People keep bringing this up but it's not true. The broadcast rights are given to the individual stations (Indy channels 4, 6, 8, 13, 59, etc.), not the networks. The networks are content providers, not broadcasters.
Everything has held steady for over two years now, with multiple digitals and MRIs. It's just the rising PSA that's got her stumped. High PSA in and of itself is a nothingburger, so I'm not concerned. I was willing to do the Finasteride as part of her "let's see what happens" approach just to keep her happy (and it hasn't had any side effects, thankfully). If it doesn't change anything, I'll quit it.
Nice enough gal, but no, just a frumpy middle aged gal. We get along well.
Do people actually think the report of Biden's cancer diagnosis coincidentally happened right before the drop of the Tapper book? Is it really conspiracy thinking to question that timing and wonder if maybe this issue might have been known before and the timing here engineered?
The irony, of course, is that the revelation of this story sure looks like an attempt to deflect news and discussion about an actual, now documented, conspiracy about covering up the President's mental health for years.
But I guess only right wing conspiracy nuts would be suspicious . . . oh wait:

They help spread the bullshit.
Honestly, my solution to a certain degree would be to make the press pool a revolving door of more local reporters from around the US. Kick the larger legacy media brands in the access and instead of having Jake "Beltway" Tapper asking questions of his buddies, let Jacqueline Smith from Chicago and John Jones from Indianapolis and Sherry Hughes from Baltimore and Ben Miller from Oklahoma City (all made up) have a month on the press pool and then rotate in a new group. I think you are more likely to get relevant questions from people out more in "flyover" country (of all political stripes) than you are from people who are part of the beltway club.
The cancer is about the least important thing about all of this but it has become the center of attention. So tinfoil hat I guess. To me it is, sorry to hear that because that disease sucks but can we get back to making sure a dementia patient can't retain the duties of President should this happen again please?Do people actually think the report of Biden's cancer diagnosis coincidentally happened right before the drop of the Tapper book?

there's a more foundational problem. journalists lean left. it's a lefty field. they're wired that way. half of them probably don't even know theyre exhibiting bias just by virtue of the stories they decide to cover/present
It's equally concerning to allow someone to be president after inciting an insurrection but here we are. At least 28 can't have any worse choices.
And check who are the largest owners of individual stations and how they approach politics.
I'm always curious why people think that content creation and distribution is different than other businesses that utilize public spaces to monetize their wares.
That’s never been the case. The fairness doctrine combatted monopoly by simply requiring contrasting viewpoints. You could still be full of shit
It's become much worse, though, over our lifetimes.
A lot of it is due to money, though: people vote with their subscriptions and views.
Bought and paid, Brad. Bought and paid. 🤣
Who's to say that neither side is telling the truth? Truth can be an complex thing.
What is included? What is omitted? What is emphasized? What is downplayed? What kind of language (or "framing") do they use? Are there relevant details that no outlet even knows? If so, can we say that any report is the full, unvarnished truth?
I'm sure there's a whooooole lot of "truth" that never makes its way into the ether -- whether it's deliberately kept hidden by somebody or not.
So, I'd just say that some of the onus falls on we consumers of news to discern the best, most complete version of the truth that we can. And that can be helped by having a proper understanding of a source's biases and priors....as well as a healthy dose of skepticism.
I've learned a lot of life lessons over my years. And one of the top ones is to not believe everything I read/hear.
This is what I mean by healthy skepticism.
My answer to this is: I honestly don't know...it certainly seems possible -- and convenient.
But does that mean it was not a coincidence? No. It could be a coincidence.
So, are the very limited number of people who do know for certain whether it was or wasn't a coincidence going to be honest with all of us? Well, if it wasn't a coincidence, then they've already answered that question. And we're left only with the degree to which we trust them.
No, they aren't going to be honest. They are not honest people. And before anyone goes there, neither is Trump. Obvi.
Congress can and does refer suspected criminality to the DOJ for action. If they had something to send to DOJ, you know they would have. Whether the DOJ did anything with them or not it would be public and that’s what the Republicans want. On 20 Jan it was Trump’s DOJ, and Congress didn’t do it then either. Now that Biden isn’t President DOJ could investigate, charge and prosecute. Congress found nothing criminal to refer to the DOJ. That’s the bottom line.
Ironic to me is the notion that those who stated they wanted to save democracy actually threw democracy into the wood chipper with the Biden coverup.
The worst might be yet to come. There is already some evidence that Biden was unaware of some of his executive actions (LNG exports). This might be because he was too senile to remember, or it could be that was done without his knowledge. If we examine the record closely enough, he indicated he wasn’t fully aware of the extent of the border problem. If it develops some of the border decisions were taken without his knowledge or consent, we have a genuine crisis.
Doubled down on where inflation was and it wasn’t even in the ballpark. How could he be that off. Again the cover up is the worst thing in American politics in my lifetime.
Crisis? Biden isn’t the President. Was there a crisis the year after Wilson left office in 1921 because of Wilson’s incapacitating stroke in 1919?
We all know any issues during the current presidency is solely the responsibility of the previous president
Do you think states who paid for health care for those here without presidential authority under the immigration law would have a damage claims against the government?
Have you seen the number of immigrants let in. The nonconfined docket of criminals. Have gas prices gone down? Have prices gone down ? The lives lost over bail projects and defund. Did these problems instantly end because of a calendar? Good grief man.
This was the worst president in modern history and we’re stuck with his legacy. And I’m convinced it wasn’t him. He was a proxy for the worst of the radical left. This wasn’t Joe Biden. It was soros. AOC. Cori bush. On and on. The American public got duped and disenfranchised with a weekend at Bernie’s presidency.
Thank god for Dems msm is in the bag for them. This is the biggest story in American politics in the last 50 years
More and more will come out
Oh and where is the threat to democracy crowd now?
Do you think maga supporters should refund the government for the public education funds they wasted?
Obviously they didn't pay much attention in class
I didn’t know you were a MAGA supporter.
Blame that shrew wife of his, "joe you answered every question"
And honestly it would not have been that hard for biden to win again if he had just been somewhat moderate but he was controlled by others clearly. And I do not see how they pivot because their biggest voting block are the fare left right now. They claim they are for unions but the union vote they get now are teachers and government unions. My buddy is in the trades in chicago and he says all those union guys now vote trump. That used to be a 100 dem vote.
