He seems to go back and forth between insulting her as laughing camila, and Lyon Camila Step to define her, or at least try t
Milley who obviously cooperated with the book. The clash between conservative and liberal media is this. Was the chairman of the joint chiefs acting courageously when according to the book he twice reassured china the u. S. Would not attack because it was worried about trumps mental state and when milley told senior Defense Officials to check with him on any president ial order to launch a nuclear strike or was milley Out Of Control and undermining the civilian Chain Of Command. These are crucial questions. Woodward is sometimes accused of granting favorable treatment to those who give him access. Trump who is denouncing the Book Wouldnt speak to Woodward And C of osta. Once the hearings and investigations are underway, well see how it holds up to media scrutiny. Scrutiny. Im Howard Kurtz and this is Media Buzz. The press quickly divided into two warring camps, those on the left using the book to hail Mark Milley, those on the right practically calling him a tray traitor. The thing tha
We have been since the beginning of the covid virus. Reporter pfizer made the case for boosters with data showing Wang Vaccine Efficacy after six months and said they will work with the fda to address the committees questions and now questions about the biden administrations widespread Booster Strategy after the president made this announcement last month. Eight months after your second shot get a booster shot. Reporter bidens push for a third shot is getting pushback from some of the nations top medical experts who say he spoke too soon. The White House wrote in part, we stand ready to provide Booster Shots to eligible americans once the process concludes at The End of next week.
