Politico:
-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) isn’t mincing words when it comes to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), calling the 16 day government shutdown “stupid” and accusing Cruz of political opportunism.
“In an effort to help him run for President, he has done some stuff that’s really damaging to our country,” Reid told Univision anchor Jorge Ramos in an interview that will air Sunday, according to a transcript.
-NBC has decided to send correspondent Thomas Roberts to Moscow this November to co-host the network's coverage of the Miss Universe pageant -- an asignment Roberts, who is openly gay, says he took "because it is a huge, visible opportunity for LGBT people."
The decision to send Roberts to Russia is a move in opposition of the country's official anti-homosexual stance. Roberts, who is also an MSNBC host, has publicly criticized what he describes as Russia's "homophobic laws," a reference to new laws prohibiting the promotion of nontraditional sexual relationships to minors and the adoption of Russian children by gays.
