I'm still skeptical about the #GoldenGlobes but choosing an honest, unpretentious host like Jerrod Carmichael was the right choice. A lot of blatant truth-telling in that monologue.

Great story but as an editor I believe Ted Lieu is well-known enough to have his name in the headline, *particularly* for his hometown paper. "This lawmaker got impeachment rolling—while sheltering in the Capitol"

Apology PSA: "I'm sorry *if* anyone was offended" is literally conditional, implying that offense is hypothetical (perhaps even over-sensitive). "I'm sorry *to* everyone who was offended" is clear, unequivocal and acknowledges that offense was committed.
