Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?

NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Revenge.
Intimidation.
Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

Maybe it’s just me, but I suspect lots of women are not as shocked by the Epstein story as men because we’ve been dealing with and living in rape culture since we were children. A thing to think about if you are a man policing women’s responses to this story for appropriate levels of outrage

We all remember her official response to the SOTU, right?

What even is this NYT piece? The free press campaigns for junior senators, now?
Senator Katie Britt of Alabama stands fully behind President Trump in public, but at times seeks to wield influence behind the scenes, guided by her personal values as a mother and a Christian. Her approach faces an acute test as federal immigration agents pursue aggressive tactics in Minnesota.

And also.... They're bad men.
I am enjoying talking heads spiraling because Kraft and Belichick aren’t being put in the HOF this round. I don’t care if they were snubbed or not. Welcome to every other fan base where we’ve had players screwed over.

Same, Chris.
My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

Poor Beatrice and Eugenie, honestly. They don't deserve these parents.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Do I love Sha'Carri Richardson?
Yes.

Do I think she deserved to go to jail for going 104 mph in a 65 mph?
Also yes.

See how easy that is?
