Re: "It's four years of scorched earth when Trump takes office". Who said it?
Adam Schiff? Bill Maher? Kamala Harris? Lara Trump! https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/lara-trump-four-years-of-scorched-earth-if-trump-wins.html Basically if you think of the Presidents since FDR as a continuation of one another in attitude and style… Trump functions somewhere on the outside ...

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
WMYD is not carried by any of the big three streaming services: YouTube TV, Hulu, and DirecTV Stream. WKBD is found on all three. Mike Murri or some flunky Scripps corporate SVP needs to get off their ass and find a way to improve distribution of WMYD. I would have hoped if 7 is carried by the stre...

Re: Biden makes false and misleading claims during Pennsylvania campaign swing
They both are doing it and candidates have done it since the beginning of time. I just ignore it. We know the truth. Well informed voters do anyhow. The media sure doesn’t seem to be in the bag for Biden… they harp on his gaffes like it was manna from heaven and use it like a cudgel to hit him over...

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
The "local sports" reference is interesting. We saw some Pistons and Wings games air on 20 this month. I wonder if more of that is in store for this autumn? There has to be something inherently wrong with how CW approaches affiliation. Losing multiple major station groups as affiliation partners is...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended
This conversation has strayed from the original question of, should a child be suspended for using the phrase "illegal alien" in a classroom? Yes, the "right wing media" as you call it does focus a lot of their attention on the issue of illegal immigration. You and I can differ in opinion on how bi...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended
To be clear, I was responding specifically to RT saying this: the Republican Party has turned the term into a slur the same as calling Democrats communists and socialists when they are neither. All of these terms are used by that political party in bad faith to rile up a bunch of people who don’t k...

Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?
They are indeed rebranding to 7 News Detroit. They have a promo for a story Brad Galli is doing interviewing MSU Football Coach Johnathan Smith. The end of it has the new logo which actually looks pretty decent if you were going to try to be hard news focused. The current VO guy is still at it sadly...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended
THE LEFT is trying to change the definition of a LOT of words and phrases. "Illegal" and "alien" are just two, but "woman" is another one. "it was a racist term in 2024" only applies to THE LEFT. Society has not made that change yet, and may never. THE LEFT (tm) isn’t a thing… whatever you mean to ...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended
All undocumented people ARE illegal aliens, by definition. If you don't like the language, take that up with the federal government, not me. As an aside, the list of people you call names from cunts to pieces of garbage to pieces of shit is much, much longer than 1 person. What we are saying is tha...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended
The federal system considered people 3/5ths of a person too. And by your standard since it isn’t in the code anymore that means it’s NOT OK. Actually, I was wrong. It is only the Library of Congress that has stopped using the term. Interesting nobody corrected me on that point. You, instead, ran wi...
