One problem with the "Bill Belichick masterminded this to destroy the Giants" theory is that the next question about Bill Belichick is gonna be "how many times has he known a white candidate was getting hired before the black candidate's interview without saying anything?"
It took my a while to catch that Belichick lies to Flores at the end when he claims to have "misread the text." His reference to Buffalo at the beginning of the convo only makes sense if he thinks he is texting Daboll, the guy going from Buffalo to NYG.

Fox News wanted viewers to hear an anti-vax trooper’s story – until he died of COVID.

The network has yet to mention Robert LaMay's passing, after turning him into a culture war hero for resigning rather than getting vaccinated. mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…
Fox News has tried to turn workers who refuse vaccine mandates into culture war heroes, even though the network itself voluntarily imposed a requirement that its own employees be either vaccinated or tested for COVID-19 daily.

LaMay became the latest such figure in October.
Fox hosts and others on the right promoted LaMay’s story and presented his refusal to take a lifesaving drug as an example their audiences could emulate.

There's a large body of people who are qualified for SCOTUS, you pick the one you want who clears that hurdle.

There's no consistent standard by which conservatives can say Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett were each the most qualified person for the job.
Think of how many qualified judges conservatives rejected just because they were old, how can you expect them to rule properly on age discrimination cases?
Anyway here's National Review editor Ramesh Ponnoru explaining that the "main reason" he thought Trump should pick Barrett to replace Kennedy is because "she's a woman." chicagotribune.com/opinion/commen…

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.

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.

**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!
