Well, This Explains It

ICYMI or forgot about the Right Wing owner of CNN…

“The leading shareholder in Warner Brothers Discovery is John Malone, a multibillionaire cable magnate.

Malone describes himself as a ‘libertarian’ although he travels in rightwing Republican circles. In 2005, he held 32% of the shares of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. He is on the board of directors of the Cato Institute. In 2017, he donated $250,000 to Trump’s inauguration.

Malone has said he wants CNN to be more like Fox News because, in his view, Fox News has ‘actual journalism’. Malone also wants the ‘news’ portion of CNN to be ‘more centrist.”

He’s also the largest individual land owner in the country.

IT WAS A SET UP.

For trump.

Here’s Who Should REALLY Drop Out of the Race

From Palmer Report:

Immediately after the Biden-Trump debate ended, numerous talking heads on MSNBC and CNN either suggested that Biden should drop out of the race, or claimed that discussions were underway for Biden to drop out of the race. Shortly thereafter, the New York Times published an op-ed calling for Biden to drop out. The rationale from all of them was the same: after Biden’s debate performance, he supposedly had no chance of defeating Trump.

But a funny little thing like reality is now coming into play. Some of these same outlets had focus groups that declared Biden the winner of the debate. And in the first major post-debate poll released, Biden has gained a point and is now ahead of Trump.

These are just individual data points, but they fall precisely in line with what one could have reasonably expected. Neither Biden nor Trump came off well in the debate, so it therefore wasn’t going to help or hurt either one of them by any meaningful measure.

So here’s the real question. When the dust settles and we see that the debate didn’t hurt Biden at all, will MSNBC and CNN and the New York Times all agree to drop out of journalism? At the least they should all formally apologize to their audiences for what was at best an incredibly clueless take suggesting that they have no idea how politics even works, and at worst an intentionallyfull of crap take suggesting that they were misleading their audiences on purpose.

From theaidsmemorial:

“I took this image of a Navy friend, Jim, at a house I was living back in 1984. Being a Navy photographer at the time, I would take more than just snapshots of friends. On this night, I took Jim with some harsh lighting. This being my favorite. He was not at a low point during his time in the Navy. He had been reflecting back to how much easier it was when he was a kid.

I was transferred overseas in early 1985, and lost touch with Jim. When I returned from overseas years later, I found out of his passing.

After my Navy career I was attending college. One of my electives was a photography class. During that class we had an assignment to put images together into a book. We could use any image we had taken during our lives. I put one of the images I had taken of Jim all those years ago in 1984. I was using Photoshop at the time so I added text to some of the images in my book.

To Jim’s image I added a quote from an Elizabeth Akers Allen poem titled “Rock Me To Sleep.”

“Backward, turn backward,
O Time in your flight,
Make me a child again
just for tonight!”

It seems he has been gone a lifetime. Rest in Peace Jim.” — by Chuck Cavanaugh
