Singer Josephine Baker was the toast of Paris. She was a spy for the French Resistance during WWII & secured passports for Jewish citizens fleeing Nazi territory.

Her marriage to a Jewish businessman drew the attn. of Hermann Göring, who poisoned her. Members of the Fr. Resistance rescued her; she recovered.

She was awarded the Legion of Honor, Croix de Guerre & the Rosette of the Resistance. In 2021, she was inducted into Panthéon, France's hallowed tomb of heroes. #BlackFriday

It bears noting that the GOP tried this 18 years ago, too, and rather than grokking that running Alan Keyes against Barack Obama was fundamentally foolish, not to mention fundamentally insulting to Black voters—they actually went *harder* in 2022. https://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/08/senate.illinois.keyes/index.html

The fact that an election between Raphael Warnock, a smart and decent man, and Herschel Walker, a barely sentient pile of bricks with a frequent customer card at Abortions 'R Us, was close enough to go to a run-off, is a goddamn embarrassment.

CNN was legitimate news for decades. Then TFG called them "fake news" and right-wingers shunned them. So to appear "balanced" they started inviting liars on. Anchors were told not to correct the lies because then the liars wouldn't come on.

Now CNN invites liars on and lets them lie unchallenged, and leaves the lies uncorrected, all in an attempt to appease the party that depends on lying.

So now CNN is the literal definition of "fake news" and should be treated as such.

Lies are not news.

Publicly posting the names and identities of front-line employees involved in content moderation puts them in harm’s way and is a fundamentally unacceptable thing to do.
@Alan @conradhackett the left has barely shifted. The right looks like a ski jump.
@BlueWaterFan @conradhackett The left has always wanted the same thing: the most equality & equity for the most people.
