And Tyrell Hatton, the English Shane Lowry, puts it away. Europe went into the raving asshole den of Trump's America and shoved it in their faces for two days, and then held on in the face of the American charge on Sunday, and that was a beautiful Ryder Cup, beginning to end.

Why France, Britain and Canada turned against Netanyahu – and why now
The Carney-Starmer-Macron statement marks a sharp turn away from Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States, and the trio’s traditional approach to the Middle East

Yeah yeah, retentions and term and whatever, but hard to look at what Toronto spent today and what Marchand just went to Florida for and pretend that the former was tidy business in any way

This a great moment to remember and highlight the fact that the state is utterly necessary, that it can do big, bold, necessary things to help people.

The huge impacts of these tariffs make it even more clear how decades of free trade agreements with the US negotiated under Conservative and Liberal govts have been a disaster and has led to an erosion of Canadian sovereignty and lower standards for workers and local economies.

The question was not “misunderstood” @ianhanomansing.bsky.social. It was wrong. Just admit it and move on. Every time you belittle people for taking you to task you undermine your alleged intent. This is serious. Be serious.

This is why people are suspicious of you now, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social. You keep strawmanning the objections and ignoring the substance of the criticism. It does not show any self-awareness or integrity. The objection was the framing. Not the topic. Stop pretending otherwise.

This should be the wall to wall promo for Cross country checkup. I've never read anything more accurate.
Well, that sucked. That was absolutely terrible. This was terrible radio, atrocious journalism and I am stupider and madder for having listened to it. Cross-country Checkup is never very good but this really just take a new shit cake.

Also, and I can’t believe I have to say this, NPR and CBC, but annexing sovereign countries isn’t a “proposal.” Not Poland, not Iraq, not Canada - no “proposals” in any of these cases. It’s not a grant application, it’s a violation of international law and an abomination.

@timabray.bsky.social bringing it as he so often does.
My charitable take on this: I think @ianhanomansing.bsky.social believes good will is sufficient. Research, expertise, and accuracy are not as important as good intentions. He means no harm so, therefore, everyone should calm down.
No. Good prep is crucial with such a sensitive topic. Facts matter.

Right off the top, this show is a load of illiterate nonsense. I’m appalled at the minimizing. “Some people” were not outraged at discussing the issue. That’s a strawman. People are upset about the normalizing language and the ignoring of basic democratic facts.

The journalistic fetish for both-sides discourse instead of truth is one of the principal causes of the US descent into fascism and apparently Canada has learned nothing.
So against my better judgment, I listened to a bit of CBC’s “conversation” about Trump’s threats. It’s every bit as bad as expected. A Trump voter was allowed to talk about how she prays that we “return to freedom” with no meaningful pushback from the “journalists”. Just on to the next caller

It would be nice if @ianhanomansing.bsky.social developed a perspective as a journalist that goes beyond it’s important to hear from both sides.

A dogmatic adherence to "being balanced" in my opinion makes someone's journalism much less useful.
Someone I really respect once told me that journalists need to be biased towards the truth. I try to remember that whenever I'm working on something.

The funny thing about Cross Country Check-Up both-sidesing annexation is that they did not do anything wrong, the problem is that they followed their journalistic standards too well
When journalism is not rooted in any moral values beyond “objectivity” and “balance,” this is the natural outcome
