Leno's interviews were so excruciatingly awkward and almost painful to watch.  Really, the worst I've ever seen in the business.

I guess his standup is funny?  I only ever saw him do the monologues which are sort of milquetoast and boring by design.

and this is why people despise out of touch celebrities.....dude makes $15 million a year, is worth $100 million and drives a $100,000+ Tesla Model S - "I'll pay $15 a gallon!"

Glenn is a contrarian and a shill out here begging for attention. Everyone is an out of touch elite except for the out of touch elites he stans for. And he’s a thin-skinned whiner to book.

(Also, taking a bland joke at face value because you get to act offended is more whiney shit. Like, it’s not a great joke, but it’s functionally meaningless unless you really want to have the butthurt feelings)

I view these folks as entertainers meant to garner ratings, with rarely anything to say worth hearing.  I put Carlson and Hannity and Maddow et al. in the same lump.

Entertainers.  Out for ratings.  It's akin to when I used to listen to "Game Day" and give any thought to their predictions, ha.  

I get more useful stuff here.

ok here is your news for today

Biden is being a dipshit for not doing what it takes to restore oil production to Trump levels or even higher

Either he doesnt care about the American people or hes too stupid to know better

Our oil production is back to 2018 levels, behind 2019, but should match 2019 by 2023, so it isn't a complete disaster.  Could it be better?  Sure.  Is it completely awful? 

Nope.

do you see the nose dive oil prod took with Biden taking office


that was caused by Biden undoing all of Trumps resolutions concerning Oil production


all he needs to do is restore these resolutions and production would be back up by years end


otherwise say hello to $7/gal gasoline which will cause prices across the board to go to record breaking levels

Looks to me like the impact of COVID was a lot more important than the impact of POTUS...

yeah, well that's like your opinion, man.  

I happen to think Glenn Greenwald is a principled investigative reporter who has broken more important, worthwhile, groundbreaking stories on his own over the last say 15 years or so than basically the entire mainstream/corporate news press combined.

And it was a completely lame, out of touch piss poor joke by a f**king hack that hasn't been funny in at least 7-8 years. Colbert just collecting his $16 million a year being an uninquisitive, incurious, unoriginal company man hack. That's what it was. And Glenn Greenwald was correct to call it as such. My opinion, of course. Winky smiley face.

impact of covid is valid point. it caused demand to crash.

Having said that.... the POTUS at the time was able to get Saudi Arabia and it's toy OPEC (kinda like NATO is our toy, OPEC is theirs) and Russia to agree to slash production and end an oil price war. Said POTUS was also able to get Saudi/OPEC to increase production in 2018 when he wanted price of oil to cool down. Biden has attempted this and been laughed out of the room by the Saudis. They won't even take his call.

It is beyond stupid to suggest the POTUS does not have sway over the price of oil. He does. An administration can start wars (which leads to uncertainty and price instability), restrict drilling permits or increase drilling permits, can ban oil leases and exploration for oil on federally leased lands, and then a Presidents ability- or in Biden's case I should say complete lack of ability- to play negotiator with the Saudis to get them to either ramp up or ramp down production- all of it has direct impact on price of oil.

Glenn Greenwald did not in any way give it the context it deserves, though...

Quote
Stephen Colbert -- who earns $15 million per year from CBS and has a net worth approaching $100 million -- says it's worth it to endure higher gas prices so that you have a "clean conscience."



It's presented by Greenwald that Colbert actually meant what he said, when it was just the set-up to a joke

I would completely understand Greenwald clutching at pearls if Colbert said that in an interview, or in literally ANY context where it was supposed to be taken seriously. But he was on stage, performing.

If we are supposed to think that everything a comedian says on stage is what they well and truly believe--well then the comedians that you love the most must be some pretty foul people. Should we also think that everything Eminem--who you appeared to like back in his heydey--was saying was something that conveyed his literal and true heartfelt beliefs in all of his raps? 

Or do we give just a LITTLE leeway to comedians and performers, when they're actually engaged in performance?
