They have millions of happy customers, wait, they don't appear very happy, I guess they sell misery sprinkled in with bullshit.

Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, what they don't mention is the freedom to be an unhappy racist asshole and a loser!

stupid, easily influenced, and unwilling to think on his own. he flatly refuses to provide proof of anything he posts, most of the time because he knows there is no proof to back up the idiocy he tries to pass off as facts.
he has no fucking idea how the economy works, how global politics work, how fucking anything works, anywhere...but he still has a fuck ton of opinions to share, ignorant, stupid, ill informed, asinine opinions...
quit feeding the fucker. i'm responding to Unclebaldrick, not to fatboy stupid, who has been on ignore for days now

I could go through your post, parse out the lies and pull up factual information to dispute them. But each and every one of the fake bs in your post has already been shredded and there are many of them in your post. So to save time, I'll discuss the factual bit that's in your post:

In a major declaration of Justice Department policy on Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Attorney General Merrick Garland has issued a rule prohibiting federal investigators from seizing reporters communications, or from compelling them to turn over their notes or testify, as part of investigations into internal leaks.

"The rules institutionalize — and in places expand — a temporary policy that Attorney General Merrick B. Garland put in place in July 2021, after the revelation that the Justice Department, under Attorney General William P. Barr, had secretly pursued email records of reporters at The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN," reported Charlie Savage. "The broad prohibitions are a major change in how the Justice Department has come to approach leak investigations in the 21st century, when it began a crackdown that spans administrations of both parties and has put pressure on reporting on matters of national security."

“Because freedom of the press requires that members of the news media have the freedom to investigate and report the news, the new regulations are intended to provide enhanced protection to members of the news media from certain law enforcement tools and actions that might unreasonably impair news gathering,” said Garland in his announcement of the new policy.

Last year, a report by The Times detailed the efforts to seize reporters' emails in leak investigations, which began just before Barr left office.

"The Dec. 22 request, one of Mr. Barr’s last acts in office, was part of a major escalation by the Trump administration during its final weeks in power of a yearslong campaign to crack down on leaks of classified information to the news media. The Trump Justice Department also sought New York Times reporters’ records in that period," reported Katie Benner and Charlie Savage. "The Biden Justice Department had disclosed the effort — which also included seizing the reporters’ phone records — last month, leading to the unsealing of the Post docket."

Barr, a believer in so-called "unitary executive theory," or the idea that the president's powers are effectively unchecked by the other branches, was highly controversial for his efforts to use the DOJ to target former President Donald Trump's political enemies and interfere in cases the former president disagreed with.

CNN is now "Clearly Not News". A Dangerous Disgrace.

The attached screenshot is the home page of a media entity that purports to be a News Organization from Sunday Nov 6 at 9PM We are at a disgraceful time in our nation's media history. Here is the second paragraph of this entry at CNN marked as...

that is sad...any time a trusted news source goes sour, that's a loss of resources, one less place you can use to make sure stories jibe with each other...and it's an indication that the owners of that site are either more interested in money than the truth, or that they actually support the agenda of the fascist party, although it's usually both, being more interested in money than the truth is a long time republican trait.

It really sucks that the right wing propagandists are amplifying the homophobia and validating hate to the point that it becomes impossible for people to be able to talk about this topic without it becoming socially divisive, and then easily used to further the political divide.

It does make me wonder though, how many high school/college sports rules for athletes are pushed by right wing organizations. I would be surprised if this is not the first since title IX back in the 70's.
