Seems ironic that #JimmyCarter , who famously was against the pomp and pageantry of the presidency, should have had a hand in planning a funeral fit for a king.

There’s a major fire raging in LA hills and #CNN and #MSNBC are focused on the latest trivial utterances of #DonaldTrump . Small wonder that cable news has become irrelevant.

I wish I had a dollar for every company that now bills itself as “AI-powered.” Even blacksmiths will start saying that they are AI-powered. #artificalintelligence #AI

$787 million: that is the price that #Fox is willing to pay #dominion to spare itself the embarrassment of a trial that would have exposed the way the “fair and balanced” sausage is made. Moral of the story: you can defame and settle and it’s just the cost of doing business.

So #twitter feels that partiagovt funding has compromised independence of #npr but yet #cnn #msnbc #fox and many other news organs aren’t compromised by all the corporate ad dollars they take? Think about Fox’s many gold ads the next time #Tucker warns of coming dollar collapse.

@mikiebarb @mikiebarb : you’re avoiding a key failing of today’s New York Times: a declining focus on the greater New York area. Why not reduce your vast army of reporters covering every Trump angle a wee bit and devote a few writers to local congressional races?

To everyone asking why reporters didn't dig up the George Santos story before the election ... a fair question .... ask yourself when you last paid for your local newspaper, like Newsday on Long Island, which covers it day in and out.

nypost.com/2022/10/01/tif… This kind of “she said she said” journalism serves little purpose except to generate a quick story for the NYPost. If Post is going to write about whether there is more or less violence on the #subway, why not cite some actual data on the topic?

I keep reading that #elonmusk is interested in a #Twitter that is less restrictive of controversial speech. Yet I also read that he wants to move toward subscriptions. Does that mean he believes in free speech — for those that can afford it?

On a day when #Bitcoin was up 1.1 percent, the Proshares ETF that is a proxy for it (BITO) lost 1,2 percent. #trackingerror

@brianstelter Brian, Hopefully your new leader will return #CNN to its rightful piece as the network that Ted Turner envisioned, one that covers many stories, not than a relentless barrage of Trump-focused coverage.

At the end of today's program I attempted to channel my CNN colleagues as I said: We lost our leader this week, but we're not going anywhere.

@brianstelter @brianstelter now that Zucker is out, what would you think about a new #cnn president that returns the network to its news gathering roots and away from being all-politics-all-the-time and the Big Lie. CNN has morphed ito a pale imitation of #fox and #msnbc

Jeff Zucker just announced his resignation to a stunned CNN.

So it takes a romantic relationship with a colleague to force Jeff Zucker out of #CNN? He should have been canned years ago for taking a great news organization and turning it into an all-politics, ideologically- driven pale imitation of #msnbc and #fox.

Caesar’s Sportsbook had one chance to capture all of New York degenerates forever and blew it. #CaesarsSportsbook this app is a dumpster fire

#caesarssportsbook should get out of the online gaming biz until it can respond to its customers in a timely manner. The NY state attorney general should open an investigation.

@CaesarsSports i don’t think caesars should be in the online gaming business until they get their customer service act together.. They don’t have live chat and don’t respond to email. And forget about phoning for help.

@jackhough That takes talent.

some personal news: I bit my tongue while sneezing

#CNN has not let up with its obsessive coverage of #DonaldJTrump, ignoring many other important stories in the process, even tough he is no longer prez. When Trump dies someday, they will probably assign a reporter to his tomb in the hope of a resurrection.

How are we going to live without Don Lemon’s nightly self-important stream-of-consciousness diatribes masquerading as news? #cnn #donlemon amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/05/15…

Had an annoying experience dealing with a #Verizon “digital assistant.” Companies are cutting back on live phone support. But these digital assistants are real humans too who are taking up time. Why not allow then to talk?

#coinbase would be even more successful if they didn’t make it so difficult to open an account. And good luck getting online help.
