CBS News wants to take 'middle ground' on airing Trump's speech as network chiefs wrestle over whether to carry it live
Stelter said in his Reliable Sources newsletter Thursday that he has been told CBS may take a “middle-ground” approach by quickly editing clips of Trump’s address to air shortly after, rather than playing the whole speech live. The network’s controversial evening news host, Tony Dokoupil, would host a special report later in the 9 p.m. hour, fact-checking Trump’s claims. Other broadcasters are also reportedly considering tape-turning clips rather than airing the full speech live. -snip- CBS ...

Feds Issue Bombshell Warning on Trump's Attack on Our Rights
(Daily Beast) As President Trump’s primetime address to the nation on Thursday draws near, former senior FBI and intelligence officials told the Daily Beast that what he touts as a speech emphasizing the importance of “free and fair elections” will, in fact, be part of an attack on democracy itself. Trump has announced a 9 p.m. Thursday speech, demanding TV airtime—which they have yet to promise—for what he claims is a matter of national importance. But to those who have worked at the pinnacle of law enforcement, something else is afoot.

Vance wanted military helicopter to fly his son to a golf lesson: report
(The Independent) Vice President JD Vance sought last week to use a military helicopter to ferry himself and his son across Washington for a golf lesson, one of a number of allegedly unusual travel requests that has left the Republican’s security detail “fed up,” MS Now reports. The alleged travel plans aboard Marine Two were ultimately canceled due to weather, but Secret Service agents nonetheless discussed it among themselves unhappily, according to the outlet. Past vice presidents have had Secret Service agents drive their children to activities, rather than use military hardware, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour to operate.
