I spend much of the day reading financial news, in large part because I think it is more realistic and less partisan than the "news news".  Investors can't afford some partisan take (much) when their money is at risk.  This was from June.

For fun, I'll look at CNBC and then briefly look at MSNBC, same "network", entirely different focus.  MSNBC.com is, to me, comical,  really more akin to some hard right wing "news" sites, more than Fox News.  CNBC is more focused on stuff that matters to investors.  I scan several of them to try and catch up on what may be important.

MSNBC has almost nothing without Trump in the public eye.

yeah this all day.

Not buying that Greta Thurnberg was a Russian agent. Is Al Gore one too?

The climate change whack jobs in Europe didn't need any help from Russia for them to shut down nuclear power plants, fracking, move towards natural gas (which is relatively clean compared to all the other fossil fuels). They were gunning for it already- and Europeans are way more hardline on things like that than even Americans- and we have our problems here with those people ourselves.

Wasn't a former Chancellor (their President/PM) appointed head of that NordStream2 pipeline? Uh why yes, I think he was. He a Russian agent too?
Of course. He created the internet, and is now a supreme hacker.

The issue is that the tweet is now deleted.

Someone reminded her that Ukraine is not a member of NATO, and told her to take the tweet down.

This says they added "and" to the tweet.  What she actually said doesn't have the "and" in it, which is problematic of course.

Badge. You’re a smart man. There’s almost very little chance that she herself wrote that tweet. These things are, most of the time, carefully curated outlets, unless you’re just out there to vent feelings or something.

I’m sure the tweet was deleted, as it was unclear and caught a raft of shit, and some pols lack the stomach to be like “I stand by my arguably wrong stuff.” And one can argue if that’s a great weakness or just sort of meh. (Not to defend the lady as to say this particular thing is offended for offended’s sake content milling and not much else)

I have read in a couple places on this board that the media is pretty untrustworthy, so we can add that particular outlet to the untrustworthy list.

Biden has a medical excuse for being a cluttered mutt .I don't believe for one second Kamela showed her work during the BAR EXAM some how she either worked it off and got a waiver or after 3 tries they gave her  True/False Test.No BAB after listening to her unrehersed rants she owns that there is no doubt,she has that trail of bread crumbs

It's on several outlets. Pick one, I guess?
