The Fairness Doctrine wouldn't have impacted Sinclair.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Tonight, I met with a great group of folks organizing around bringing an end to genocide in Gaza called the 71% Coalition. It was rewarding to talk to a group who is as frustrated with the Democratic Party establishment as I am.

Your annual reminder that the "Christmas with Weezer" EP is unironically one of the greatest collections of Christmas music ever, featuring genuinely moving versions of songs and carols, but is also like, a top 4 Weezer album. It sounds like a Blue album b-side EP!

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

We saw the prototype of the Nero Doctrine with Twitter. The goal wasn't to make it profitable or "free." The goal was to break the one place where news broke faster than the state could spin it.

They bought the town square not to speak in it, but to burn it down so we’d have nowhere else to gather.

Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isn’t a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out.

Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They don’t want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.

While difficult to fight the urge to doomscroll your time away, it is easier to resist if you have some serene content to turn to when the world seems to thrive only on bad news. Take a deep breath and some pond time with you into the new week as armor 💚

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke.

Among his diverse jobs in show business, from 1947–53 Van Dyke and a partner played in nightclubs with a comedy pantomime act, billed as the Merry Mutes.

Lucky for us, he didn't stay mute very long.
