Bruno is listed with a seven-foot-frame, but he's really only 6'10" in sneakers. His arms are very long, though, and he's got great lateral movement, so he can guard everyone from wings to centers.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

There was a lot of news on my beat while I've been on parental leave, I think I'll do some mini-takes.
Tucker Carlson's Jan. 6 special was particularly worrisome because it shows not only because he's basically in Infowars territory, but that Fox is willing to take the hit to let him do it.
In the wake of Carlson's Patriot Purge, Fox lost Stephen Hayes, Jonah Goldberg, and Chris Wallace -- each with more than a decade at the network. And that's after Carlson antics led to Shep Smith leaving the network a few years back. Fox brass prioritizes keeping Tucker happy.

**emerges from a vast sea of diapers**

It's Election Day in Virginia, so here's a thread with some relevant stuff I wrote this year about the Fox/GOP effort to make the gubernatorial election all about "critical race theory."
The right’s cynical “critical race theory” obsession breaks through in the VA gov race mediamatters.org/critical-race-… Image
Fox News ran nearly 100 segments on “critical race theory” in Virginia school systems from March through June, nearly five hours of coverage mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n… Image

Some very exciting news!
I will be availing myself of the generous @mmfa parental leave policy for the next few months. I will not be watching Fox News. I will be staying off this site instead of randomly tweeting “THE POOP MUST FLOW” or “THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED” all the time. See you all in January!

1. Tucker Carlson's snide dismissal of paternity leave is in stark contrast to his network's paternity leave policy, which his male colleagues rave about. mediamatters.org/fox-news/tucke…

Right, Fox corporate doc highlighting how its "parental leave policy allows eligible new parents to bond with their children for a substantial period with full pay." ImageImage

Good roundup here from Judd of the constellation of right-wing groups in play here.
Another major organization he mentions in the piece, "Fight for Schools," is headed by Ian Prior, a political operative who previously worked at the NRCC, Karl Rove's American Crossroads, the McConnell-allied Senate Leadership Fund, and the Trump DOJ mediamatters.org/fox-news/foxs-…
Fox News regularly tries to pass off GOP activists as regular concerned parents. Yesterday they repeatedly featured the head of "Educators for Youngkin" as a "Fairfax County Parent." mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-s…

Fox is still passing off GOP activists -- including the chair of "Educators for Youngkin" -- as simply concerned Virginia parents mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-s…
Bill Hemmer opened a segment on Fairfax County parents "defending the right to speak out about what is taught in their kids’ schools."

Who did Fox talk to?
This "Fairfax County Parent" is a former Trump Education Department official who is now a senior fellow at a right-wing group.
