ADVISORY  Watch: The World This Week — ‘Shameless.’ Joe Lauria, editor-in-chief of Consortium News, hosts retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern in TWTW’s new time slot, 9 a.m. EDT Sunday. Lauria will probably write an introduction to be read beginning an hour or three before the program. For the time being here’s this brief CN intro: “Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu this week used the seat of world diplomacy — established to pursue peace — to spread their vile supremacist ideologies.” Click HERE Sunday morning at 9 to watch and listen.

P.S. Presumably the newer TWTW time is designed to compete with “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation” and like Sunday morning offerings on TV that are apparently influential enough, combined with NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox’s other news shows, to help put the world in the shape it’s in. — MCM
