DEAR GOOGLE NEWS:

For YEARS now my "homepage" on different browsers and various devices has been news.google.com

But I'm now in the market for a new news distributor. Your recent inclusion of yahoo!news and other craptastic sites (with an astonishing focus on FOX not-news!) has got me shopping!
[[ and what's with this totalBSsocialsecurityfakesite ??? ]]

For a long time I trusted news.google.com to sort and prioritize news for me. Well, I don't anymore. Seriously, just look at this s**t.

how many times can you mutter FFS while reading ONE news story?

The justices seem to think that the power they apparently just handed Donald Trump can’t be used against them someday. Right.

fu**in' media people. WHY ARE YOU BUYING THIS, why are you doing this just like in 2016 when you helped a dangerous moron take the White House? You know damn well this is lies. The day has been an annual thing since 2009. It hasn't changed. It's always March 31. Easter is not. Why are you not accusing the churches of changing the date of Easter to fall on transgender day? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

Have the media become just merchants of spin? "We have to monetize our content because I like to get paid" (as Bennett Hall with the Blue Mountain Eagle recently said to me). YOU ALL ARE SMART ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE THE DISHONESTY of Trump and his bunch yet you feed people this crap anyway. No wonder voters' trust in the media has slumped precipitously.

WORST HEADLINE OF 2024 so far.
stoooooooopid.

There aren’t many trees in Cheyenne. It’s hard to grow them. That’s what makes longtime Cheyenne resident Buck McVeigh so angry at the city for cutting down more than 160 cottonwoods and there’s more to come.

...
What a load of BS the current congress is.
IF YOU READ THE TRANSCRIPT, and especially if you read a few lines out loud, you'll see what I mean ....
[not in response to the year his son died] ...
"Oh, what year was that? Was that the year my son died?"

PEOPLE WHO ARE 40 YEARS OLD WITH 100% dandy memories say that in conversation! It DOES NOT MEAN THEY DON'T REMEMBER, they're just talking with their mouths while sorting out the timeline in their brains when they say it.
It's not a Literal Question About The Event. ..
The GOPs**ts have twisted that line to mean that "Joe Biden didn't recall the year his son died."..
That's just fu**ing evil.
I lost a son too. Go ahead and ask me what month and year that was. I might disremember and I'm not quite 70 yet. Nor am I qualified to run for President, nor do I have decades of federal government leadership experience...
THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
******** And even Fox-Not-News has noticed this!
..

The special counsel, Robert K. Hur, accused the president last month of “significant” memory problems. The interview transcript offers context to his report.

Famously known as the Red Tails, the first Black military pilots in the U.S. first flew over the skies of Tuskegee, Alabama when U.S. military officials selected the Tuskegee Institute to train pilots, in part because of its commitment to aeronautical training. Tuskegee in the early 1940s had the fa...

WHITE RURAL RAGE.
Indeed. It's a thing.

It's like the polar opposite of brown mellow mexican cool chill. Paul Krugman, whose columns I always enjoy (or at least respect), takes a look at “White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy,” a new book by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman. https://shorturl.at/fjsU7

He points out that U.S. farms now produce more than 5 times as much as they did 75 years ago -- yet the agricultural workforce has shrunk by two-thirds over that same time -- in large part because of machinery, improved seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides.

I grew up on a farm in northwest Illinois. I learned how to drive when I was 10 and I was schooled on tractors before I was taught to drive my dad's pickup truck ... first the little Ford tractor (the one that flipped over in the snow on Christmas Eve 1975 and killed my little brother Matt) and then the bigger Minneapolis Moline tractors we used for plowing and disking and other field work. One of the farming families I would babysit for was a longtime local farmer, a guy who was named farmer of the year.

As Krugman clearly points out, many white rural voters now back the politicians who tell them the lies they want to hear. It's not a justification, but it does explain why the MAGA fiction portrays to the Trumpyvoters the (actually relatively safe) metro areas such as New York as "crime-ridden hellscapes" -- and politicians and the media spoon-feed GOP voters the bulls**t about how Mexico is crime-ridden and dangerous (which it's comparatively NOT!) and they leave rural America portrayed as the VICTIM here -- of illegal immigrants, wokeness, crazy libtards, "radical" all of which are more or less imaginary.

BUT IT WORKS FOR THEM, works for the politicians who are soliciting voters and donors, and works for the lazy portion of the media who haven't got the time or IQ or education or ethics to dig in and tell us.

Just watch what happens next with the GOP after Ronna bails.

Yeah, we should accept your million-dollar typo because there are several more in your letter. FAIL.

Both sides of the dispute saw a typo, but they couldn’t agree on what it was. A missing comma? Or an extra 1? So a federal judge decided.
