Babbel USA @BabbelUSA

If you saw our ad on Tucker Carlson’s show, you’re right to be upset. We are too. While we did place our ad with Fox, we did not know it would air on a show so repugnant and at odds with our mission and values. We are blacklisting the show going forward. We are deeply sorry.

Bumbling conservative provocateur Jacob Wohl pitched investors this spring on a scheme to use fraudulent news stories to manipulate political betting markets, according to a fundraising document obtained by The Daily Beast.

The document indicates that Wohl attempted to raise $1 million to fund the Arlington Center for Political Intelligence, which he claimed would “make shit up” to profit from bets on political races and would suppress Democratic turnout in 2020.

“Backers will use ACPI’s insights in order to place profitable bets on political outcomes,” the pitch reads, adding that the group would also place bets themselves to guarantee a source of revenue.

The “confidential brief” makes other ambitious claims—promising to infiltrate 2020 Democratic campaigns and improve on social media manipulation by Russian troll farms to wreak havoc on Democrats.

Last night Tucker once again proved his value as a different voice in MSM.

Sigh. Charlie Manson and Jim Jones were also "different voices". I'll bet you would have followed them, too. You're as sorry as Whell, sadly.

I really don't get you, Don. Tucker fantasizes about sex with 14 year old young girls and you still think he's worth listening to? Do you have daughters? Granddaughters?

Imagine what would happen around the world if journalists, and the public, were not watching

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/r...eedom-day.html

What if we had to rely on Faux “News” and its resident hate-mongers like Carlson and Hannity? Or other hate-mongers like Limblow?

Thank goodness for real journalism like that of the NYT, WaPo, NPR, PBS and a few others. Sadly, fewer and fewer are willing to pay to support real journalism; newsrooms everywhere are being hollowed out, which is very much to the advantage of crooked politicians like Donny and, sadly, the majority of today’s GOP. Thanks to billionaires like Bezos for doing their part to support real journalism.

A great article that should be read by anyone concerned about the role of the free press, and especially by morons who believe they are gaining anything of value by watching Carlson et al.

’Faux & Friends’ Hosts Laud Trump Losing $1 Billion: ‘Wow, It’s Pretty Impressive’

In Whell’s World, ANYTHING Donny does is “impressive”, no matter how disgusting, illegal, corrupt... Sad!

For the benefit of you Trumpkins and Tucker worshippers. This is what real news sources do when they first get a story wrong. They publish a correction. I know, you’ve never seen Faux “News” do this. New and scary stuff to you guys, lol.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the Alabama Senate had voted to pass the nation’s strictest abortion bill.

Supreme Court of Texas dismisses defamation suit against Morning News, Kevin Krause

https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/n...in-krause.html

First Amendment still stands, even in Texas, even despite two lower courts not standing up for it. Good.
