Are we that sure they'll be worse off? I mean, I assume some of the people who made the really irresponsible decisions will be going, and if there's a journalistic god the only writing Jordan Sargent (the guy who outed the non-political private person on behalf of the deranged blackmailer) will be doing is on Starbuck's cups.

But I would think for most of them, being integrated into a cross-platform stable international news organization would be a good thing.

No ad when I viewed it. You're doing it wrong.

That story is shocking. Bannon is completely dismissive of even trying to win. Campaigning is only useful for building followers for 'the movement'.

Yes. The one bad thing about Merkel is that apparently a bunch of refugee/migrants said she invited them to Germany and that's why they ALL decided to come to Europe via human smugglers in an ever-increasing wave. Its all a fascinating study in unintended consequences! On the good side, Euros don't sneer at how racist Americans are as much. Bad side, we haven't hit bottom yet..

Dirk Benedict? Hunh. I loved gay fanfiction with his characters. I hate the new Battlestar Galactica, but he seems to have gone off the deep end. Maybe we all wrote one too many fanfics emasculating him...

Bannon is a huge fan of Nigel Farage. I can only hope Farage gets involved in Trump's campaign.

Some Nazis these days have reached a nuanced position that Jews in Israel, pushing Palestinians around and staying out of White Man's Europe, are all right.
