Posted By: Imright, 11/29/2023 8:06:18 AM
It’s hard to imagine how American media could get any worse. One surefire way to do it would be to make journalists and media outlets wards of the state. Can you imagine a media that relies on government to get funded and paid? They already act like activists and this would only encourage them to do so. This would basically make all of the media like PBS and NPR. The Washington Examiner reports: Top journalism school pushes taxpayer funding of reporters and media outlets. As the death spiral ravaging local news picks up speed, eliminating one-third of all newspapers since 2005, calls are growing for taxpayers and corporations to cover

Think — if we don’t support Ukraine, what’s the rest of the world going to do? What’s Japan going to do … What’s going to happen in terms of the G7? What’s going to happen in terms of our NATO allies?

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan’s probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictment against former President Donald Trump has seen an interesting turn of events. Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, has been looking into the indictment over suspicions that it is motivated more by politics than by a pursuit of justice.
On Tuesday, Jordan sent another letter to Willis highlighting her refusal to comply with the demands in the previous letter the committee sent. Of particular note, however, is a new revelation that Willis’ office reached out to the Democrats’ House Select Jan. 6 Committee to get information that could aid in her effort against Trump.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Aspen Public Radio Reporter Halle Zander reported on the town of Carbondale, Colorado, where a surge of migrants has overwhelmed local resources and forced migrants to sleep outside as temperatures drop.
Zander reported on a migrant from Venezuela who went to Carbondale and “joined a group of about 125 migrants, mostly from Venezuela, who were living under a bridge at the entrance to the small town. She’s hopeful she can find stable housing nearby with her girlfriend and her girlfriend’s kids.” But “Carbondale doesn’t have many services to support unhoused people.

to 'learn to lose gracefully' to biological males 21 replies
Giving the pol who told women being raped to 'lie back and enjoy it,' a run for his money, we now have this unwanted advice, from the chief of a women's advocacy group: (Snip) Graves was giving testimony in Congress about transgender athletes dominating women's sports, owing to their athletically superior biological male bodily structures.
She claimed that transgender athletes, who are basically taking virtually all the medals in women's sports now, are no different from actual women in competitive sports. Winning, she claimed with a smiley face, was all about "having really good resources and facilities," "coaching" and "how hard you work."
Far-left squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made the false claim that “all” girls will have their genitals examined if laws are passed banning men from women’s sports.
The noted socialist made her bizarre claim during a hearing with the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health this Tuesday, which featured activist swimmer Riley Gaines. According to AOC, laws banning men from women’s sports include policies that would force girls to have their genitals checked if someone disbelieves their expressed gender.
“We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations
