I don’t know why anyone is surprised.

The U.S. federal government has stopped warning some social networks about foreign disinformation campaigns on their platforms, reversing a years-long approach to preventing Russia and other actors from interfering in American politics less than a year before the U.S. presidential elections, according to company officials.

Tech is not your friend. We are. Sign up for The Tech Friend newsletter.

Meta no longer receives notifications of global influence campaigns from the Biden administration, halting a prolonged partnership between the federal government and the world’s largest social media company, senior security officials said Wednesday. Federal agencies have also stopped communicating about political disinformation with Pinterest, according to the company.

The developments underscore the far-reaching impact of a conservative legal campaign against initiatives established to avoid a repeat of the 2016 election, when Russia manipulated social media in an attempt to sow chaos and swing the vote for Donald Trump.

I think the Irish scoundrel Callahan answered that for you above, ya tin horn sodbuster!  
 

Ironically, the show was considered a trailblazer as it was filmed in color at a time when most shows were exclusively offered in black and white. 🤯

Ya, it was colored alright, white washed. As was most TV and movies 

 

The amount of killings in that show, and more so in Gun Smoke,  is unreal. Matt Dillion must have killed over a thousand men over the life of the show. The Rifleman was another one

Of course they were unreal, ya goober, you’re talking about television shows of the 1970s.   Not much has changed, or are you still thinking Queen Latifah actually is a former CIA dark ops specialist on The Equalizer? 
 

I’ll regret asking this, but what got ya focused on the casting decisions of network television circa 1950s-1975?  
 

Btw—as far as I can recall, I first heard the term “sodbuster” on The Rifleman and was thinking of that show when I used it earlier.

Not much has changed? That's silly in the extreme 

 

I'm into history, and films, tv series etc are interesting for their entertainment value and the historical situation they were created in. I love TCM

TV shows then were mostly unreal. TV shows today are mostly unreal.  It’s neither silly, nor extreme.  
 

Thanks for the explanation…that stuff doesn’t really do much for me, but I can see why it might be of interest to others.

I think you meant to say they are/were "unrealistic." I assure you they are "real," as they exist as artistic expression of the writers, actors and producers. 

 

Did Laurel and Hardy or Seinfeld represent "real life"? No, but so what, they are funny. Did the movie "Casablanca" represent a real war time situation? Not at all, but it was good drama with great acting, a good story with plot twists, and when Elsa Young calls Sam the black piano player a "boy" you really see how race relations played out in Hollywood. The movie Midway, one of my favs, was from the 1970's, and while it is telling the basic story of how the battle unfolded, it adds sympathetic section on a Navy fighter pilot who fell in love with a Japanese girl. Compare that to how the Japanese were depicted during the war, and it is interesting to many people.
