COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Two bomb threats led to a brief lockdown of the Norwegian Parliament Wednesday, while lawmakers continued debate inside.

All news is biased, no matter what it claims to be. Removing partisanship is virtually impossible as it often isn’t even a conscious intention whenever information is being reported. So when news outlets claim to be an “independent,” there’s good reason to be skeptical. Take, for example, Courier Newsroom, founded by Tara McGowan in 2019. […]
Former President Donald Trump bashed outgoing Republican members of Congress, as the GOP majority in the House gets smaller. “Never forget our cowards and weaklings!

One of the worst-kept secrets in the entertainment industry is that the once infallible Walt Disney Company is in genuinely dire straits, on a number of fronts.
