Oh, I fully agree. However, I think it's important to give a special section to "Local TV Newscasts Owned by Groups" so we can give Sinclair the F- they deserve. Nexstar stations get a D, Gray gets a D, Scripps gets a C, Allen Media gets an F.

The instant I saw this photo, I smelled stale Virginia Slim butts crushed in a bar ashtray, each with copious lipstick markings showing constant renewals allowing no deviation from color intensity. Next is a wire-frame container with parchment cone now crumpled but still offering a few french fries.

You're hitting the hotspots of Midwestern writing and journalism. I remember when Gale Nye was a student/anchor at the NBC affiliate there; for a brief time, her oldest sister was married to Ted Turner, both sailors and the origin of Gale's spelling. Bloody Bulls were the favored poison of MO GSMs.

Or how using a brush-back shot to the right ear would appear in a BEZOS purchased Amazon Prime variation of a DC Animation just days before Butler.

A lot of utilities have already destroyed their coal fired plants. Those who haven't have plans to do so very soon. Nobody is going to paying "real money" for coal, it's just not feasible and that's the free market economy. Nobody wants it, there's cheaper alternatives.

US rejects bid to buy 167 million tons of coal on public lands for less than a penny per ton

Federal officials have rejected a company’s bid to acquire 167 million tons of coal on public lands in Montana for less than a penny per ton.

Can someone tell me if the writers/journalists at TheWarZone.com have agreed to the Pentagon restrictions? I'm a bit concerned I don't see any coverage of today's actions there.

Lee, this photo of a CIVILIAN who dressed up as a Las Vegas Metro cop in riot gear during the George Floyd protests was printed by the Adelson-owned Review-Journal, allowing the public to see the SS tattoo on the inside of his left arm. Sometimes you have to look closely, so take digital images.
