The legendary CBS TV News anchors take a probing look at today’s journalism and those who practice it as they discuss Bob Schieffer’s new book, Overload.

From the explosion of fake news to the challenges of the 24-hour news cycle, they’ll take an inside look at the changing role of media and ask whether today’s citizens are more informed — or just overwhelmed. And they’ll ask how well do today’s journalists believe they are carrying out their responsibility to provide Americans with the information they need to be good citizens.

Dispatches from some of our #DONews websites and independent journalists on the scene in Barcelona Spain, where polls are open.

Massive migrant crisis, huge public debt, rising unemployment, while some claim Spain is being run by idiots and point to many Catalans wanting to be independent. It cant happen here, you say?

Everything on our block is very peaceful but the center has had big protests and some riots this am and yesterday.

The Mossos (provincial police) came twice to the school that was occupied overnight by pro-independence civilians but didn't stop the voting.

Enjoy a slice of humble pie... Perhaps you may fall this Autumn, which comes with a deep desire for passion, as the leaves slowly drop from the tree of life, bringing a smile to our faces and warmth inside our souls.

Nature's true miracle, with unique colors, so amazingly beautiful, it's difficult to speak of them, so we just marvel with a deep admiration for the beauty that leaves us amazed, similar to a love we all desire.

Tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans from the devastated island are beginning to arrive in hubs like NY and Florida as their friends, family members and community activists are preparing to do whatever they can to help these American citizens.

They are all US citizens who once lived in Puerto Rico but have now opted for a necessary exodus to the US mainland, searching for safety and security following the human disaster caused by hurricane Maria.

While Americans in Puerto Rico continue their two-week-old nightmare and wait for a real USA lifeline to their growing nightmare, those victims and journalists say thanks, to all public safety officials and first responders who are tirelessly working hard to save lives, but why does POTUS keep Tweeting statements and accusations without proof and then appears to be enjoying another weekend at his posh NJ golf course? https://dearmrpresident.org/ #USA http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #POTUS http://politics.doseofnews.com/#TABA

With a GOP majority in The US House of Representatives, as well as in The US Senate, why have there been no campaign promises kept? Whatever happened to getting tired of winning and I'll make great deals?

Why can't he point to one legislative accomplishment, but instead he has undertaken an unprecedented series of regulatory rollbacks, executive orders, and enforcement changes as well as guidelines by rewriting and inventing rules for industries ranging from entertainment to sports, including issues from sexual assault to anti-discrimination protections?

Eve Of Destruction

Submitted by ub on

The eastern world, it is explodin',
Violence flarin', bullets loadin',
You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin',
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
And can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
