I once worked for a company where the CEO was widely disliked. One day there came and announcement over the PA that the CEO had left the company. There was loud cheering all around. I was astounded.

When are companies going to figure out that people want the news and not some Left-Wing propaganda that substitutes DEI for competence?. They need to print the news that is the truth.

Absolutely LOVE this line: "People are not reading your stuff,” Only to have staffers still whine about not having any diversity at the leadership level. They simply don't get it. People KNOW they are biased in their reporting and have stopped being a reliable source for actual information.

The ace reporters at the WaPo have been on a ship which has been listing more and more precipitously for years and it’s news to them that the paper is going under? And there are people why rely on them for news and insight?

Diversity isn't going to change anything. No one cares about the AA classification of the writers. They care about what is written.

Pleasing to see this but a lot of print newspapers have their problems. The cost of newsprint, distribution and an expensive union shop all contribute to their financial problems. Add in the availability of news on the internet I worked at our local daily in another life many years ago. Ours cut back to four days a week some time ago. I still subscribe out of loyalty but many others don't bother to pay the subscription costs anymore. Then you have some hacking off a big part of their customer base with their being a one-sided propaganda outlet like WAPO. You might ask that chick that torched Bud Light's sales. I am not sure that print newspapers will be a sustainable business in the coming years.

Medical Journal The Lancet Abandons Science,
Tells Authors to Use ‘Sex Assigned at Birth’

Posted by Beardo 6/4/2024 9:23:48 AM Post Reply
Lancet‘s guidelines encourage writers to embrace gender identity instead of biological sex. “Sex and gender are often incorrectly portrayed as binary (female/male or woman/man), concordant, and static,” says the guidelines. Therefore, those submitting articles “should use the term ‘sex assigned at birth’ rather than ‘biological sex,’ ‘birth sex’ or ‘natal sex’ as it is more accurate and inclusive.” Inclusive for whom? (Rhetorical question. I know the answer. The men pretending to be females) The Lancet claims “there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender or reporting sex-based and gender based analyses.”

OPEC+ reached an internal agreement to prolong its oil production cuts, a move that could raise energy prices in the U.S. ahead of the pivotal 2024 elections, Reuters reported Monday. The oil cartel, made up mostly of Middle Eastern nations and other oil-producing states — is prolonging existing production cuts of 3.66 million barrels per day through the end of 2025 and extending its ongoing cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day through September 2024, according to Reuters. The cartel’s deal to extend the cuts could mean that oil prices will remain high through this fall’s presidential election, according to The Wall Street Journal.

United Methodism’s largest overseas jurisdiction has voted to quit the denomination in response to the church’s divorcing sex from marriage at its governing General Conference earlier this month. The United Methodist Church in the Ivory Coast voted on May 28 to exit the denomination. In 2022, this conference reportedly had over 1.2 million members. So, its departure means over one tenth of United Methodism has in one day left the denomination. Oddly, United Methodist News Service reported the vote very briefly in an emailed news digest but as of today has no article on its website. Perhaps it will post a fuller account later.
