We all know gossiping is the act of talking behind people’s backs, but many people use the term “gaslighting” too broadly.

We take some calls and texts on the dangers of gossip and gaslighting alike.

The Trump administration appears to believe that a centuries-long conflict can be solved in a day, declaring a simple cease-fire agreement between the two countries. On the White House lawn, President Trump expressed frustration with the state of the conflict, saying that Israel and Iran “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” His statements exemplify Trump’s inability to effectively serve in an office as important and distingu...

According to Channel 3000, the suspect, Vance Boelter, had a list of approximately 70 politicians he intended to kill, including Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin.

(Hour 1)Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that CBS 58 in Milwaukee fired weather reporter Sam Kuffel for criticizing Elon Musk on her personal social media. While there may have been a legitimate reason to lay her off, the subsequent silence from CBS 58 speaks volumes. This sets a dangerous precedent very early on in Donald Trump’s presidency. If media companies will fire people in their weather departments for criticizing somebody who isn’t even an elected official, trust in news departments will likely deteriorate even further.
