Whereupon We Pontificate About Poor Media Outlet Choices

Schefter is basically a mindless NFL mouthpiece. Unsurprising to see this.

It’s like expecting Brett Okamoto to ask tough questions to Dana White. He won’t. He’s emasculated.

My buddy in the business says Schefter’s reputation in the business is scummy for exactly that type of tweet. He’ll carry water for just about anyone if it transactionally makes sense.

A producer might have finally realized there might have been a few million German speaking Jews who wouldn’t agree with the sentiment if they hadn’t been exterminated.

He’s the director of Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and the Peter and Helen Bing Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, duh.

I was pretty sure he was going to hang his hat on the “ethnic Germans”.

Feel like people are arguing a bunch of semantics here. What was not communicated perfectly was that Hitler had a vision of who he was working on behalf of and his actions were in line with that while Putin claims to have a vision of Russians and Ukrainians as one people but does not appear to be treating his supposed brethren the way his rhetoric suggests he should.

If you are going to ding this guy for his words, it should be for saying that Putin is kind of worse than Hitler in one regard. His intended meaning seems clear and might actually be something that can be interpreted as reasonable to believe.

CNBC’s corporate propaganda is so blatantly obvious it’s funny.

I’ve had it happen on the east coast and in Las Vegas at Wal Mart.

It’s standard at Best Buy.
