60 Minutes is dead. No matter who takes over and runs the show or whoever they hire to try (and fail) to replace the talent Bari Weiss fired because of ego, inexperience, and ineptitude, they are in effect taking on the role of Jay Leno joining The Tonight Show.

Re-watching House on Prime and I've come to the conclusion that its turning point downhill was the death of Cutthroat Bitch at the end of a Writers Strike shortened season 4. I'm not necessarily objecting to the killing off of the character but it didn't carry the punch it should have.

The difference between David Ellison and Rupert Murdoch is that Rupert Murdoch is quite smart and knows that different brands do different things and making The Wall Street Journal into Fox News would lose him a ton of money.

And from the "You seriously expected a different outcome? file...

Oh man this is 100% correct might have to replace Clark or Dray for Luka. Plum and LeBron are locked in. They’re the Washington and Lincoln of foul whining. They should be on currency that you only get when sending back food at NBA arenas. bsky.app/profile/dell...

The active basketball player Mt. Rushmore of complaining about a foul On. Every. Single. Goddamn. Play: Kelsey Plum LeBron James Draymond (Still love him) Caitlin Clark

This is the most CBS thing CBS could ever do... www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/20...

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha (Analysts at JP Morgan get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to write this bullshit.)

RE: Frontier accident in Denver. Why is media calling this guy a "pedestrian"? He was an *intruder*.

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

This is a news peg for a previous plea, that the Pulitzer board award the Miami Herald's Julie Brown a special citation, having missed the chance to give her the investigative prize years ago. www.pulitzer.org/prize-winner...

“They have also asked Congress to suspend the 7.5% federal excise tax on airline tickets and $5.30 per segment tax. Waiving ‌the ⁠fees would offset about one-third of the incremental cost of higher jet fuel.” GTFO. That’s absolutely absurd. That money is vital to keeping airports functioning.

(Fox News' international coverage has basically been reduced to being a running commentary on/snipping at CNN's international coverage. One involves putting on a flack jacket and risking your life to get the facts. The other should involve being loudly told to do the same or shut up).

The version of this that makes me particularly irate is five people sitting around in the safety of a Manhattan studio casting judgement on the work done by actual journalists out in a war zone.

This is also the perfect screenshot for what way too much of cable news has become. Five people sitting around talking about an opinion piece or tweet written by a sixth person who ain’t even on the set. There’s no actual ~news~

Maybe. But add The Electric State and the picture changes...

Probably. But your unhealthy obsession with Air Bud does give me pause about your judgement.

Odd that a network that got sued and paid out 16 million dollars for allegedly selectively editing an interview, selectively edits an interview of the guy who sued them. newrepublic.com/post/209590/...

I wrote about the very credible lawsuits from Alvin Brown, fired last year, and the expected lawsuit from Todd Inman, who was fired last month. After reading, you decide if the NTSB is still a non political entity. colleenmondor.substack.com/p/46-the-nts...

It is like they never heard Deep Cover (aka 187) by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg.

The strategy is old Roy Cohn, always attack and when countered attack some more. There is no actual defense. And it kind of works until everyone gets so tired of it, they just start ignoring you. (Unless you’re president and then you can’t be entirely ignored).

People stupid enough to want this don't travel outside their home town, let alone have passports. I hope these all rot in a cardboard box somewhere.

1) There's no reason an administrator at NASA should care how a Solar System body is categorized. 2) NASA isn't the org that makes classification determinations for Solar System objects. 3) If Isaacman wants Pluto reclassified again, he can lobby the International Astronomical Union on his own time.

Kash Patel says the investigation took something like 9-11 months and is still ongoing. when it’s officially closed, worth a FOIA to find out how much in resources went into investigating a single photograph published to Instagram.

Bari’s whole claim (I know, I know) has been putting “hard news and investigations back into the core of the CBS News identity.” Getting a crew into Tehran would have been a massive coup and she decided not to go.

Damning detail in here: CBS had managed to secure a visa to get into Iran and Bari opted not to send anyone.

“Can’t do the f’ing news if you keep firing everyone” is the moral of this story

Some of those cuts pre-date Bari, some of those are holes that Bari has punched into the org chart herself. But the cumulative effect is pretty clear and it’s why CBS is not only No. 3, it hasn’t even seen its ratings pick up like ABC and NBC have with everything going on.

Bari’s “hard news” CBS doesn’t have a Justice Department correspondent, a full time Pentagon correspondent; a science correspondent; an economics correspondent; State Dept correspondent; a bureau in Central/South America, the Middle East or Africa; or a London bureau chief to shortstop what’s left

I'm planting my flag on this now but we'll see if it holds up: By the end of 2026, Norah O'Donnell will be the face of 60 Minutes...

Trump’s judgment that Iran would simply not use the most obvious leverage it has, contra to the advice of US intelligence agencies, will go down as one of the biggest blunders in decades: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

When I pulled into the gas station the price was $4.11 and I watched it flip over to $4.21 right as I started to fill my car so I assume all that negotiating stuff is not going well

At an airport, they are called "rampers"...

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

It may seem strange that a website so hostile to AI Slop falls so easily for faked images, but let us judge not that we be not judged.

There is basically no point in doing defense strategy. Most own goals of any organization. www.airandspaceforces.com/pentagon-lea...

Turning into a huge story and deservedly so as it cuts straight to the quick of what RFK & Co. claim to be doing at the CDC/HHS

Tesla ran a pipe into a ditch, which inspectors found a black liquid pouring out of. The liquid tested positive for hexavalent chromium, familiar to anybody who has seen “Erin Brockovich.”

She’s representing herself. Wow.

This is really something. Her logic is that if a private company operates out of a public airport it becomes, by default, a state agent.

I am old enough to remember when Safeway NEVER had paper bags with handles... ...and we managed just fine.

This is incredibly well reported, very comprehensive, and also very sad. Well worth your time and highly recommended.

NYT INVESTIGATION: As the Trump administration & Congress last year moved to repeal sanctions on Syria, the Qatar-based family that most stood to benefit was privately negotiating a real-estate partnership with Jared Kushner and proposing a Trump golf course in Syria www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...

Love to personally denigrate someone's experience both professionally and personally and then hit the mute button instead of engaging in an actual debate. Hunter, if you want to actually have a conversation, let's grab a beer at Boat Bar.

If it’s so great, why has it been developed in secret?
