This is the legacy media contribution to covering the news in the last decade which is displayed by always applying a negative connotation to items they don't like from the "left" and to constantly apply false equivalence to rightwing extremist actions to soften their adverse effects.

Whenever someone adds "Big" in front of some group they reveal a conspiratorial laziness replacing better-sourced reasoning.

TACO at it again. But it was the stock manipulation that he really wanted.

The problem is she just can't produce ideological pap and expect viewers of the former CBS to turn their TVs on like robots & soak up the influence. More than likely people will just pass on the pushing of simplistic news "polishing".

There is a weird push online for nuclear power as more of a counter to renewable wind & solar. That mentality doesn't make much sense considering the massive cost of developing, building & maintaining a nuclear reactor vs the much quicker return on investment wind & solar provides.

With all the people being released b/c they shouldn't have been arrested in the first place Trump's numbers will wind up being a fraction of Biden's, Obama's or even Geirge Bush's numbers. Also, they are going to break the bank from settling all the wrongful detained lawsuits.

You can't take it with you, Thiel. Insatiable greed without a speed governor will burn down the economy.

Billions flying around without much besides a new computing toy, Artificial Intelligence. And we are about to devastate our power grid to attempt to power insatiable data centers. Data canter power demands probably paid by taxpayers.

Here's another bullshit story from people whose job it is to "supervise" instead of actually contributing to the bottom line. Companies spending millions on leasing wasted space. Employees forced to commute & eliminate their personal time to sooth people who look over your shoulder.
In-person work takes big leap in the Bay Area
A new poll suggests remote work is fading, and even hybrid models are losing ground.

Usually, when you force austerity on the population, it's not a good idea to throw money away on frivolous ideological pet projects.

A particularly inept and shallow take. Is this just repeating whatever you put out when they lose?

This Astros dynasty is dead. Is this the best thing for them?
There's always next year. Or is there?

The idea of a media figure being elevated to a status equal to the players is frigging typical American sports media.

As usual, Trump's self-centered declaration is typical of a goof who thinks the world orbits about him.

When you mention the coach before the actual players, you know you've jumped the shark. American sports media doesn't have a clue how to cover team sports.

It's like your barely there uncle watching the World Series on TV & then claiming he should get a ring because they "listened" to his advice as he screamed at the TV.

Well, that's what you get with the CPC and the shreds of the despondent NDP.
