In our Deep Dive: As it mulls its move into the future, Facebook has recently made strange bedfellows with religious organizations to help them create community in the virtual world… is this a well-timed altruistic move into the future of faith, or an opportunistic economic and mindshare land grab?
And in Courage or Cringe: Biden & Afghanistan, Bar Rescue in the Doghouse, and Chris Cuomo confesses.
Is our Commander-in-Chief’s confident affirmation of the wisdom of his strategy in Afghanistan evidence of a principled long-term vision, OR is it a PR stratagem being deployed to spin an international debacle?
Did a popular reality-TV host exaggerate to make an important point about the long-term effects of welfare, OR was his comment a thinly veiled attack on vulnerable Americans at a difficult time in our collective history?
And finally, did CNN’s leading man come clean about the drama surrounding his disgraced brother and former Governor of NY, OR was his admission a self-centered screed out of touch with the real issues at play?
