How weird. Basically exiling himself to keep his contract with Fox News, I guess.

I was interested in his ratings and found it amusing at how imbalanced televised news is.

He averages 1.33 million people a day, but only 211,000 of those people are between the ages of 24-55. Which is pretty much the ratio for all the news anchors on there.


Why do we still pay attention to the movements/doings of these television news people? They are completely irrelevant to the average person.

I'm surprised Seth Abramson even poking his head out considering how much in the bag he was for the Mueller case and Russiagate.

I was going to complain about the meta news dominating about shep, but he got a whole 3 hours before the secretary of homeland security bailed. The replacement is going to be some MAGA rando warming a seat.

I spoke too soon, shep is the headline already.

Reminds me of a microscopic version of Michael Jackson's death where at month 2 of 3 months of coverage it was like really, there's no other news? I don't believe you.

Admitting to blackface to try and garner votes from your constituents work for both dems and reps.

Dude already looks Dwyane Johnson coloured anyways.  My opinion is that its not really blackface unless you go three or more shades darker than normal.  However, this could just be 11PM drink and F.lux colouring my views.

A Facebook spokesperson responded to the new ads to CNN, which first reported on them, saying: “If Senator Warren wants to say things she knows to be untrue, we believe Facebook should not be in the position of censoring that speech.”

I mean, good for Warren and fuck Facebook. You don't even get first amendment protection if you're lying, but somehow it doesn't stop false statements in political ads? Warren isn't as clearly evil as Hillary was so I guess she wouldn't be such a bad pres if it came down to it.

They both live in L.A. California's Ed Code has mandated public schools teach about LBGTQ for years and is going to codify standards for teaching it eventually. (Right now, you just have to mention it somewhere in your curriculum)

Then there is 4chan, the notoriously toxic online message board, where some right-wing trolls and anti-Semites fawn over Ms. Gabbard, calling her “Mommy” and praising her willingness to criticize Israel. In April, the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, took credit for Ms. Gabbard’s qualification for the first two Democratic primary debates.

Quote
Yet there is only confusion for several Democratic officials, activists and party officials, who privately say they have been a little spooked by Ms. Gabbard. Rival campaigns worry about her unpredictable attacks if she participates in the debate, pointing to her sharp jabs against Senator Kamala Harris of California in an earlier matchup.

“She’s taken a series of policy steps which signal to the right that she has deep areas of alignment,” said Neera Tanden, a longtime policy adviser to Hillary Clinton who now leads the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank.


:thinking

Quote
The questions deepened on Thursday after Ms. Gabbard threatened to boycott Tuesday’s debate, arguing that the corporate news media and the Democratic National Committee are working together to rig the event. (The New York Times is a co-sponsor of the debate with CNN.)

This persons voice really matters. After all a lot of Hillary Clinton policy was implemented, oh wait.
