Good grief. "Journalist" covers the whole shooting match - investigative reporters, beat reporters, op-ed writers, sports writers, arts & entertainment, etc.
Sure, opinions vary.
opinions do, but the facts are that he and his team have won multiple awards for journalism.

Key there being "the team". Talking heads are backed by a lot of people who do the journalist legwork and the production legwork. What if he isn't even writing the stuff he reads on TV?
Hey if a book reviewer for the WSJ can be a "Journalist" why can't he?
what if he is writing everything he reads on TV? Is your position that for his over 20 years working at 60 minutes all he did was read a script?

He can, and broadly speaking, is. What he has primarily been for the last while is a news reader.
First, I doubt he's writing much of the material, let alone everything. Second, I'm sure he has done more than read scripts in his career.
But right now the fight he chose to frame is that the people in charge aren't, somehow, qualified - morally if not professionally - to fire his insubordinate ass.
for the past 23 years he's been a correspondent on 60 Minutes
perhaps the people who the owners of CBS put in place in order to curry favor with the trump administration so that their merger would get approved might not be professionally qualified.

I don't grant the premise ("curry favor"), but that aside, you raise the question of what the professional qualifications are. I doubt there are any, and I doubt that it matters. This is a moral and political battle. People know full well which institutions and agencies and influence and messaging they control, and resent losing any part of it, even to moderates on their own "side".

And sanity...
One day after President Donald Trump declared the United States doesn’t need anything from Canada, his ambassador in Ottawa offered a notable exception: potash.
Canada is the world’s top exporter of the essential fertilizer used to maximize crop production — and it’s one commodity U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said the United States needs as the fate of free trade between the two countries is under threat.
“When the president says we don’t need this from Canada, or there’s nothing we need. America has a tremendous amount of things where we have a need,” he told a Toronto business audience at the US-Canada Summit on Thursday. “We need potash.”
Canada is top exporter of potash to the world, accounting for nearly 40 percent of global exports. The U.S. buys 53 percent of Canada’s potash exports. Russia is another major exporter.
Trade talks appear to be on shaky ground, with Trump casting doubt over the long-term future of North American free trade, telling reporters Wednesday that he’s not looking to renew the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Considering the agreement remains in force until 2036, there's a high likelihood he won't be in office then. This year's meeting is simply a periodic review.

The “we don’t need anything…I may not renew…” is just Kabuki theatre pandering to his base…wait for his line to become “I got Canada to keep giving us resources for the next decade. BEST DEAL EVER!”

Surprised/ not surprised...
An annual event put on by members of Congress to honor fallen servicewomen was canceled this year after the Navy, Air Force and Space Force bowed out, citing Pentagon and White House policies on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, according to the Democratic members of the caucus leading the event.
The Bipartisan Women’s Caucus’ 28th annual wreath-laying ceremony is typically held at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The Democratic Women’s Caucus announced the cancellation on Monday.
A spokesperson with the Democratic half of the caucus told Task & Purpose that the Navy and the Air Force (answering for the Space Force) declined to participate due to White House and Department of Defense policies that bar participation in diversity, equity and inclusion or identity-related celebrations. The spokesperson said that the Army cited scheduling conflicts due to the service’s birthday, but it “had never been an issue prohibiting them from participating before.”

Sorry but if they are cancelling a 28 year old bipartisan ceremony in honour of the fallen because they don't like current policy that is pathetic. Are they also going to ignore memorial day from now on? These are non-political events and the military shouldn't be turning them political. Maybe the army should cancel their birthday too, after all if you can't honour your fallen you shouldn't be able to celebrate a birthday. It's not like they didn't have any advance notice so could plan for it.

Maybe they should bow out of Warriors Day, Veterans Day and maybe cancel the hono(u)r guard at the Tomb. Male is an identity.

It appears the admin is taking revenge on Anthropic for giving the Pentagon the cold shoulder. Right after the market closed.
This includes foreign national that work at Anthropic, inside the US.

I say revenge because the reason is a capability that other models around the world have, including ChatGPT 5.5 which hasn't received the same restrictions.
The AI bubble has been doing some heavy lifting for the US economy, it'll be interesting to see how the reaction pans out.

Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
The US government has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States.

Realistically what could Anthropic do to skirt that? Open a subsidiary in a foreign country to sell abroad?
I think you’re on the right track. Establish a pseudo head office offshore (Bahamas?) that would act as a holding company.. Then rename the US footprint as a subsidiary and install an acting president of that subsidiary/division.
