Aren’t there’re three Byron Donalds, Aaron Ford, and  David Crowley?  But why leave out Keisha Lance Bottoms?  Just because she is a woman?  Still the first black governor in that state.

I think he has that backwards.  She said he was kinfolk, but it was confusing.  Here is the quote from the NY Post.

“‘I will say, though, you know, as they say in my community, all kinfolk ain’t skinfolk,’ Sanders Townsend said, although she appeared to mean it the other way around.”

Anyway, whether kinfolk or not mainstream outlets like MS now clearly have reported on Donalds.  Why did you fail to mention the other two people poised to become the first black governors in their respective states?  There are four such people; three men and a woman.

I’m especially proud of Byron Donald who dodged the blue wave and is now Florida’s governor.

At least it was a white he.  And he was shooting to the left from his vehicle which meant he must have been to the right.  

Anyway, facts don't matter to journalists,  narratives do. 

Keep Calm and BBC On.

Wasn't this based on a statement by the government? "Everything points to the fact that the shooter was influenced by far-right ideology, a matter that will also be subject to investigation," Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski told a news briefing.

That has now been walked back from what I can tell.

Journalist's job is to doubt and check the government.  Otherwise Pravda and CCP state media is all we need.

I noticed that crude dropped about $17 a barrel the day after the election and have been asking the same question ever cents.  Miraculous!  Kinda like the news about the covid vaccine was held till after the 2020 election?  Just who exactly has the ability to do this?  The reports for two months before the election were that oil was moving through the strait at the same pace as before the war started.
