Americans who believe the system isn’t working are wrong; the system is working specifically as designed, it’s just not meant to benefit ordinary people.

NEWS: Fox News says it can claim a tax write-off for its defamation settlement with Dominion.
The deduction would lower the company’s tax rate, effectively forcing taxpayers to provide up to a $200 million subsidy to the company for its election lies. levernews.com/fox-can-claim-13

Quick thread, but please indulge me. In Aug 2021, my book “Across the River,” about a New Orleans high school football program in a city besieged by gun violence, published. Big piece. Smokehouse Pictures got film rights. & named it a best book of '21.

Notable: has fired only three people for its campaign of distortions/lies about the 2020 election that led to its $787 million settlement yesterday.
And those three told the truth about the election.

NEW COLUMN: Did a deep dive into where the NBA might go with its upcoming media rights through some respected analysts.
You like the idea of Monday Night Basketball on an over-the-air network?
Plenty of possibilities if the NBA prioritizes reach.

Interesting observation today from WWE CEO Nick Khan at #SBJWCOS:
Said they will continue to invest in finding college athletes who want a road post-college.
Cites Bianca Belair (ran track at Tennessee) + Roman Reigns (played football at Georgia Tech).
Smart.

Great job by the AMA re: Demar Hamlin with this.
For those willing to engage in reality-based information — still a majority I pray— this is helpful.

I'm a broken record on this, I know, but look what happens when you put women's college sport championship on free-to-air TV.
Smart people are going to make a lot of money on women's sports this decade.

Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been “cleared” to resume all activities, Buffalo GM Brandon Beane said Tuesday.
Beane added Hamlin is in a great headspace, is at the Bills' facility and is working out.

The big question is Warner Bros. Discovery (Turner Sports).
Who has the leverage? I think the NBA.
Would the NBA leave a longtime partner who has helped grow the game for a bigger check/s elsewhere? TBD

I want to see the super team/player empowerment era come to women's college basketball. It would be all kinds of fun.

Been thinking about Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith possibly being on the same team next season
It would be next level entertainment all over the court
Van Lith would have to pick a different jersey number tho. No way Reese is giving up No. 10

The CBC is an incredible news operation. It treats viewers like adults. Canadians should really know how fortunate they are to have it.
F-you, interloper.
Now with that that out of the way:
Trust me, I have seen and lived this movie before and I hope people realize what's up.
Quote Tweet
I never watched Lloyd Robertson, Knowlton Nash and Peter Mansbridge host The National and thought the CBC was "government-controlled", or should be "de-funded". Nor do I do so now with Adrienne Arsenault and Ian Hanomansing at the helm. Speak up if you agree.

Amy has been honest about this in interviews inc. with me a number of times.
It's courageous.
She's obviously attractive but not the point.
Her front-facing content on CBS Sports and elsewhere has been so good that I think (hope) it has helped migrate this for her a bit.
