(via Rep. Chip Roy's Question For Republican Colleagues Backfires | HuffPost Latest News)

MAGA Republicans and the Sedition Caucus (aka Freedom Caucus and former tea baggers) unintentionally reveal their lack of focus on legislation or any other activities their constituents expect from a representative government.  

Their agenda is to follow Trump’s orders without question in his pathetic attempts to distract from his fraudulent business activities, criminal conduct and the fact that he’s a fake billionaire.

It appears that Fox News viewers aren’t only the “victims” of Fox News’ right-wing propaganda; they’re also the “drivers” of Fox News’ right-wing propaganda. 

Fox News Channel is airing the Jan. 6 committee hearings when they occur in daytime hours and a striking number of the network’s viewers have made clear they’d rather be doing something else.

During two daytime hearings last week, Fox averaged 727,000 viewers, the Nielsen company said. That compares to the 3.09 million who watched the hearings on MSNBC and the 2.21 million tuned in to CNN.

It completely flips the typical viewing pattern for the news networks. During weekdays...Fox News Channel routinely has more viewers than the other two networks combined, Nielsen said.

Last Thursday, Fox had 1.33 million viewers for the 2 p.m. Eastern hour before the hearing started [...]

After the hearing started, Fox’s audience’s sank to 747,000 for the 3 p.m. Eastern hour and even lower, to 718,000, at 4 p.m. Fox cut away from the hearing at 5 p.m. to show its popular panel program, “The Five,” and fans immediately rewarded them: viewership shot up to 2.76 million people, Nielsen said.

The apparent lack of interest explains why the frequently Trump-friendly network stuck with its regular lineup during the committee’s only prime-time hearing, while ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC all showed the Washington proceedings.

[emphasis added]

So we now see that many Fox News viewers choose to keep themselves in the right-wing echo chamber. When Fox deviates from the echo chamber, they tune out. 

Fox News has learned that if it wants to keep its audience, it has to pander to the beliefs of the right-wing alternate reality that their audience wants to live in. 

It’s a vicious (and terrifying) mutually-reinforcing cycle of ignorance, disinformation, hate, and bigotry.

Trader Joe’s is facing a litany of union-busting charges before the National Labor Relations Board. The agency’s prosecutors have accused the company of illegally retaliating against workers, firing a union supporter and spreading false information in an effort to chill an organizing campaign.

But in a hearing last Tuesday, the grocer’s attorney briefly summarized a sweeping defense it intends to mount against the charges: The labor board itself, which was created during the New Deal and has refereed private-sector collective bargaining for nearly 90 years, is “unconstitutional.”

The argument would appear to fit inside a broader conservative effort to dismantle the regulatory state, which has taken aim at agencies tasked with enforcing laws to protect workers, consumers and the environment.

The exchange, a transcript of which HuffPost obtained through a public records request, came at the start of a trial to determine whether Trader Joe’s violated workers’ rights. Trader Joe’s’ attorney, Christopher Murphy of the law firm Morgan Lewis, informed the judge, Charles Muhl, that there was “one final thing” the grocery chain wanted to add to its defense before proceedings began.

“Harry’s House” by Harry Styles

Of his third solo effort, British pop superstar Harry Styles confessed to Better Homes & Gardens that it was the first time “it doesn’t feel like my life is over if this album isn’t a commercial success.” He didn’t have much to worry about, however — “Harry’s House” was a hit straightaway, with all 13 of the album’s tracks landing in the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 in its first week. And it’s a musical success, too — the tracklist moves between big, body-moving songs like “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” and “Late Night Talking” to quieter, lyric-focused numbers like “Matilda,” an ode to resilience and chosen family, and “Keep Driving,” an evocative string of images that conjures a past relationship. Styles’ sound feels of the moment, but also like any given song could slot into another decade seamlessly. All we can hope for is future invitations into his space. — Capewell

Harry's House is one of HuffPost's top 12 albums of 2022!

'What on earth are the levelling up secretary, Michael Gove, and the deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, doing in a men-only club in 2024? It’s more than two decades, for heaven’s sake, since the then Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith – not one of nature’s more radical progressives – rejected honorary membership of the Carlton Club on the grounds that the Conservatives’ oldest gentlemen’s club denied full membership rights to female MPs. It took seven years of arm-twisting, but eventually the club surrendered, accepting that leaders couldn’t be seen publicly condoning its practices. Though perhaps “publicly” is the relevant word, given that some Garrick members seemingly didn’t see the problem until they were outed and exposed to female colleagues’ ire.'

If Iain Duncan Smith is more progressive then you (20 years ago!), you need a kick up the backside

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/22/garrick-club-row-women-men

You can go fuck yourself and yes, I just saw all of the sudden dust up over the Garrick Club, conveniently kicked up in the last couple of days. What should I assume, then? That the Team Z network found out ahead of time that Benedict would be going there and created said controversy. You people are nothing but a bunch of parasites. What I'm wondering right this minute...is who put Rishi Sunak up to getting involved.

Because The Guardian, The Standard, The Telegraph, Huffpost, etc are ALL rags that you all have used to go after him, before.

Hey, Ben. if you were invited beforehand to the club, whoever invited you, might be behind this.

“You’re using up resources needed for sick people!” Ben was told.

“This is what we call a boozer,” he overheard.

A doctor told him, “This is the last time I’m going to save your life!”

「なぜ批判されているのか？」ブームだからじゃないでしょうかw大抵のイスラム諸国は文字通りイスラム法シャリアに基づいた文化を持ちカタールも例外ではありません。なのに他のイスラム諸国には言及されずカタールが目立って非難されるのはW杯というブームの所為だからだと思います。だからたぶんW杯が終われば皆コロッと忘れるのではないでしょうか。

もう一つ陰謀論的に言えば政治的理由があるかもしれません。カタールの外交問題は記憶に新しいところですが

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E5%B9%B4%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E5%A4%96%E4%BA%A4%E5%8D%B1%E6%A9%9F

これが影響しているかもしれません。去年からの急な国交回復は恐らくW杯を理由としたもので、そもそもの問題が解決したわけではありません。そのくすぶった問題に対イランの立場からイスラエル・アメリカが一枚噛んでカタールに対するディスインフォメーションを試みているのかもしれませんね、ハフポストさんwこの記事を書いた記者さん等がスンニ派やイスラエルと関りがあるのか分かりませんが、他のイスラム社会に飛び火することなくカタール一国が非難されている状況を見るとあながち見当はずれとも言い切れないかもしれません。でも凄く陰謀論的ですねw
