A little bit about myself.

I probably think these guys do believe that their politics don’t interfere with the news, it’s just that they believe there is a different set of facts and truth or that some facts have a higher moral weight. You see that in coverage of Gaza where the events of Oct. 7 outweigh any event afterwards.

Unfortunately, I can't give anyone a view into my heart and mind, but I can share this: I have regularly voted for candidates of both parties; I hold some views that would be called conservative and others that would be called liberal, just like most Americans; and when it comes to our news operations, I do not aspire to lead these companies to bend their newsrooms to my views. I believe that news should be based on facts and truth.
Great news organizations like CNN and CBS News are here to tell it straight down the middle. That requires newsrooms that reflect the whole world, not one side of it. And it requires independence.
Our journalists will continue to answer to the facts and to all the people they serve - not to any party or cause. These were founding principles for both CNN and CBS News, for legends like Ted Turner and Edward R. Murrow, and it is exactly that kind of independence that has always fueled the greatness of "60 Minutes."

For me, I can handle words on a screen. Like, if I see something I don't want to see in my feed, I can just ignore it, engage with it, block it. As long as the site doesn't amplify it, I'm fine. That may not be the case for everyone, I get that, but for me…sure, as the kids say "come at me, bro."

If you’re thinking of getting into following the WNBA and looking for a team, you can get on the Lynx bandwagon not only because they are currently the #1 team but they’ve also been the most ethical team for over a decade.

Because Tobias Lütke is getting a whole lot of pushback about his pay-to-play voting endorsement, I’m willing to bet that he doubles down like they all do.

Ugh. Watched that whole Elon interview. Do not recommend. Off-the-shelf bluffer. Very confident in his predictions but has had such a poor record even on the predicted outcomes of the things he fully controls. Trump uses “two weeks”, Musk uses “10 years”.
