It's a war of the worlds at CBS News.

Ten people familiar with the workings of CBS News say the Paramount Skydance unit is veering toward dysfunction, with a management team led by Bari Weiss that doesn't value the standards held by veteran journalists - and a staff that views its editor-in-chief and her hand-picked senior staff with great skepticism, owing to her lack of experience managing mainstream media assets.

I've been watching analyses by Mr Global who is apparently an oil and gas expert with multiple oil and gas companies started and sold under his belt.

It's been eye opening just how little press the fumbles, f*&^ ups and stupidity of Trump during his first and current administration have gotten.

It basically sounds like incompetence and idiocy on just about any facet you can name for oil and gas. Selling LNG to Europe while we require increasingly higher production rates here to keep power generation sufficient for demand, killing alternative energy projects to further spike LNG demand, Trump screwing up policy with OPEC leading to the intentional multi-year suppression of oil prices by OPEC to kill the US oil and gas industry, the fact that Biden's sales of oil from the SPR were already approved under Trump and Biden simply took multiple sales and combined them into one single release...but the press let the GOP's narrative on all of those run amok unchallenged.

And those are just the points I can remember off the top of my head. Forget about why Venezuela isn't going to be the boon Trump says it will be and how that massively undercuts Trump's justifications for it.
