  1. Well yeah I guess chainsawing off a whale's head isn't exactly douchy but it's damn sure weird.
  2. How about she circumvents all of them and goes on with someone like Roland Martin (yes, I know he's aggy) because they are already pissed off at her for giving better access at the convention to "creators" and relegating the Politicos of the world to the cheap seats? Oh yeah that's the stuff.
  3. Y'all don't get it. Give them access or they will be mean to you. As Sulzberger often tells colleagues and as he and (Times’ Executive Editor Joe) Kahn have stressed in private conversations with the administration, every modern president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has done an interview with the Times. That, however, is an argument deemed uncompelling by Biden aides and one that, to some White House officials, smacks of entitlement. ... https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/04/insider-reveals-why-new-york-times-is-savaging-biden-as-often-as-possible.html And now Kamala is pissing them off even MORE because she won't play their game game either.
  4. https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/attytood/media-elections-dnc-kamala-harris-military-20240827.html This column, about the decline and fall of America’s political news media in such a pivotal election year, has proved very hard to write — not for a lack of material, but because I can’t keep pace with every day’s new and stunning examples of bad journalism, each one spiraling a tad lower. ___ The Chicago-based media critic Mark Jacob, a retired veteran editor of that city’s Tribune and Sun Times, nailed it Monday with a piece headlined “Mainstream media on a path to irrelevance.” Jacob has harsh words for how reporters have covered the race, writing that “too many political journalists are marinating in the Washington cocktail culture, writing for each other and for their sources — in service to the political industry, not the public.” But he also notes that traditional media can’t figure out how to compete for young eyeballs against sites like edgy and fast-paced TikTok. Jacob pointed out that public faith in mass media has plunged from 72% in 1976, after Watergate, to just 32% today. You know who gets the new landscape better than anyone else? Kamala Harris.
  5. Two-bit hustler? I'll have you know it's a four bit minimum buy
  6. Funding Democracy Docket Legal Fund was financed by numerous left-of-center grantmaking foundations through the Hopewell Fund in 2020. The Sandler Foundation, after committing to donate $200 million to “racial justice groups” after the police-custody death of George Floyd, 4 gave $1.5 million. 5 The Sherwood Foundation, the charitable grantmaking foundation of Susan A. Buffet, gave $500,000. 6 The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation gave $800,000, by far its largest donation to the Hopewell Fund. 7 The Omidyar Network, the grantmaking foundation of eBay-founder Pierre Omidyar, gave $1.5 million. 8 In April 2021, Bad Robot, the film production company run by J.J. Abrams, along with the Katie McGrath and J.J. Abrams Foundation, donated $1 million to DDLF. 9 10 https://www.influencewatch.org/organization/democracy-docket-legal-fund-ddlf/ And from the opposition Arabella-managed funds act as a conduit for deep-pocketed liberal donors to stealthily bankroll numerous left-wing groups. It manages three separate funds in addition to Hopewell: the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the New Venture Fund and the Windward Fund. Wealthy Democratic donors use these funds to pour cash into dozens of initiatives that fall under Arabella's umbrella. According to the network's most recent tax forms, the four funds combined to haul in $715 million in cash from secret donors in 2019 alone. The group also pushes money to outside organizations that do not fall under its auspices. ____ "Marc Elias just launched his new firm, but what has not been reported is the funding source for his lawsuits," Americans for Public Trust Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News. "Mr. Elias frequently raises money for the Democracy Docket Action Fund, but what he isn't telling his loyal followers is the fund is a project of the Arabella-connected North Fund." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dark-money-network-gives-dem-lawyer-nearly-unlimited-funding-for-voting-rights-lawsuits-watchdog-says
