Cliff Schechter explains why the "heroic" young woman who repeatedly clowns behind the über-clown Peter Navarro when he appears on camera is performing a valuable service by using her free speech to point out exactly who Navarro is, as the media invite Jan. 6 coup plotters onto their shows and normalize them.

I'm considering adding models for storing street addresses, and I'm curious what the most efficient way to store them is? Should there be separate City, State, Country models, or just one StreetAddress model with city, state, country columns that repeat? I'd like to balance both query performance and storage space efficiency if possible.

(Disclaimer: not every trans person is a pedophile.)

"It’s bad enough they falsely equate hostages and hostage-takers.

What’s even worse is the calm and measured coverage of the ongoing assault on the personhood of a significant portion of the American population.

After decades of progress, there is now an all-out war on queerness. Where, any normal person must ask, is the outrage?"

Dan Froomkin looks at how a Washington Post article handles the story of "emboldened shoppers" bullying Target employees to stop selling LGBTQ-themed items and concludes that journalists should be very ashamed at what they're doing.

He writes,

"It’s bad enough that our elite newsrooms normalize book banning, teacher gagging, history erasing and other clear signs of incipient fascism."

"It's pretty remarkable that a former president of the united states and likely Republican candidate in 2024 has multiple well-attested sexual assault claims against him and the media largely treats it as a page 6 story."

Steven Beschloss's headline frames the story of CNN giving Trump a bully pulpit just right:

"Free Media for a Criminal Defendant"

He writes,

"We must demand that the major media organizations acknowledge their outsized role in promoting Donald Trump before, and their obligation to be more circumspect in how and when to amplify him now."

Donald Trump has already won half the battle, if not more. By inviting him onto their “town hall” stage on May 10, CNN is treating him like an ordinary presidential candidate rather than like an insurrectionist and serial law-breaker.

By filling the audience with fans, they are artificially maintaining his bubble of adoration.

The CNN townhall “will fall into the same category as so much of the pre-2016 coverage: providing a forum for salesman Trump to misinform and mislead viewers to make himself as palatable as possible. In other words, it will not inform CNN’s audience. Quite the opposite. ...

Trump can easily throw out more nonsense than CNN has time to fact-check, even if it intended to.

Oliver Willis has for quite some time now insisted that the mainstream media pander to Trump because he's their cash cow.To prove this point again, he looks at the curious case of Trump assaulting reporter Vaughn Hillyard over a month ago, with media witnessing the assault — but withholding a report of it from the public until several days back.

Would they have treated Biden or Hillary this way? He thinks not.

"Only this time, Trump isn’t just coming with the baggage of decades of shady financial dealings, suspicions of sexual misconduct, and even calling for the hanging of the Central Park Five. He’s coming with every despicable act America, and the world, has witnessed since CNN helped manufacture tolerance for him eight years ago."

The former president has been impeached twice, criminally indicted, and is under investigation for rape. Now he gets to be on prime time. …

CNN is doing exactly what prompted so much reflection in the first place: giving open air to a man who warrants none of it."

Bottom line: Greene was allowed to plant a toxic lie that is dangerous propaganda in the public mind, while she went substantially unchallenged.

This was Greene's goal.

The media appear to have learned NOTHING at all from years of permitting Trump to use them in the very same way.

And in the case of what Greene said, actual human lives, vulnerable ones, are at stake as her lies about pedophiles, groomers, trans folks are planted.
