@#12 ... Interesting take. ...

Yeah, that is an interesting take to get from this thread.

But is it correct?

What's yer current alias got to justify it?

@#25 ... Bezos is a multibillionaire who is still too grotesque to be seen in public. ...

I'm not there yet.

He is a multi-billionaire. I'm on board with that aspect.

But he seems to want to affect public opinion without standing up and defending his reasons. And, yes, I did read his, imo, lame attempt to justify what he has done to the WaPo editorial board.

Shameful.

@#3 ... Basically how to make dinner from grandpa's old army boot. ...

I'm not yet convinced that would be the description I would ascribe to the result of this recipe.

But yeah, the sauerbraten is quite tasty.

@#81 ... And now it has been clarified for you. ..

It hasn't.

For starters, in #76 I noted the plural of members. Your current alias still has not clarified that.

So, at this point, my view is that your current alias is a troll, possibly paid on a per-reply basis.

Not something new in the online world.

Have fun.

@#79 ... think it was quite clear. ...

It wasn't.

Which is why I asked for clarification.

Which your current alias did not seem to provide.

So, ya got nothing?

@#16 ... In this case, their boss did not want his paper presenting a political opinion. There is nothing wrong with that. I like it. ...

Or is it that the billionaire owner did not want his paper to present an opinion in the opinion section that he did not agree with?

Taking a step back, this is not about the news reporting, this is about the opinion section.

Why should not the editors, who are intimately exposed to the news each day, be allowed to express their opinions in the section of the newspaper that is set aside for such opinions?

I mean, what is the fear here?

That people will not be able to understand the difference between the OpEd section and the news section?

Is that the fear here?

An OpEd in the opinion section that does not adulate fmr Pres Trump?

@#77 ... Be honest. ...

I'll be honest.

What "instance" is your current alias referring to?

Please be quite specific with such a request. A message number would be helpful.

thx.

@#9 ... We need one for television. ...

Yeah.

Video streaming seems to be particularly bad in that aspect.

@75 ... What else do you want? I gave you the exact link you requested. Yes, this Democrat elected member of Congress is so damn dumb that he actually thought an island could capsize. This is not in dispute. ...

What else do I want?

A substantiation of your current alias' comment in #69 ...

... Only according to Democrat elected members of Congress. ...

I note the plural "members" in the comment.

So far, your current alias has only provided one Democrat member who has made that assertion.

What other Democratic members of Congress have made that assertion?

thx.

@#10 ... How does the government go about bringing it all "in-house"? ...

Yeah, that is a significant concern that Americans should now be worried about.

A person who seems to routinely talk with the dictator of an adversarial country gets significant from the US government. Some (much, most?) of that money comes from the US Defense Department.

So, how does your current alias propose that problem is solved?

@#14 ... Handwringers getting pissy because a newspaper is directed to be apolitical. ...

While the reporting of a newspaper should be directed to be apolitical. I agree with that view 100%

That aside ... what say ye about the editorial opinion content of the newspaper?

What is the issue with the opinion part of the newspaper expressing opinions?

@#72 ... Where did you run off to dim-bulb ...

Sauerbraten
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2005

Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, additional for seasoning meat
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
6 whole cloves
12 juniper berries
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) bottom round
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
18 dark old-fashioned gingersnaps (about 5 ounces), crushed
1/2 cup seedless raisins, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan over high heat combine the water, cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, bay leaves, cloves, juniper, and mustard seeds. Cover and bring this to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Pat the bottom round dry and rub with vegetable oil and salt on all sides. Heat a large saute pan over high heat; add the meat and
brown on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.

When the marinade has cooled to a point where you can stick your finger in it and not be burned, place the meat in a non-reactive vessel and pour over the marinade. Place into the refrigerator for 3 days. If the meat is not completely submerged in the liquid, turn it over once a day.

After 3 days of marinating, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Add the sugar to the meat and marinade, cover and place on the middle rack of the oven and cook until tender, approximately 4 hours.

Remove the meat from the vessel and keep warm. Strain the liquid to remove the solids. Return the liquid to the pan and place over
medium-high heat.

Whisk in the gingersnaps and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve
to remove any lumps.

Add the raisins if desired.

Slice the meat and serve with the sauce.

@#1 ... "The journalist called me and asked if it was that person. I confirmed it was that person," Morrison told the committee.
...

Those pesky journalists, always trying to confirm what they hear.

More from the article...

... Morrison told MPs at the national security committee Tuesday that he was the one who confirmed Shah's name to that newspaper.

"The journalist called me and asked if it was that person. I confirmed it was that person," Morrison told the committee.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said a year ago that Canada had credible evidence agents of the Indian government were involved in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June 2023.

On Oct. 14, Canada expelled the Indian high commissioner and five other diplomats, alleging they were persons of interest in multiple cases of coercion, intimidation and violence aimed at quieting a campaign for an independent Sikh state known as Khalistan. ...

So... praising eligible voters voting.

That's a good thing.

More from the article...

... "I am proud to share that voters around Connecticut report a smooth roll-out for the first ever early voting period for a general election," Thomas said in a statement Monday.

"60% of voters wanted early voting.

They got it.

And it's been inspiring to see how well received and utilized it's been." ...

@#25 ... Actually, I don't see that occurring. The only ones I see even talking about it are the Kamala dead-enders ...

Maybe, look harder?

@#19 ... Because in your Democrat paradise (which California is the logical end state), the problem only gets worse, not better. You can apply this to any sort of cost I pay now that I am already supposed to be receiving - such as the private security for my community despite paying for police already in my taxes. ...

Wow.

... the private security for my community ..

Complaining about the cost of private security for your community?

Oh dear, how will you ever survive?

@#7 ... "European politics has its handbook, it is worth knowing: when liberal parties win, there is democracy, when conservatives win, there is not," Orban told a joint news conference in the capital, Tbilisi.

"Because the conservatives won, there will be debates, and they are not to be taken seriously." ...

Wow.

@#7 ... OMG, Lamp, it just struck me tonight how meticulously over a period of years the Republican party has been planning their Orban style take over of the country. ...

Yup.

To get an idea of what fmr Pres Trump would want to do, just look at those dictators he seems to admire.

OK, so the Florida Natural Orange Juice i prefer to buy is now going to be more expensive?

Even more expensive than their going from a 64 ounce carton to a 48 ounce carton for the same price?

Way to go Florida, apparently trying to hide the price increase.
