B-Man Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 The Press Angered Over USA Hockey in MAGA Hats Completely Miss the Miracle of That Team The need to divide the nation over a team built on unity explains everything wrong with today’s media. This weekend was the 40th anniversary of the greatest sports story in this country’s history. (You can @-me to try to debate me on this, but it is futile.) In 1980, a group of upstart, hardscrabble collegians faced the superpower of the hockey world, the USSR, and upended the hockey world and helped to rejuvenate this nation, after a decade of social strife and economic morass. It was a uniquely unifying event, one that brought the nation together. And now, the press wants to cleave apart that bond over the team wearing hats. On Friday, President Trump held a rally and invited the members of The Miracle On Ice up on stage with him. The players donned the familiar red MAGA hats, and the press promptly flipped their lids. Suddenly, this team that all of America has embraced for decades was declared to be a triggering and divisive entity. I was going to say — imagine that a team representing this nation of liberty would be declared un-American for choosing to show up with the leader of the nation. You do not have to imagine; the press displayed just that for us. More at the link 1

Denmark is also a State in the European Union. With less population than Massachusetts. And people have the same ability to move from Denmark to another European country as Massachusetts residents have of leaving their State. Do they also talk with stupid accents and root for teams that cheat?

True -- I don't know how much more to it there is, but I know Disney+ took off like a rocket and that was his last pet project. There is an ongoing battle right now between Disney Channel and Disney+ (from the executive level down through the creative), not sure if that played a role in him leaving early at all but I know senior level management/executives were getting REAL salty last week with Disney+ taking all the new content. My significant other has a show there now which is caught right in the middle of the Disney+ v Disney Channel hubub so I hear a lot of gossip. I'll see what they're saying tonight.

My wife mentioned we get it with Verizon and since my son is 15, I really didn't pay it any mind. Then she added the app to the TV and damn if there isn't a crapload of great content. I have a lot of friends who are kind of Disney freaks...you know, the ones who can watch Aladdin for the millionth time and still enjoy it...and they are happy as can be with that channel.
B-Man Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 WATCH: ABC’s David Wright Admits Network Doesn’t Care About News FTA: In a newly released Project Veritas video, footage reveals ABC Correspondent David Wright admitting the network doesn’t care about newsworthy stories. “I feel terrible about it. I feel that the truth suffers, the voters are poorly informed, and people also have the opportunity to tune into whatever they want to hear,” Wright said. “And so, it’s like there’s no upside, or our bosses don’t see an upside in doing the job we’re supposed to do, which is to speak truth to power and hold people accountable.” {snip} Wright continued to admit ABC doesn’t hold Trump accountable nor give him credit for his successful policies. Instead, the network is far more interested in the outrage, investigations, and aspects of backstabbing allegedly happening within the White House. “We don’t hold [Trump] to account. We also don’t give him credit for what things he does do. Again, I think some of that at least in the place that I work and the places like it is that we’ve, with Trump we’re, interested in three things. We’re interested in the outrage of the day, the investigation, and of the palace of intrigue of who’s backstabbing whom. Beyond that, we don’t really cover the guy,” Wright said. This admission isn’t coming from a Trump-sympathizer. In the Project Veritas footage Wright can be heard declaring himself a socialist. When asked if he was a democratic socialist, he responded by saying he’s just a socialist. More at the link: . 3
