In our deep dive today, a guilty verdict has been handed down in the Derek Chauvin case, does this usher in an era of police accountability and domestic unity, or will more division and discord ensue?
And in Courage or Cringe:
Facebook limits posts, Demi Lovato hates on Froyo, and Stephen A Smith pontificates on Jake Paul.
Is Facebook’s advance notice of its intent to limit posts that incite violence thoughtful proactiveness, or another step in the line of increasing censorship moves?
Are sugar-free products part of a diet industry conspiracy, or should consumer choice reign supreme?
And finally, is Stephen A Smith’s recent Jake Paul tweet revealing a truth about boxing’s unhealthy exhibitionism, or is he further hyping a lopsided victory in a bad boxing match?
Deep Dive:
Guilty on all charges.
