local races. fewer and fewer reporters are vetting the candidates and finding out what they really stand for. and it s especially bad when you drive like an hour or two out of the big cities. many rural areas are news deserts. meaning they lack a local newspaper or sources. this is a brand-new map of news deserts. an effort led by former newspaper executive penny abernathy. her research shows the u.s. has lost almost 1,800 papers since 2004, and others are ghosts, shells of their former severals. abernathy has a unique perspective because she not only studies news deserts, she also lives in one. she moved back to scotland county, north carolina, where she grew up. a rural part of the state near the border and when she came home, she saw the changes. regional newspapers used to cover her county, but not really anymore. i asked her about it and how it affects the midterms. the fayetteville paper has
collect, review, process and produce severals of pages. though the ig report did not find any bias impacting the investigation under review, that report did identify errors of judgment, violations of or disregard for policy and decisions that certainly in the benefit of hindsight were not the best choices. i would like to briefly summarize the steps we re taking. first, we re going to be holding employees accountable for misconduct. we have already referred conduct highlighted in the report to the office of professional responsibility, which is the fbi s independent disciplinary arm. and once the necessary process is complete, we will not hesitate to hold people strictly accountable. second, we re making sure that every employee understands the lessons of the ig s report through in depth training, starting at the top, starting
at the fbi and the first publication guideline is that you re not supposed to write about the substantive issues in pending open investigations. that seems to have been violated with mr. comey s book, but beyond that, i think that it bears a good long look into how he came to drop the charges with respect to hillary clinton as your last guest pointed out he was abouting in severals lost of them unauthorized in doing that but there are a couple of clues in plain view that really need to be followed. number one president obama communicated with hillary clinton on her server. we know that because he had a code name and his e-mails were discovered and would have been discovered had the investigation of her continued. when the president went on television and said she
welcome back, everyone. to afghanistan capital city of kabul where a string of terror attacks in the last week left well over 100 people dead and severals more wounded. on saturday, at least 103 people were killed after explosives at an ambulance exploded at a security check point, coming a week after 22 people were killed, including 4 americans during an attack on a hotel in the city. the taliban has claimed responsibility for both of those attacks. and isis is now claiming responsibility for an attack this morning on an army garrison near a military academy leaving 11 afghan army soldiers dead. it s the second in kabul in the last week. joining us live from london, nbc news foreign correspondent. good to have you with us, lucy.
truth about his acts. and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when does right. any other attitude in an american citizen is both base and servile. president roosevelt continued, to announce there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand by a president right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the american public. unquote. acting on conscience and principle in a manner in the manner in which we express our moral severals. and as such loyalty to consciousness and principle should supersede loyalty to any man or party. we can all be forgiven for failing to measure up from time to time. i certainly put myself at the top of the list of those who fall short in this regard.
