Perfection. No notes. Bonus points for causing me to say Loachapoka with a Southern accent.

I am in Izzy & Dizzy mode this am and found this gem in the San Angelo Evening Standard from Aug. 14, 1953. Even then, Dizzy Davis was known for giving away a money gimmick to Gorgeous George!

on one end you have this massive right wing propaganda bullhorn lying about what Democrats stand for

bolstered by a corporate press that's routinely gamed by Republicans to validate and amplify these lies

then you have pundits wondering why the electorate so often votes against its best interests

not only do you have a vast right wing propaganda network that's growing all the time (NY Post, Fox News, Sinclair, AM Radio, now CBS, probably soon TikTok), you have a corporate press that's been fecklessly bullied for a generation to be soft on Republicans lest they be accused of "liberal bias"

Bari Weiss Gets To Work ‘Fixing’ CBS ‘Bias’ — By Making It More Biased

3 times in the past 2 weeks, a WashPost editorial "has taken on matters in which Bezos has a financial or corporate interest without noting his stake. In each case, the Post's editorial line landed in sync with its owner's interests"

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Honestly a more embarrassing thing for the head of a major news organization to say than “let’s do the fucking news.”

Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, surprised senior staff at the venerable news program "60 Minutes" during a meeting on Tuesday when she asked a provocative question:
Why does the country think you're biased?

New York's Richest Ask 'how Dare He?' as Mamdani Closes In on City Hall
The city's 1% realize their influence is waning: It's hard to be chill and relaxed'

It was just after finishing a set of pelvic floor exercises that a Pilates instructor on the Upper East Side recently brought up one of the least popular men in the neighborhood: New York City
mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani,.

All of a sudden the class, which costs $50 a pop, became something of a political confab. In between sets, some women strategized about helping former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo,
who they see as more palatable, pull off an upset. Others gushed about a recent New York Post cover depicting Gov. Kathy Hochul, who had recently endorsed Mamdani, as a devotee of Mao Zedong.

New York's richest residents can't stop talking about Mamdani, the Democratic nominee. To many of the city's uber-wealthy, his sustained
popularity has been a shock. The 33-year-old, self. described Democratic Socialist is the overwhelming favorite to win City Hall next month, on a platform that includes free buses and free child care--programs that, the moneyed
are well aware, somebody needs to shell out for.

"I hope Mamdani is going to give out free Xanax," said Caroline Leventhal, a lifelong Upper East sider who co-founded 'Mic'd and Medicated," a podcast that dissects the lifestyle of cosmetic surgeries and private ski instructors. "It's hard to
be chill and relaxed."
