What bothers me more is the writer's claim that she shouldn't be criticized, because she decided to play an enormously complex game and is winning. It's like Chuck Schumer insisting that folding is the key to starting a blue wave.

Gonna take a wild guess: The accompanying story was not nearly as nauseating as Jacob Bernstein's tongue-bath in the TIMES.

A good rule of thumb: anyone who can define the parameters of "Hebephilia" and "Ephebophilia"-- and can also tell you the age of consent in many states-- is not someone you want babysitting your child.

When I rewatched "Three Days of The Condor" after Redford died, two things made it unwatchable. Redford brutalizing Faye Dunaway sucked-- but when Redford tells Cliff Robertson he sent the details of the CIA's plot to the NYT, Pepsi flew out of my nose. Yeah, sure-- what good would that do?

So you're quoting Jeb Bush-- and expecting to not be ratioed? Good luck with that.

The problem with the sentence is that an opinion columnist (and not a smart one at that) wrote it.
Problem two is that he's quoting an opinion piece masquerading as a study, and not mentioning that.
Problem three is that the majority of political reporters already believe it.

Someone needs to brush up on what the phrase "the consent of the governed" means. She might not be done, but voters seem to have their minds made up.

You're assuming the elites mean "spoil the election." They mean "spoil our fantasy of unchecked looting."
Bill "The Cat" Ackman and his droogs expect whatever they want whenever they want it. Being denied due to laws, norms, ethics or fairness strikes them as a miscarriage of justice.

Marcy, this graphic is out of date. That blue blob in my neighborhood (Champaign–Urbana–Decatur–Springfield IL) was sold to Rincon in March; the FCC approved it in July. Rincon also bought stations in Missouri as well.

SInclair has a ton of debt, and Disney's fees for late-night programming are steep. When they've had to shift stations due to ownership rules, they often dump ABC, CBS and NBC (late night programs) and keep the Fox, CW and My Network outlets.
Probably not smart, but maybe not a stunt.

He was always bad, but the key events in the change were
1. Hanging out with Peter Sudeman and Jane Galt (whom he admitted, in print, to having a huge crush on),
2. Getting mugged in 2011
3. Getting incredibly rich, thanks to Ezra Klein (also a bad person to hang out with).

The person who contacted you would, if you told them they swallowed a bunch of horseshit about vaccines, indignantly claim that they did their own research.
They never gets that contacting you-- rather than the Naomi Wolf they wanted-- proves how much their research skills blow.
