Wait, ye old MSM @NBCNews is now censoring Joe and Mika? For real?

The prosecution rests.

The problem comes with news-gathering, as opposed to analysis. You need to do breaking news, reporters on scene, and you need video (although you can fair use what’s out there) - and that’s where expense comes in.

You also need to gain trust, and that may be hardest of all.

Support independent journalism when you can. There are a lot of very talented people doing excellent work out there.

I wish we could get them all in one place. Would make a great “paper.” An ActBlue for journalism? Is it possible?

Just a reminder for Kent County:

The DICK DEVOS TAX INCREASE is on the back of your ballot. Don’t forget to vote!

BTW, if the video in question is that important, I believe you could fair use an excerpt with credit and link back to original.

If you don’t think “brainwashed” is a loaded and biased term, George Romney would like a word.

I'm on my last legs with the Freep. I do not give a damn about what Mitch Albom thinks about anything, and I'm getting advice columns as headlines on the home page, and why am I paying for this? runs through my head quite a bit.

Money better spent on indie journos.

I’d be a harsh editor, but context is everything. If you’re running a piece on “social media reaction,” fine. But to present that comment as a piece of “journalism?” No. Not paying for that.

I’m like the Trump judge with the Freep, one more chance.

Would hazard a guess that Wenceel played more games as a Whitecap than any other. No bobble head or org attention for him though. Keith, Jung, and Jobe this year.

Hmmmm. Now why is that. 🤔

Twitter runs ahead of the “high seas” that runs ahead of Dickerson on Audacy. It’s three wins in a row. 😁

Sure would like some games that are blowouts, fellas. Can’t take this stress every day. Go 🐯!

Reuters the only one who worked “animals” into headline. The rest of you are normalizing rhetoric that echoes Hitler. How proud you must be.

Particularly disappointed in the @freep. Again. Last nerve. Considering canceling.

The word you’re looking for is “racist.”

You’re welcome.

Post something here and instant bot attack. 🤮

Why does everything have to suck?

Hey Tigers fans - don’t waste your money on the @MLB radio app. They are stepping all over the broadcast with commercials. You’ll never hear the score at inning break. Cut off the wrap-up show yesterday.

@Audacy is MUCH better and it’s free. 3 games in and I’m making the switch.

Funny how Sinclair’s @wwmtnews can’t wait to report Bad News for Biden every morning, but hasn’t mentioned Trump’s threat to cut Social Security. It lead at CBS. 🤔

Obvious who they “serve and protect,” and it certainly isn’t us.

If you have to pick a network, pick NBC. And this is coming from someone who used to hate NBC.

I don’t know if it’s removing The Toddler or what, but they’ve been much better than the others this time around.

“While his own party has been silent, at least officially…”

This. Is. The. GOP.

Instead, we’re in for another round of “let’s blame the voters” while political leadership and their corporate stenographers keep downplaying the threat.

I will be sad when they come for you.

The Freep changed the title on that piece, stepping away from the main point to the side show that is the detail about Lincoln.

Why?

There’s your answer.

When people show you who they are, believe them. Stop the fantasy that moderates will save you. Then we can talk.

No, @MLive, I will not be disabling DuckDuckGo. If you and others weren’t so obnoxious with the pop-ups, I wouldn’t have needed it in the first place. Also, your new font sucks.

Very sad about the death of print, but I’m really tired of all the hassle placed on the customer.

Bird app giving me grief to update or else, and no, I won’t be doing that.

SO, you can catch my inane ramblings in the friendly Blue Sky, where I mostly yell about whatever Sinclair is doing on any given day. Someone has to.

Keeping this active, but gone.

Happy New Year all!

Helluva holiday news dump day, Michigan. 😳

omg this wind is horrible. Stay inside if you can. 🥶

Oh noes! Taylor was visibly upset about a call in the 3rd quarter!

My gawd @CBSNews, just when I think you can’t possibly get any worse…

My carrier refuses to pick anything up. Delivered mail to wrong address, twice, left it out w/ note, he let it sit. Forget outgoing mail. Solicited food donation, and then wouldn’t take it. Wants my name on the box, which is not a requirement.

Just creepy. I’m done with them.

Remember how I used to advocate for @USPS? No more. World’s worst service this entire year.

FYI: if your printer dies on a click and ship, the PO will NOT print the label for you unless you have the QR code. The receipt they sent did not have it, of course.

UPS next time.

Little later it dawned on me digital would give them the ability to do surge pricing - bump everything a dime during peak hours. Be careful what you wish for.

It would have to be regulated so ha ha ha we’re just screwed.

*can

An obvious solution to this is digital shelf tags. Maybe Meijer and take this “extra” chump change (multiplied x265 stores) and invest?

This was not expired sales, just regular stuff.

The pandemic blew it all to hell when Meijer flexed out products to fill space. One guy said to me “those (shelf tags) don’t matter anymore” during that time.

Obviously still applies. Good luck consumers.

Not one, not two, but three separate items at @meijer scanned higher than the shelf tag today.

$1.00 - $1.15
$1.69 - $1.79
$10.19 - $10.49

So, big shout-out to those who chortled about eliminating item pricing. Most aren’t going to take the time to argue, and stores know that.

And as I said on the Sky site recently, “people willing to be polled” is a weird little subset now too. Would like to know how many attempts they have to make to even hit 600.

Anyhoo, chew it up. It’s “the holidays” now, and attention spans are elsewhere. Check back next year.
