CNN Is Running Commercials on WTBS

advertising its bombshell coverage of January 6 hearings.

Really?

Advertising?

A real editor would have flushed the telecast already … or provided the missing context

But it appears the plurality of editors are ideologues and believe in the propaganda value above all else.

Which School of Journalism is the most left … Northwestern or IU’s (Ernie) Pyle?

Not really. Reds have been difficult to embrace for some time now. Saw those great/perfect Dodger uniforms on baseball cards as a seven-year-old. No better uniform in sports.

You should stop this crazy talk before someone thinks you are serious.

I have a yearly bet with two college friends between the Reds, Cubs, and Pirates. Usually, it consists of all three of us complaining about how much our team sucks. This year when the Reds got off to that start, the Pirate fan offered to trade me teams as he was sure the Pirates would end with the worst record. So for this year, and this year alone, I'm a Pirate fan. So with that said, why didn't 7-year-old you fall in love with Roberto Clemente's team?
 
The best jerseys in sports are simple and classic. Notre Dames home blues, the Blackhawks Red sweater, etc.

After all those teams are just farm teams for the Dodgers, Yankees, etc.🤣

Hated the yellow (or gold) and black, sleeveless Pirates uniforms. What is it with Pittsburgh teams? All the same, ugly colors. Goes for Purdue, as well. Any team (Iowa, Saints, etc.) with that scheme has my eternal enmity.

Dodger uniforms are classic, with the angled “Dodgers” and then the one touch of red in the number on the front. No other uniform comes close.

I certainly agree about gold and black.

But in the end, I'm not a fashion consultant so I really never consider what a uniform looks like in choosing a team. I wanted to be a catcher, my dad had a very successful career as a catcher, and Johnny Bench was a Red. So I was a Reds fan.

Not a bad reason to be a Reds fan. Bench redefined how the position was/is played. And to hit as he did/could was truly amazing.

You really like that sick blue version? Blech.
No but this is classic and the yellow bat is.....chef's kiss. Even the gray is decent

I have always been partial to the Yankees' pinstripes. I followed them and the Cardinals when I was younger. More partial to the team from the Bronx now but I was a SS when I was younger and Ozzie Smith was a big draw.

Penguins colors used to be light blue and black and white and then they harmonized. Pittsburgh fans suck.
 
They’re dying. New boss wants to be more mainstream. And I want to play Center field for the Dodgers.
Correct but they have little hope of that with the current staff they have. He would have to clean house and get rid of all the partisan lefties like Don Lemon and Seltzer.

My daughter was a correspondent and on-air, reporting from the Capitol and the White House. (Now with Facebook, Media Crisis Management Team.)

We toured the DC studio/facility. Liberal/Democrat posters and crap everywhere. Jake Tapper’s office was a shrine to lefties.

CNN has a LONG way to go to reach any semblance of balance. Early on, they had a nice niche as a national and global pure news organization. They would require a total makeover to get back to those days.

CNN is not media. It’s propaganda.

Dodgers are the most iconic brand in baseball.

New York pinstripe is gauche...

Yes (Dodgers); no (Yankees).

I do prefer the teams that keep the basic uniform design. Penn State and Alabama football, for example. Some pro teams and some colleges seem to change every couple of years. Just look at IU and all the craziness over helmet design.
