It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

I have a potentially hot take
I don't think you can prevent what we're seeing with Kiffin/LSU/Ole Miss with better contracts or tweaks to the calendar.
I think we need a sense of professional honor, and failing that, *shame*, to actually set standards of acceptable behavior for coaches and admins

yep. no mention in the article of right wing billionaires ruining the WaPo and CBS. no mention of Murdoch outlets spreading right wing bullshit for decades. no mention of the clear biases of nuzzi and tapper and so many other famous journalists. no mention of destruction of teen vogue.
I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”
