Watch it a couple times, some brilliant innuendo in this.

that Fox/Trump thing will be interesting to watch going forward. Of course he's so petty about Fox calling AZ early that he wants to take them down now. At this point I'd be shocked if he didn't start his own news channel.

I'm more worried about who could follow Trump if things break a certain way. A 'leader' with more competence but Fascist/Theocratic leanings would be bad
You mean the guy that decided to go on a vacation during the July Crisis only to come back and find the world on the brink of war?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Local news station says they have discovered evidence that "independent" candidates were planted in Florida senate district races to siphon votes away from Democratic candidates.

This could be apropos of nothing but...Biden has a strong opinion on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act:

It is propagating falsehoods they know to be false, and we should be setting standards not unlike the Europeans are doing relative to privacy. You guys (referencing the New York Times editor conducting the interview) still have editors. I’m sitting with them. Not a joke. There is no editorial impact at all on Facebook. None. None whatsoever. It’s irresponsible. It’s totally irresponsible.

Good. At least Twitter is being somewhat proactive. Facebook needs a giant kick in the ass.

Section 230 is a complicated issue, but I don't see it as apropos of anything, as it relates to a Trump news channel.

Trump is systematically firing people in important positions and basically pouring cement down the drain. He's throwing a presidential tantrum and this could really destabilize the US.

Also this is legitimately a massive issue. There are any number of reasons they could be doing this (manufacture election interference, putin's whims, spite, to make Biden's 1st term disastrous etc.) but it's a huge issue if the US leaves itself open to cyberattack.

As someone who relies on and works with DHS daily, especially for cyber security information, this is ####ed up. This isn't pouring concrete down the drains, this is flushing a grenade down the toilet.
