Satellite and streaming TV service Dish Network reported losing 273,000 subscribers during the fourth quarter, proving that cord cutting continues among TV customers. The loss is more than double the 133,000 lost subscribers over the fourth quarter in 2021, the Hollywood Reporter said. The drop is startling, compared to the loss of only 13,000 subscribers in the third quarter of this year.
The company’s report includes the loss of subscribers to its Dish pay TV services as well as its Sling TV streaming service. The company reported losing about 70,000 subscribers for Sling TV and 200,000 for the satellite service. Dish satellite lost more than a million subscribers between 2020

This past week while President Biden puttered about the White House, addled and confused, in his rainbow-striped pajamas, two surveys were released that should chill the blood of even the most progressive among us who still think we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. The first survey was conducted by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and reported that 23% of America’s college students now think it’s okay to use violence to silence those with whom they disagree, and 66% currently support shouting down a campus speaker whose ideas they don’t like.(Snip)The second survey hails from the Trafalgar Group.

The left-wing New York Times reporter and creator of the controversial 1619 Project accused the media of depicting 'insidious racism' in its heavy coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine—compared to other conflicts—and accused some journalists only have concern for 'Europeans with blond hair and blue eyes.' 'Every journalist covering Ukraine should really, really look internally. This is why I say we should stop pretending we have objectivity and in instead acknowledge our biases so that we can report against them. Many of us see the racialized analysis and language,' Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted Sunday. Hannah-Jones, whose 1619 Project initiative aims to reframe American history by placing

Billionaire Democrat megadonor George Soros says the United States, and other transatlantic nations, must “do whatever is in their power” to back Ukraine against Russia in the ongoing conflict overseas. After Russia first invaded Ukraine on February 24, Soros says the U.S. and its allies ought to have as much involvement in the conflict as possible even as Americans overwhelmingly oppose U.S. involvement. “I have witnessed Ukraine transform from a collapsing part of the Soviet Union to a liberal democracy and an open society,” Soros wrote in a series of statements online.
“It is important that both the transatlantic alliance (the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United

Washington—Nearly half of the 500 million free COVID-19 tests the Biden administration recently made available to the public still have not been claimed as virus cases plummet and people feel less urgency to test. Wild demand swings have been a subplot in the pandemic, from vaccines to hand sanitizer, along with tests. On the first day of the White House test giveaway in January, COVIDtests.gov received over 45 million orders. Now officials say fewer than 100,000 orders a day are coming in for the packages of four free rapid tests per household, delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.(Snip)The White House says Americans have placed 68 million orders

He might be penniless, but he’s got the power. The city has apparently turned a blind eye to a homeless man siphoning electricity from an East Village light pole for months to his new abode: a tent in Tompkins Square Park. Abdur-Rashiyd “JK” Rivera, 54, has lived the past three chilly winter months in shocking conditions, staking his home down in the trash-strewn south side of the popular park.(Snip)The tent man said he’s been approached some days by as many as four different city agencies, including the Department of Homeless Services, which boasts an annual budget of $2.1 billion. “The only thing the homeless services do,

New York—Members of the FDNY rank-and-file gathered for two funerals this week, as some among the department expressed concern about six deaths involving active personnel since early December.
The ages of those who died ranged from 31 to 60. Three of the deaths happened off-duty. The three that happened on duty were under review by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The cause of death in the first incident, involving probationary firefighter Vincent Malveaux, who was 31, was still “pending further study,” the ME said nearly three months after Malveaux collapsed during training on Randalls Island at the FDNY Academy.

A former FBI agent is raising questions about Brian Laundrie's suicide after an autopsy revealed that he shot himself on the left side of the head—even though he was right-handed—before he was found dead in a Florida swamp in October. Retired agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called the finding 'bothersome.' 'Because it does not fit with a right-handed person committing suicide with their off hand,' she told RadarOnline.(Snip)Coffindaffer posits that Laundrie, 23, may have been ambidextrous—or that someone may have helped him kill himself. 'I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all but I cannot ignore facts, nor can I ignore statistics,' she said.

Long before the FBI accused the Minnesota nonprofit Feeding Our Future and some of its prime contractors of fraud, the federal government's child nutrition programs were wasting more than $1 billion a year on "improper payments," according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The GAO first raised the issue of sloppy oversight in 1999, when a whistleblower complained about financial irregularities at a California nonprofit, spurring a nationwide investigation that led to the convictions of at least 28 people on charges of defrauding the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). But the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees more than $20 billion in spending on meals for children,

A primary school has sparked fury among parents by inviting a drag queen to perform a show for children. Hollymount Primary School in Raynes Park, South London, hosted the burlesque entertainer Dolly Trolley during its 'This Is Me' day last Tuesday as part of a week-long celebration of diversity. Wearing knee-high leather boots and a low-cut sequined dress, Dolly Trolley taught a dance to pupils aged nine and over before reading to pupils aged five to nine.(Snip)'My daughter said she felt weird and didn't like it. She said a lot of the teachers were pulling funny faces when Dolly came out in a very revealing

A market in Wuhan, China, that sold live animals likely was the point of origin for the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a pair of studies released Saturday. “When you look at all of the evidence together, it’s an extraordinarily clear picture that the pandemic started at the Huanan market,” said Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who co-authored both studies, told the New York Times. The studies have yet to be published in a scientific journal. Researchers analyzed data from a variety of sources to seek clues to how the pandemic began. They concluded it was present in live mammals

“LGBT+ rights” are the most important “values and hard won freedoms” distinguishing “us” from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Richard Moore, chief of MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, wrote on Friday. Moore did not specify if his use of “us” was a reference to the United Kingdom, the Anglosphere, or the broader West.(Snip)He wrote, “With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights. So let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022.” Moore highlighted an “LGBT+ support group” within MI6 to illustrate his emphasis of “LGBT+ rights”
