So, I agree that attacking the media has been part of Trump’s strategy, and I agree that statements like that can be used as part of that strategy to delegitimize newsgathering in general, but if I had no other information about Sinclair (if I hadn’t seen the Last Week Tonight bit, for example) I actually wouldn’t…

Any thought to whether the victim wants this dredged up again? Because it’s clear that legally, this can go nowhere by now. And The Daily Beast’s report caused nary a ripple in the water. And the victim herself, even as the #MeToo tide was really cresting, did not make the decision to bring these allegations to light.…

Remarkably stupid blog post, you’re welcome.

I ordered 9 things on amazon this weekend and i hope my city wins the amazon 2nd HQ. The biggest employer here pays no local property tax and was incentivized to build here. Then it brought 20k professional jobs to the area. This town has gone through a massive boom because of them and its a great city.

Playing Higher Power’s Advocate:

I understand why they felt they had to, but I don’t think it’s right. I’m not necessarily desiring business tycoons to be President anyways, but it seems to me to be an unfair burden to be put upon them to do what is a four year gig. I do think they should have to put their holdings into a blind trust, Bloomberg did,…

Honest question, and not defending Trump in any way, but how realistic is enforcing this law in this day and age? Obviously using the office to enrich yourself is one thing, which Trump and definitely Kushner may be doing.

Richardson was also known for what multiple women call the “seatbelt maneuver.” He would invite female employees out to lunch, and in keeping with his reputation as a self-styled gentleman, he would open the car door for his guests. Once they were seated, however, he would insist on fastening their seatbelt for them,…

Torokist propaganda! We won’t be swayed by your honeyed tongue. FIE! Fie upon your house!

It’s sad how the SPLC has turned into a joke. It will rightfully condemn bigoted Christianist fundamentalists on the one hand but then blacklist a practicing muslim for condemning bigoted Islamist fundamentalists. Click on the Nawaz SPLC blacklist link to see his alleged crimes. It is really pathetic.

It’s a curious thing how the left routinely denies the media is overwhelmingly liberal or, even if they admit that, deny it has any impact on coverage. But the moment some conservative expresses interest in one of their properties, suddenly there’s a shriek of outrage. How dare you threaten to make this left-leaning…

Glad that someone posted this. The SPLC did the same thing to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a woman who has done more for women’s rights by herself than everyone working at the SPLC put together. It’s a damn shame. Nawaz and Ali get their names dragged through the mud because the SPLC seems hell bent on protecting ideologies and…

The masses don’t read alt-weekly papers or they wouldn’t perpetually be for sale. Also, the idea that the right has a stranglehold on the media is laughable.

“The Quilliam Foundation’s stated mission is to combat violent extremism, and it’s buddied up with the British and American governments. In reality, their operations are far more opaque than that: They’ve been accused of “anti-Muslim extremism” by the Southern Poverty Law Center”

Remember when the Internet was evolving in the 90s and everyone said you should never give a website your real information let alone your real payment information? I don’t think Bezos is worth $100 billion because we are giving Amazon fake addresses and credit cards every time we make a purchase.

Great googly moogly.

You are in dreamland. The same “90 percent” you keep trotting out is the same 90 percent of the country that was supposed to vote for Hilary. You have no clue. In Indiana, Oklahoma, Ohio, Missouri, and many other states that aren’t California and New York, people don’t care to see these people protest when they tune…

I’d say the reaction to a joke that was kinda clever, kinda meh, very harmless is perhaps a reason why Democrats lost the election.

it was a good joke
