The top networks for primetime viewership last week were led by Fox News, followed by MSNBC, the Home and Garden TV, USA Network and TBS Network to round out the top five. CNN finished 15th, behind networks like Discovery Channel, Food Network, TLC and A&E Network. Their ratings have continued to drop following the conclusion of the Mueller report.The President congratulated the "news" channel:
Agents did not believe that either the source or Mr. Steele was deliberately inventing things, according to the former official. How the dossier ended up loaded with dubious or exaggerated details remains uncertain, but the document may be the result of a high-stakes game of telephone, in which rumors and hearsay were passed from source to source. Another possibility -- one that Mr. Steele has not ruled out -- could be Russian disinformation. That would mean that in addition to carrying out an effective attack on the Clinton campaign, Russian spymasters hedged their bets and placed a few land mines under Mr. Trump’s presidency as well. Oleg D. Kalugin, a former K.G.B. general who now lives outside Washington, saw that as plausible. "Russia has huge experience in spreading false information," he said. Mr. Steele declined to comment for this article. ... Last year, in a deposition in a lawsuit filed against Buzzfeed, Mr. Steele emphasized that his reports consisted of unverified intelligence. Asked whether he took into account that some claims might be Russian fabrications, he replied, "Yes." F.B.I. agents considered whether Russia had polluted the stream of intelligence, but did not give it much credence, according to the former official. But that is an issue to which multiple inquiries are likely to return. There has been much chatter among intelligence experts that Mr. Steele's Russian informants could have been pressured to feed him disinformation. Daniel Hoffman, a former C.I.A. officer who served in Moscow, said he had long suspected the dossier was contaminated by Russian fabrications. The goal, he said, would be to deepen American divisions and blur the line between truth and falsehood. "How many times have hearings on Capitol Hill used information from the dossier?" Mr. Hoffman said. "How much damage has it already caused?" Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

"In case you missed it on Friday, even the shabby DNC front company, the NYT, is now forced to admit that the entire dossier that Jake Tapper so proudly reported on may be nothing more than the product of a Russian Disinformation Campaign aimed at reducing confidence in US elections."
BS. If it was legit, and the dems were just unwitting dupes, why launder the money paid for it through cutouts, why the secrecy, why deny being the source, why go to great lenghts (ham radio) to avoid being discovered. This is all evidence of cognizance of guilt. This latest oopsie is just more of Brennan's "we wuz given bad dope" BS. Hang them.

As we talked about on Friday, the only reason the NYT is now saying that maybe the Dossier was Russian Disinformation is to hide the obvious fact that it was actually written by Team Hillary, who gave it to Steele to rewrite it and make it sound intelligency.

Posted by: Sponge at April 22, 2019 03:15 PM (Zz0t1) -------- It's a mystery to me. The whole point of Egg McMuffin's candidacy was to hand Utah to Hillary - that state is the only reason he was a thing - and Trump stomped him. Then they put Romney in the Senate. It's like how Trump is super-popular in Kentucky, and McConnell will win any primary fight that may happen walking away. These people support Trump in big numbers, and then they elect his biggest Republican opponents to thwart his agenda at every turn.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 22, 2019 03:11 PM (39g3+) CNN is nothing but a plaything for Jeff Zucker. As long as Zucker feels like pumping money into it to support his own political fantasies, it will keep on doing what it's doing no matter how much it loses. When he gets bored with it, then it will end, just like any rich mans plaything. The WaPo is Jeff Bezos' plaything. The Cukshed is Pierre Omidyar's plaything. The Weekly Standard used to be Philip Anschutz' plaything - but then he got bored with it. Posted by: Tom Servo at April 22, 2019 03:19 PM (Kpl3J) 198

Potatoes and pasta are good for you. What a lot of no-carb diets and theories ignore is that not all carbs are equal. Complex carbohydrates are useful. Processed sugars and especially HFCS are what really needs cut.
Correct. Cutting out all carbs is very bad for your health. Cutting out bad carbs and especially processed sugars is good for it. High fructose corn syrup is no worse for you than just cane sugar, but its so common that its a lot more likely to sneak into your diet in places you don't expect like mayonnaise, nuts, macaroni and cheese, salad dressing, pizza sauce and even bread.

I think Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Israel are the only places I'd really consider. Japan seems to be recovering from its flirtation with Leftist stupidity (and I'd be able to get new Nintendo releases months earlier), Taiwan and South Korea have long lived under Communist threat and have no room for illusions or error, and Israel was at least wise enough to re-elect Bibi.
I wouldn't choose Japan if you plan on working. Their work culture is insane, and despite their love of technology, almost all companies over there are technologically stuck in the stone age. Also, unless you're the right kind of Japanese, your career is going nowhere. Israel seems awesome, except for the rocket attack alarms. Posted by: bonhomme at April 22, 2019 03:48 PM (9t0Zz) 365

Well, oddly enough, Russia then. Bonus: full of hot young Russian women Drawback: they don't stay young or hot. Plus, its run by the Russian mob, and the climate sucks bags. There's a reason Russians are uniformly depressed and drink a lot. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 22, 2019 04:05 PM (39g3+) I ain't got that many more years left where hot women play any factor in my decisions. The mob - so I trade the legal Mob of the US Congress for the semi-legal Russian mob. Hard to get excited about that. At least payoffs to the Russian Mob might buy me being left alone. Now climate, okay. But I could learn to like snow again if I had to. Posted by: DamnedYankee at April 22, 2019 04:07 PM (37IEG) 460

If the strip club I was in on Thursday night is a true representation, then Cuba is likely full of really hot women.

Just imagine how drug dealers, gang members, various other assorted criminals, layabouts, Muslim terrorists, and vagrants fare in Singapore.

338 In German, they're "elf" and "zwolf," so that part was always fun.
Posted by: Lance McCormick too busy working at work at April 22, 2019 03:39 PM (84QUd) Yeah, but that just moves the inquiry re "eleven" and "twelve" back further to German. Next after "zwolf" is "dreizehn," etc. So the same questions applies there. it's like you guys don't even know that wiktionary has etymologies.
