The latest in the race to the bottom by @cnn.com @cnn-news.bsky.social is that they’re taking @jimacosta.bsky.social off the air to placate DJT

I just saw, belatedly, that @washingtonpost.com has changed their mission statement to “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

STORYTELLING. No mention of journalism, news, truth, analysis, insight, etc.
Storytelling.

Give them credit for transparency on who/what they’re not anymore??

President John F Kennedy giving his inaugural speech without wearing a topcoat in the 22 degree/windchill 7 degree weather.
When asked why he didn’t move the ceremony indoors, he allegedly replied, “Because I’m not a pu**y”

A small example of how low @cnn.com has sunk - resorting to click bait like this totally non-news, misleading headline which omits the fact that the Bidens are following US law of both declaring and turning over gifts to the government

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?

We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

"We should have free health care for all!"
"Who's gonna pay for it?" Says Mr. Smug
"The taxpayers"
"Who's gonna benefit from it?"
"The taxpayers"

See how that works? We need to stop ending the conversation at "who's gonna pay for it?" as if that's some brilliant Gotcha question.

How we got into this mess, and how we get out of it.
Capitalism is compatible with democracy only if democracy is the dominant partner. It was dominant from 1933 until 1980. Then hyper-capitalism took over, and finally gave us Trump.
