Sports media is failing fans.

Two months ago, the NBA and MLB had players and coaches indicted by the federal government for placing bets on games. In previous eras, this would be a crisis.

Now? Crickets.

My dad a day after 1/6 was rattled, borderline horrified. Two weeks later he was asking me how I could get so worked up about a walking tour of the U.S. Capitol. Propaganda works!

Captain Mark Kelly earned his rank.

Now his decades of service are being attacked by a drunk and a draft dodger.

Full on lunacy on display by the Government. Peter Thiel, Palantir's owner, is a techno-fascist. We should be disengaging from US Big Tech not subjugating UK sovereignty to US corporate interests.
Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.
