Must Reads: R. Kelly's #MeToo reckoning, Charlie Rose's enablers, and Erik Prince's China

Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. When national arts reporter Geoff Edgers started working on his penetrating look at years of sexual abuse allegations involving R&B superstar R. Kelly, he was worried he wouldn't be able to uncover anything new.

But Edgers, with encouragement from his editor, Christine Ledbetter, focused his reporting on the industry that enabled Kelly's career to flourish amid one disturbing scandal after another.  "How do you ignore something like this for so long?" Edgers said he asked himself. "How does that happen? You trace it back to the money, and who are the people who benefited?" Edgers, who also hosts a podcast called Edge of Fame, called, emailed and texted the people who knew the answers to those questions dozens of time...

Image
The President’s tweet betrays a fundamental misunderstanding about the role of inspectors general and other executive branch oversight and accountability offices. Shortsighted on Oversight The special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in U.S. elections continues to attract politically charged pronouncements and calls for action. As part of the recent debate, government oversight institutions have been invoked by national and party leaders.

CC News Letter 14 March - Happy News From India!

Dear Friend, Here are two important news to report today. One is good and the other is bad.  First the good one.  In the all importan by-poll held in the states of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar of India, BJP lost all three seats. The oppositions took all three seats from BJP, including the all important seat of Gorakhpur, which was vacated by the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanth. This seat is a citadel of BJP which held on to it over three decades. The voter turn out was less than 40 %. The results and the voting percentage shows that the Indian public in UP and Bihar have given up on BJP. It must be the beginning of the end of the right wing BJP's fascist rule in India.  One of the greatest scientists of the world , Stephen Hawking passed away today. During his last days, he was more worried about the health of the planet than his own health. It falls upon us to carry on the fight against climate change.  Andre Vltchek reports that NATO is shifting ...
