Kerch bridge attack, big story, yes? Fox News about an hour ago, I went to see what they had to say about the Kerch bridge, and not one article, but two of their “above the fold” articles are gossip rag articles on terrible country music stars, and one on kook RFK Jr. WTF, I guess they are avoiding the topic because it would be good for Biden. ---

The stamp on it is 7:33am July 17th, and if they had not pulled in AP wire source, it would be a much more poorly structured story. The header line says it is filed under “ **World** ”, but not if you go to that section to look for it. Search for “Kerch” works, FWTW. ---

Jesse Watters took over Tucker Carlson’s time slot. Watters’s (liberal) mother called in to talk to the host on his show. What ensued was rather noteworthy (video contained within the story – very brief): > **[Jesse Watters chastised by his mother on air in his Fox primetime debut](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jesse-watters-mom-fox-news-tucker-carlson-b2377101.html)** > > ‘We do not want to lose you and we want no lawsuits, OK?’ Do I think this was even the slightest bit spontaneous? Nah. I’m guessing that – subsequent to CNN’s brief but spectacular failure to shift to the right – Murdoch might be launching a trial balloon to see if a tack _even slightly toward_ the center would bankrupt him. YMMV, of course. ---

I guess Faux is readying the stage for Holocaust denial. Keep slipping crap into the telecast until the cult is anesthetized, then speak the quiet part out loud.

> [@smithsb](#): > > These monsters should be shot into the sun. Now, that is a bit extreme, would cost too much, and would not be useful. It would be more humane to put them to work, at physical labor, under the strict management of a supervisor whom they cannot challenge and must engage in _any activity_ he directs. Leg irons would be a nice touch, as well. ---

That was my thought when I heard about this ridiculous Florida idea. They will just spin any bit of history. Dictators always have to have the conviction that they are doing good, the cruelty is a good thing. People have to be destroyed for the greater good. ---
