Re: MTG Smack down

Rashida Tlaib's seat is very safe. She won in a landslide in the 2022 general. The Arab and African American communities and many white progressives view her fondly. I live on the NE edge of her district. Her most recent quarterly mailing showed a detailed list of all the federal grant money she (p...

Any legal expense spent by big oil will be a rounding error.

Re: Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor

The Bridge is excellent; that is a terrific thought.

WOOD-TV has hired newspaper reporters in the past; maybe she'd be a good fit for them, too.

Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor

This is an excellent and eye opening report on Gannett's toxic corporate culture from The Detroit News: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2024/05/09/michigan-editor-who-covered-ottawa-county-upheaval-fired/73614238007/ I feel bad for the employees of Gannett's community newspaper...

More stupidity from Dana Nessel

How many taxpayer dollars will be wasted on this outrageously frivolous lawsuit? https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2024/05/09/fossil-fuel-climate-change-big-oil-and-gas-industry-dana-nessel-michigan-lawsuit-private-law-firms/73624884007/ I think this is the most irresponsible use...

WAKV during its Adult Standards / Big Band era was a cool little station! He had a great voice, too.

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS

Unlikely, except for perhaps one or more of the translators.

Beasley, if it needs to raise cash prior to entering chapter 11, is more likely to look to divest stations in New Jersey, its crappy standalone AM in Atlanta, or stations in the puny Augusta, GA and Fayetteville, NC markets.

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS

If you mean in terms of present day values, probably a range of $8 million to $10 million. Caroline Beasley is delusional based on her earnings announcement remarks: "In summary, Beasley's underlying fundamentals-mainly, our local audio and digital platforms and audience engagement-remain strong. We...

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS

They overpaid for 105.9 and that group of translators.

Cumulus evidently didn't want to sell 93.1 to a commercial broadcaster. 93.1 sold for about $3 million less than 105.9.

Re: RFK, Jr trying to show he belongs on the debate stage

There are indeed a select few that have severe allergic reactions to vaccine ingredients (egg, as an example). Sorry to hear about those reactions; that is extremely scary stuff!!! In such situations, forgoing the vaccine is absolutely the correct choice. For children who have no history of incurrin...

Re: Weather reporting

The primary tornado that carved a path from Centreville to near Union City based on a preliminary assessment had peak winds of 130 MPH, making it an EF-2. This is the twister that spawned a tornado emergency declaration for northern Branch County for a time. A much weaker, brief secondary tornado wa...

Re: RFK, Jr trying to show he belongs on the debate stage

I had chicken pox in 7th grade (there was no vaccine yet) and found it to be a miserable experience. I would've much rather been healthy and in school.

Re: MTG Smack down

So, only 4 Repubs voted to oust him.

I'm torn as to who the bigger jackass is - MTG or Tom Massie.
