    no I don't think either is acceptable. But, it's a fact that Biden admin worked to censor info on COVID on meta and x. yet, somehow we seem to have muddled through. I personally haven't seen the same level of direct interaction with the trump administration and the media that apparently dpic...

    Trump to impose new tariffs over forced labor claims

    well, I don't know about either of your thoughts, but there must be something in his thinking that we don't understand. Realistically, if you're attempting to hold down costs, on the surface, it makes no sense to increase costs on items which by definition - made by forced labor - would be...

    Trump appointees push $250 banknote with his portrait

    seems like a dumb argument for the administration to take on. Don't we have enough going on

    I Don't Agree With What the Guy Did....

    sounds like he should have looked for another job. I loved working for a fortune 100 company..

    Paul Krugman Has Some Thoughts

    I do think dpic is rational. I don't agree with a lot of his thinking and I believe he puts far too much belief/trust in things others post. But he lives his beliefs, and can/does carry on reasonable discussions on pertinent issues. I don't particularly like all the back and forth insults, but...

    bear, everything is yet to be seen about the Ellison venture and the media. But on the Washington post..have you read that paper recently? if they've been limited in their criticism of Trump and the administration, I haven't seen it.... All the critics seem to forget that while all these...

    sorry, just don't see all the negatives you do. CBS news will go on as will all the other news related media. They will continue to negatively report on trump and all will continue in the world

    Midterm Voters: Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?

    I think you misunderstood my statement on the 18% mortgage rate. The WSJ study, you might still be able to find it, compared boomers, generation z and millennials and financial while each of those generations were between the ages of 25-34. One of the comparisons was housing. And it compared...

    not trying to be a contrarian. I read all of your attachments and I didn't see anywhere where anyone said that Trump or the government is actively involved in media programming...calling the media fake news, suggesting 60 minutes to CNN - heck a couple of us, not even knowing about that comment...

    Midterm Voters: Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?

    not talking about trump approval....unemployment was down, real wages up, inflation down to lowest level in years, gas prices lowest in years.... class divides..not strictly a product of 1 1/2 years of trump cost of living...we all know, hopefully, that the cost of living acceleration due to...

    I don't understand where you have gotten the information that the government is actively involved in media programming. Now there was a time when the government was actively working to keep information/data out of social media, but I haven't seen any reports where this administration is...

    I'll start with the last question....absolutely, all the time. Every commander I ever served with invited opposing comments. It was part of the culture. In my experience, we had a concept of debate until a decision is made by the commander. But after the decicion is made execute as if it were...

    Scott Pelley out at CBS

    why not..he's out at CBS, someone else might like 60 minutes. You know, Pelley is putting a lot of emphasis on this idea of being censored or being forced to use date that is unverified...I accept his statements as he knows what he has been instructed better than I do. But, I was thinking...
