@CBSNews BREAKING: Gimpy Greg still an idiot

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.

As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.

I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism

When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking

Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.

If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions

Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.

Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.

Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.

@BostonDotCom #Selltheteam clearly John Henry has not other intention but to use the Red Sox and a cash generator

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

Have seen many commercials across multiple Disney-affiliated networks the past 24 hours advertising the Jokic vs. Embiid rematch today.

It's part of "Rivals Week", which the NBA began promoting over the Summer.

If the Sixers and Nuggets are "rivals", it's because of the two MVP candidates competing against each other -- not the franchises' history.

They stacked a triple-header on ABC for this.

The plug gets pulled on Game #2 at the last second.

Tickets, viewership, discourse, gambling partners/consumers, etc. will all be affected.

Nobody sane is going to blame a player for being injured and having to sit out, but think the league is past the point of needing to re-strategize how the product promotes regular season games around stars. Just so many damn letdowns. It feels like the batting percentage of their attendance running concurrently is at the mendoza line.

@tedcruz Let’s make a deal then… we won’t give a dime to sanctuary cities and we’ll let them keep the money you filter to red welfare states.

Going to be real tough to justify those low taxes and incompetent governance when you don’t have that liberal money flowing in
