Media Corruption
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
In 2014, Senator Chris Murphy bragged about the United States successfully overthrowing Ukraine's government: "I think it was our role, including sanctions and threats of sanctions, that forced, in part, Yanukovych from office." "We have not sat on the sidelines. We have been very much involved. Members of the Senate have been there. Members of the State Department have been on the Square." "The Obama administration passed sanctions. The Senate was prepared to pass its own set of sanctions, and as I've said, I think that the clear position of the United States has, in part, been what has helped lead to this change in regime." "If, ultimately, this is a peaceful transition to a new government in Ukraine, it will be the U.S. on the streets of Ukraine who will be seen as a great friend in helping make that transition happen." "There is a U.S. interest here. We are in the middle of negotiating a new trade agreement with Europe. To my state, it's enormously important. We do 40% of our trade in Connecticut with Europe." "If Ukraine is part of the EU and thus is part of this new trade agreement with the United States, that could result in billions of dollars in new economic opportunities for the U.S." "So, we do have an economic interest in Ukraine being a part of the EU, and we shouldn't be shy about making that interest clear."
The Legacy Media Purge Continues: Disney to Lay Off 200 ABC News Employees, Restructure Programming
The media purge continues apace.
MSNBC dismissed most of Rachel Maddow's staff and gave Joy Reid the boot. Other networks have either fired or had journalists step down, including Andrea Mitchell, Norah O'Donnell, Chuck Todd, and Jim Acosta.
Now Disney, the parent company of ABC News, is cutting 200 jobs and restructuring some programming:
NOTE: Last night, a CNN poll found that 80% of speech watchers believed Democratic Congressman Al Green’s interruption of President Trump was inappropriate. As I always note, no poll is perfect, but this figure does highlight a significant level of disapproval among those surveyed.
Oh geez, I just saw the news about 538. My heart goes out to the people there. They were tremendously hard-working and produced a lot of extremely valuable data and insight for everyone who wants to understand politics better. They deserved much better.

Another propaganda site down the drain.
Kinda in the same vein.... has anyone else noticed a sudden reduction in the number of spam emails? I usually have to purge my spam folder a couple times a day on each account, today I got 3 spam emails total. Going out on a limb here.... have DOGE actions affected spammers? Or too soon to say that...

Well, in fairness, I rarely saw a key to a government facility (civilian or military) that didn't say "Do Not Duplicate" on it.View attachment 185241

As our own Just Mindy reported Friday, Alec MacGillis of ProPublica told us of the epic tragedy out of Yosemite National Park, where "the sole employee with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms" was laid off. Next we'll be hearing about someone dying trapped in a National Park restroom.
That doesn't mean that they couldn't do it; it just means that there are processes in place to get that kind of thing done. Typically, they'll call in a locksmith to come on base and do the deed, but you can take the key off base. You just have to have some kind of authorization that lets the the locksmith in town know that it's okay for him to make a copy. And they keep a copy for their records. That's rare, and I only saw it done once. Bases used to have Public Works for that kind of thing. Not sure if they still do or not.

Kelly could take him, the little fa**ot.
Jimmy Kimmel roasts Donald Trump for claiming Biden spent “$8 million on making mice transgender" and asks: "Are they so dumb they don’t know how to Google?"
“You hear the president of the United States say we’re spending $8 million to do sex change operations on mice. You say, ‘Well, I’m sure he’s exaggerating, but there must be something there.‘ Turns out there’s not. It’s not real. The government spent money on transgenic mice, which are genetically modified mice they use in lab tests to study disease. It has nothing to do with being transgender other than the ‘trans’ part of the word."
"You think they know this and just ignore it, or are they so dumb they don’t know how to Google? Or maybe they think we’re so dumb we don’t know how to Google? I don’t know. They’re turning Mickeys into Minnies and Minnies into Mickeys! No, they’re just trying to cure dementia and heart disease, which you would think Trump would be for seeing as how they are both coming for him real soon."

Dumbest Person on Twitter Strikes Again: Wajahat Ali Faceplants With Attempted Dunk on SpaceX
There is an informal debate in ... ahem ... certain corners of Twitter every once in a while for the official title of 'Dumbest Person on the Platform.' Two of the perennial finalists for that crown are always Ian Millhiser and Wajahat Ali (who we not-so-affectionately call 'Wajasshat').

And while Millhiser certainly has some jaw-dropping boners to his credit -- most recently when he denounced the Constitution to try to 'own' Donald Trump -- it's starting to look like Ali is ending the debate once and for all by running away with the title forever.
Two of his epic faceplants JUST LAST MONTH ALONE included blaming Trump for a place crash that happened ... in Canada and claiming it was a 'victory against racism' that the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl.
It is almost impossible to imagine being that broken.
Last night, Ali sought to cement his place at the top of Dumbass Mountain by taking on Elon Musk and Space X.
As many on Twitter witnessed yesterday, one of SpaceX's prototype Starships broke up shortly after liftoff in Texas and crashed in a brilliant light show over the Bahamas.
There was no one aboard the experimental test flight, of course, but Ali still couldn't resist ignorantly trying to claim that Musk and SpaceX were 'putting astronauts at risk.'
