  • Federal. The Atlanta Spa shooter was charged under Georgia's hate crime law. I can assure you, the SPLC knows what they're talking about. Studying and reporting on hate crimes/groups is their whole "thing."

  • Absolutely nothing, but I get the impression they think it's a compelling point.

  • Yeah, that's how prison works. Most people consider it a small price to pay to keep murderers off the streets.

  • .... But there would only ever be one case in the first place? Because once FOX won it applied to everyone else too? There was never a need for additional cases, they all benefited.

    Lol no. That’s not how the real world works. Fox News didn’t establish a precedent by “taking a whammy” on behalf of the rest of the mainstream media so they could all lie freely and thereby ending all potential litigation against media outlets. They just successfully defended themselves. The reason Fox News is the only outlet to mount such a defense in court is because they’re the only outlet that’s consistently, and verifiably, lied under the auspices of “entertainment” and been sued as a direct result.

    Do you understand that “the media” is not a monolith? What Fox News does is not automatically true across the board.

  • Everything else is entertainment media, and they've even gone to court to prove it themselves

    If by “they” you mean Fox News exclusively, then yes, that’s correct. Fox News has made that argument in court.

    Re: LEFT-CENTER bias: These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation.

    Overall, we rate the SFGate Left-Center Biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

    You don’t have to like the tone of the editorial but SFGate is a reputable source.

  • More like Jean Jacquet Rousseau

  • Dave Thomas is sitting up in Hamburger Heaven ready to beat some mfers with a spatula over these shenanigans

  • Donald J. Trump offered a New York appeals court on Wednesday a bond of only $100 million to pause the more than $450 million judgment he faces in his civil fraud case, saying that he might need to sell some of his properties unless he gets relief.

    It was a stunning acknowledgment that Mr. Trump, who is racing the clock to either secure a bond from a company or produce the full amount himself, lacks the resources to do so.

    Once a deadbeat always a deadbeat.

  • That's a pretty fast turn around on walking it back. I guess the backlash was intense. Too little too late though, I'm done with Wendy's. I don't care how they spin it now, we all know this wasn't ever going to benefit customers or reduce strain on staff, it was just a scheme to price gouge during lunch/dinner rush. The fact that they even considered doing this is enough reason to never give them my business again.

    Kirk Tanner's only been CEO for 3 weeks and immediately started in with this fuckery. It'll be interesting to see how many more Mooches he lasts.

  • Good riddance. I'm sure his successor with be much worse, but I'll welcome this news for now.

  • Did I really need to add /s

    Yes. Right wingers say that kind of thing earnestly all the time. Don’t expect people to give you the benefit of the doubt when you start in with ‘white replacement’ rhetoric.

  • "I drank fireball and coors lite in the capitol," Adkins wrote in a message after the attack, according to an FBI affidavit. As he left the Capitol, he was also captured on video yelling, "Let's go get a beer, let's go get a beer!" the FBI said.

    It was like 2:15 on a Wednesday afternoon ya treasonous drunkard...
