Fox News segment crops Trump out of a photo with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
On Sunday evening, Fox News ran a segment about Ghislaine Maxwell, who was charged last week with the sex trafficking of children in the 1990s. The clip featured a photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell with the image of President Trump cropped out. A spokesperson for the network said the editing was done by mistake: "We regret the error."
My response is 'yeah right it was an error'

It's Independence Day today in the US. It is important that we recognize today both that this country is badly screwed up, but also that it can be fixed if we commit to doing so. Those are some of the most important parts of patriotism. Celebrating your country without recognizing its flaws is not patriotic, it is nationalistic.
