This is a huge story, and needs far more love and attention.

Sure, it’s from Gawker, but I can’t think of many others who could provide commentary on mass media appeal like them.

Basically, Fox News traces its’ roots back to 1970 - during the Nixon White house. Ailes worked on a project to do everything from bring dissenting political candidates into interviews where they would be effectively ambushed by questions, to making sure the president’s ties weren’t shiny, to how the president should choose a youngster to light the tree with him one Christmas.

Read this thing folks. It’s well worth it.

This is absolutely, without question, some of the most deplorable behavior I’ve seen in light of recent events.

I wonder how many of those protesters really understand what their group is advocating.

Oh, but the Tea Party isn’t racist. That’s right.

Domain name seizures by ICE are nothing new - it’s an issue that’s been going on for a while and that some folks have been working hard to bring light to. But a lot of folks only started to care after they came for poker sites. Honestly? I think this says a lot about where we are as a nation.

Bill O’Reilly actually defending Obama?

I may not like the dude, but I’ll have to admit that this is pretty noble of him. Though I wonder how much of this is motivated by the GOPs probably distaste of Trump right now. The timeliness is suspect to me.

Otherwise? Right on.

Thoughts?

This apology from ex-Florida Gov. Charlie Crist to David Byrne for copyright infringement needs to be auto-tuned.

You know what this apology needs? A Talking Heads soundtrack.
