres no punishment for players demonstrating and last night multiple players did protest before the first preseason game of the year and the Rockets Red Glare that is dolphins Wide Receiver kenny stills and Albert Wilson taking a knee during the National Anthem.
