listener, you asked at the end of the last thread about why you couldn't find any corroboration of the report on Aileen Cannon. By the time you posted, I was beginning to wonder the same thing. The story would have been picked up by now if it was accurate. Ouch. I thought the source was reliable. Evidently not. No way. 8-( nordy.
ReplyDeleteI looked with the same result. I think the Google AI search algorithm is quick to serve us stories they think we will like.

Alan, hasn't Gantz threatened to do this for some time? And the purpose of new elections would be to get rid of Netanyahu? --nordy
DeleteI don't know, nordy; but I remember the advice of a union field rep on contract negotiations: "Never threaten.' If you threaten, you cede control to the other side, who just might call your bluff. If you are going to do something, DO IT.

I had just about decided to vote for Biden when Gaza matters went south. My vote means nothing--- California will vote for whomever the national Dems nominate; but that gives me freedom to cast a protest vote, which I am again considering.

P.S.: We live in a gerrymandered Republican constituency, largely IMO thanks to the California Democratic Party. Despite this nominally being a "Republican" area, the largest crowds ever seen here were for Bernie Sanders; second place went to Bill Clinton. But for most Democratic presidents and contenders these days we are at most flyover territory.

This one is close to my heart. I spent my career in newspaper journalism and am heartbroken by the decline of the daily newspaper.

California and the country are facing a crisis of news deserts, places where local newspapers no longer exist. But there is an important action that can be taken to help save the news: States like California (and ideally also Congress) can and should enact laws requiring tech platforms that link news stories to pay the newspapers that produce them.
A recent study by the Medill School of Journalism found that since 2005, the country has lost more than one-fourth of its newspapers and is on track to lose a third by 2025. Between late 2019 and May 2022, more than 360 newspapers closed.
The report concluded that “most of the communities that have lost newspapers do not get a print or digital replacement, leaving 70 million residents — or a fifth of the country’s population — either living in an area with no local news organizations, or one at risk, with only one local news outlet and very limited access to critical news and information that can inform their everyday decisions and sustain grassroots democracy.”
Many factors have contributed to this crisis in the news media. An important problem that can be fixed legislatively is how large social media platforms like Google, Facebook and Instagram link to news stories and therein gain advertising revenue, but none of the money goes to the news organizations that did the actual reporting. Tech platforms are swallowing profits that would otherwise go to the newspapers that are covering the news, doing the investigations and writing the stories. --nordy
Quite so; certainly this area (in California) has turned into a news desert.

Note: I was told by a Scots emigrant that in the early 20th Century people in Scots cities were still emptying their chamber pots from their windows into the streets. If you heard someone shout “GARLYLOO!” you were well advised to duck into a doorway. “Garlyloo” = guardez le eau—“beware the water.” Another note: rather than wells, many people in Medieval and early modern times got their water from rivers; that was women’s work, women mostly wore heavy woolen clothing, and when it got wet while they were getting water from the rivers or streams it was so heavy that they slipped and drowned. A considerable majority of drownings were of women. So I have been advised and reasonably believe.

TRUMP’S JURY HAS
REACHED A VERDICT!!!
To be read shortly.
{listener}
DeleteGUILTY ON 34 COUNTS!
GUILTY ON *ALL* 34 *FELONY* COUNTS!
DeleteAnd the Jury's verdict was UNANIMOUS!
HOLY COW! I am astounded that they could reach a verdict so quickly; excuse me, but it seems so incredible that I must verify it. The verdict in a civilian criminal trial must be unanimous in any event; but they must not have had to twist any arms or beat any brows.

Sunnavagun; it's true! Sentencing was set for July 11, just days before the Republican convention. I wonder how many of those days will he be in the slammer for gag order violations.

And it took less than two days! I wonder how many hours--- we should hear that before long.

I'll have to go back and check the indictment, but if memory serves all thirty-four counts were identical in substance, differing only in whether they applied to a check or to an invoice
Delete...and I think there was one other type of record. So, that must have helped speed the determination. Somewhere I heard the D.A. gave the jury a handy dandy graph matching up each count with the corresponding law it broke. So, all in all, it wasn't as confusing as it might have been. Still in all, they did a remarkable job.

I found it a little gratifying to learn that the verdict came just after the folks in the court had just heard that the day was over without a verdict, then "wait, there's a verdict." Then they had to wait 30 minutes while the jury got it all written down.
ReplyDeleteIt also does my heart good to know that DT cannot pardon himself from these felonies because it's at the state level.
That's a great little tidbit, listener! Thanks.
