Several royal family members insisted on going, even though their security teams advised them not to. Also, the first significant financial donation came from William, Catherine, and Harry. Theresa May announced the fund for victims a full 2 days later.

The Queen is NINETY and she went to do her duty. No whining, no bitching. I know there’s good arguments to be made about the monarchy and its cost to British taxpayers but nobody can say the Queen has fallen down on her job.

I’m thinking the Queen has shown in a very shady and effective way exactly what she thinks of the new government.

What, you don’t think dumping $300 million into a stadium in a city that is still struggling financially is a great idea? What are you, a Commie?

“...told the NYT that he everyone seemed more mature and “had kind of a professional attitude” as they stepped onto the riverboat...”

Not just that, she listened to him dying and did not call an ambulance, did not call his parents, did not call his friends.

Exactly. I’ve been there too. And no, I don’t think I ever “would do it anyways” as long as I have a network of family to give me some sort of hope. There’s always been this glimmer that stops me. Even at the last second. And that glimmer is the love of my family.

From my time doing Jury Duty (which I just remembered I have another session coming up at some point) a jury can be “deadlocked” with even just one juror disagreeing. You’re probably skeptical that they couldn’t all find him guilty, but it only takes one to blow the whole thing.

“Our client is Bill Cosby. You know him as the loving, caring father from The Cosby Show. There is no way ‘America’s Dad’ could ever do this.” And here we are.

Yes. And fuck those people. I am so finished with these rape apologists and their hateful bullshit.

OK, actual veteran journalist here. If you want to “shine a light” and “expose” you do an investigative piece. First rule of getting at the truth: don’t repeat the lies in a credible manner, that only spreads them.

If she wanted to do a traditional narrative piece that looked at the evidence side-by-side and explained…

Well said on all notes, and you’re right about the town halls. Damn.

This will just result in people having even more reduced access to their representatives (good excuse for not having any town halls!).

Or was LITERALLY caught in the act and while found guilty had almost no punishment :/

It used to be that sunlight was the best disinfectant. Nowadays it just helps them grow stronger, much like Superman getting his power from the sun.

You can’t use facts to change the mind of a conspiracy theorist. Everything you show them that proves them wrong, only makes them believe even stronger.

There are no certifiable facts to “push him” in a sit down interview. That’s the problem with this format for conspiracy theorists. To a conspiracy theorist, all facts contrary to their position are faked and part of the conspiracy. They traffic in unfalsifiable assumptions, and will simply argue that if you believe…

Agreed. I think his should be made as a heavily edited documentary, not a live interview. Present the man as he really is, add in the awful soundbites and the idiot conspiracies that he favours along with his ridiculous proofs, as well as the endorsements by the likes of Trump. Maybe she should hook up with Oliver…

Btw, you should see the chummy picture Alex posted of him and Megyn in his car when they’re grinning like they’re best buds. I have my doubts that she actually went hard against him.

On Sunday, NBC will air Megyn Kelly’s interview with noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who believes with certainty that the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 was a government hoax.
