SectionC3

And, perversely, the injury might have been good for them too. Allen got to play a bit, sit back without being benched, and then made some significant strides when he returned to the field (with Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley around).

I don’t disagree. But I think it’s going to happen faster than people think now. The NFL props a lot of the nets up. Kind of like malls that don’t make a buck until Black Friday. If I’m Disney and the affiliates want to give me a hard time, I’m more inclined to sell direct to consumer via streaming and leave OTA.

Not true. I understand it well. Local news is a piece of what these guys do. But don’t forget that cross promotion drives viewership. It leads, if you will. If what you’re saying is true, then there’d be no need to be with a network and some peashooter like WBBZ in Buffalo would have greater value to support a robust news department etc. It’s not there. Ask around - the most valuable inventory for these people is local avails for national shoes (now, principally, sports). *** I just read your whole post. Frankly I don’t think we’re too far apart, and that you misread what I wrote. I agree that local TV is headed the way of radio. That’s why Kimmel’s recent success might hasten ABC’s movement to a streaming conglomerate. Nexstar and Scripps want to preempt? Get your programming somewhere else, says ABC. And then buy the stations later for a song if you want that OTA option and after Nextstar can’t make its nut.

You want to know who the loser is in this? Nexstar and its merge partner (Scripps?). What are those stations going to broadcast without ABC? Old time shows like WBBZ in Buffalo? Other dreck? Good luck making your nut on that. In the meantime, ABC learned that it can spread this content to a wide audience via Hulu and YouTube. So maybe OTA TV is in trouble. But the content that these networks can broadcast online is not. I would be pissing bullets if I was at Nextstar, etc.

Not necessarily. It just means there's legally sufficient evidence of a crime (whatever he was indicted for). Proving it is a different matter. I haven't read anything about this case other than this thread and a couple of reports about the AG's skepticism with respect to the case. The skepticism is natural b/c perjury cases are tough to prove. So we'll see. Try the case and let's find out. Except J6ers. They're all above the law.

J6 choir. Hoax. There is some cool stuff on here, though. Karma Police is a great song. If you're not thinking about anuses, then you're posting about balls. Gross.

Yeah, you haven’t been around enough to see the other side of the systemic racism coin. I agree that, at some point, AA has to go away. But to call it evil or what have you simply reflects a lack of real life experience. Misused, perhaps, but certainly not of ill intent.

I wonder how he feels about J6.

Sounds like you hang out with a good crowd. It’s not the crowd that I see. And I run in a LOT of different circles. There’s too many losers out there who want to blame someone else (immigrants, Chinese, parents, women) for their struggles. They need to shut up and outwork the people they complain about.

Another reason why they should stop listening to podcasts and go out and find work. It’s not just young men on the “left” who are lost. It’s men on the right side, or at least what they see is the modern day right, too. Here’s an example. Four twentysomethings sat near me at the Bills game last week. Each of them cheered for Charlie Kirk. One of them screamed “f you, b” at a woman who didn’t clap for the memorial. All of them dipped, bought booze, and generally whined about their jobs, living with their parents, what chick they believed they could bang but really had no shot to any rational observer, etc. what’s the moral of the story? The video game generation is lost, on both sides, try all need to grow up, get a job, get off the internet, show some responsibility and accountability, and get to work. Stop medicating with booze, podcasts that tell them they aren’t losers, video games, and braggadocio and make a better life for themselves.

J6 pardons. Chris Collins pardon.

I believe you said “illegal criminals.” Let’s assume that being here illegally is criminal. Seems like “illegals” would cover the criminality piece. But you continued and added “criminals,” which implies addition, or different illegal activity of, again in what I recall to be your words, “millions.” And that piece, simply, is a gross exaggeration. Prove me wrong. So, looks like you chose “inept” here. And you voted for inept. Prove me wrong.

Either that’s a gross embellishment (it is), these people are all masterminds and really good at hiding and doing crime at the same time (they’re not), or this administration’s deportation efforts are inept (which may be true). Prove me wrong.

Hoax. It's true. Just like the assassination was a moment in history. We'll see about the consequence of the moment in the years to come. When you mentioned racism and sexism I thought you were talking about Trump.

Stop the Steal!

You don't even know what Smith Mundt is. Not the faintest idea. And, as it happens, they didn't fire him. Or cancel the show. Looks like it was all about the FCC in the first place.

Trump.

What’s it say about republicans that he took over their party? Lots of people are saying that none of them was at J6.

The internet is grateful that you stopped thinking about other people's buttholes long enough to type that.

He probably should just way what Trump said at the Kirk funeral or on July 4, right? Hate this or hate that, something along those lines.

Or a cartoon. Don’t forget that. He loves him some cartoons.

Looks like it wasn’t ratings. It advertisers. Or budget. But the FCC threat. Prove me wrong.

And then what happened? You made peace with the Antifa Air Force? Trump negotiated a truce? Or you didn’t care because the whole thing was a put on in the first place and was ignored until Trump needed a boogeyman to politicize a murder and to distract from the Epstein coverup?

And yet nobody cared about "Antifa," despite the 2020 fears over its air force, until a boogeyman was needed, despite the fact that it was a "MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION" the whole time. What a crock. Meanwhile, the Epstein files sit on a shelf.

"MAGA" will forget about whatever rule it is they can't find in a few weeks, this will blow over, Kimmel will be back on released from his contract so he can go somewhere else, and they'll move on to the next shiny object, be it MAGA-ZA, Greenland, Canada, a remastered score from Cats, Don's 4D play to act like he has dementia but secretly not actually have it, the "fake news" starvation Gaza, or whatever else -
