This is your regular reminder that while major news networks often call races, the gold standard for when a race gets called — and what a lot of outlets look to — is when @apnews.com calls it.

It's almost as if the billionaire and VC owners of news outlets all decided that they won't report on news that doesn't give them more power.

More to the point: big outlets are more likely to do iterative political reporting *of people in power.*
That is important (heck, arguably necessary), but frames politics as a thing that primarily happens among the powerful, and not *also* among the electorate — which, I think, is a huge mistake.

Christy Clark. Justin Trudeau. Once again the only Canadian journalists able to publish criticism of entrenched power are those working for US outlets. After a decade, nothing has changed. We still pretend we’re a functioning democracy.

CBS, ABC, CNN, Reuters, AP, the Washington Post and Politico all called the US bombing of Qeshm Island "defensive", even after the Trump regime attacked them.
The public needs a media who will hold power to account, and the mainstream outlets will fail to do so again.

U.S. Public Can't Afford to Forgive the Media Mistakes that Led to Trump's Regime
Fox, Sinclair and the billionaire-owned newsrooms softened Trump and spared Israel. The outlets that got it right are scattered, and they can win together.

It’s as if national news media outlets have so normalized fascism for themselves that it’s not an issue at all for anyone.
The fascist violence of ICE raids is a big American issue. So many in power emulate Nazis.

Holy fuck what an exhausting and annoying day. Finally got computer back up and running after PG&E turned off the power and then when it came back it fried the outlets in the shed where my PC is. Had to go get a long ass surge protector for the one working outlet

Here is the proof of what I was saying in the previous report. The United States desperately needs to regulate the handful of billionaires who have taken over news media, and control social media. The basic trend mishaping America is their lack of integrity.

If the big chains/franchises can't employ Canadians for full time roles, offer better pay.
Independent coffee shops seem able to employ people, big chains evade taxes, have power to negotiate lower rents, and underpay workers. It's unfair to workers and small food+beverage outlets.

There are SO MANY rechargeable lamps out there now.
Or you get a little Jackery generator, put it under an end table, and then you outlets near the sofa AND backup if the power goes out.

Today, I used the outlets in my EV for the first time. Cutting up lumber with a circular saw, on the tailgate of my electric truck, out in the storage yard where I put my boat up for the winter (where there is no power)… felt goooood. I love how efficient, capable, and well-engineered this beast is.
