Free Speech

Story Of The Week

News

ABC canceled the sitcom 'Roseanne' after its star, Roseanne Barr, sent a racially charged tweet directed at former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett. Ms. Barr wrote that if the “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj." Ms. Jarrett was born in Iran and is Black.

After ABC took swift action, writers on both sides of the aisle have expressed general agreement that the network did not violate free speech rights, arguing that the private company has the right to operate within a certain set of values.

President Trump Cancels Summit With North Korea

President Trump on Thursday canceled the much anticipated summit with North Korea in a letter to Kim Jong Un that cited “tremendous anger and open hostility” from the country. Supporters of the decision argue that the president made the right call in the wake of North Korea's recent remarks about the US, which mocked Vice President Mike Pence and pointed to a potential nuclear confrontation.

Israelis and Palestinians Clash at Gaza Border

Check out this ad that ran in the New York Times last week honoring World Press Freedom Day. "Don't just read the New York Times," they say, encouraging readers to step out of their filter bubbles and consume a litany of other sources. This is something we support wholeheartedly at AllSides.

President Trump Withdraws from Iran Deal

President Trump officially withdrew from the Iran Deal, an Obama-era international accord that lowered sanctions on Iran in exchange for limiting the country's ability to make nuclear weapons. Supporters of the decision argue that the agreement did not effectively reduce nuclear weapons development and even emboldened nuclear aspirations in the Middle East without consequence. Detractors say that it will isolate the U.S.

Comedian Michelle Wolf delivered the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner monologue, and reactions were mixed on if the entertainer took things too far.

North Korea Pledges to Suspend Nuclear Testing

North Korea announced that it would cease nuclear testing indefinitely as Kim Jong-Un travels to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Experts are divided on whether or not this actually signals openness to disarming. The news coincided with French President Emmanuel Macron's U.S. visit, who hopes that President Trump's meeting with Jong-Un will buy time for the Iran Deal.

Hearing Every Voice

News

How do you feel when your voice is heard? How do you feel when it is not?

We all want our voice to be heard. We all want to feel self-expressed. We all want to leave a gathering where we had something to say, having said what we wanted to say. If that does not happen, feelings of frustration, disagreement, and aloneness can creep in. These feelings, particularly when experienced over time, can lead to states of separation and division.

Media React to James Comey's Newly Released Book

James Comey released his new book, A Higher Loyalty, about his time in the Trump White House, evoking strong reactions from the media. Ironically, Comey was condemned across the aisle, with left-leaning and right-leaning publications asserting that some of his criticisms directed towards Trump stoop to a juvenile level.
