Some of the limits of public support for freedom of the press are made stark with a quarter of Americans (26%) saying they agree "the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior," including a plurality of Republicans (43%)
Pilot here. Can say the same. But remember that natural-born pilots fly with the guts, literally. You feel the flight in your stomach.
That's what got John F. Kennedy Junior killed, Anonymous Coward. He 'felt' the flight instead of using his instruments - his gut wrongly told him he was in a level descent, when he was in fact in a spiral. Had he used his artificial horizon, he would have realized his mistake.
The graveyard spiral is a likely scenario in this accident. "An observed loss of altitude during a coordinated constant-rate turn that has ceased stimulating the motion-sensing system can create the illusion of being in a descent with the wings level. The disoriented pilot will pull back on the controls, tightening the spiral and increasing the loss of altitude."
A news format with a 15 minute repeat cycle (all the 24 hours in 'news mode' vs 'editorial', not that there is much diff) is supposed to make us 'understand'?
No, but news reporting with insightful analysis is.
Something like you see every night for an hour on PBS -
Saying sources but then not giving context as to who is meaningless. 'Sources' say the sky is red.
Not true, Anonymous Coward.
Professional reporters / trusted news organizations spend decades cultivating reliable sources and keeping those sources confidential. Generally a reputable news organization will require multiple sources before citing major news stories, and the credibility of the source will be carefully vetted.
Woodward and Bernstein's confidential source (Deep Throat) brought down Nixon.
A Washington Post source helped discredit Bill Clinton's misleading claim about Hillary Clinton's "marked classified" emails.
There are hundreds of more examples. Anonymous, vetted sources are what helps governments and corporations honest.
The fact that reputable news organizations are only rarely wrong when it comes to the stories they report based on their sources prove it's not 'meaningless.'
News is reporting on events and who said what, were when and how.
Eg: President Trump went to an Update NY Military Base this week and said this, they were so many people there.
News is also about providing *factual context* about why he said what he said at a military base, not just that he went there. It's about a trusted source helping you understand the reasons behind actions.
e.g. "President Trump went to an Update NY Military Base this week. Sources closes to the President stated that this was in part due to his desire to improve his sagging poll numbers in the northeast" or "President Trump went to an Update NY Military Base this week. Analysts point to the recent saber-rattling by militarists in Pakistan as one of the reasons the President is also sending a message that he is Commander-in-Chief."
It's not just news, it's helping you understand the news.
Otherwise, it's just a newsreader reading out a calendar from a teleprompter.
What happened to the deadbolt locks that used to be on the inside of every door?
They open the door a couple of inches, hit the deadbolt and say "Hi, sorry, housekeeping!" through the gap.
You then say "Hi there, just a second" and unlatch the deadbolt and let them in or you say "Hi there, can you come back in 30 minutes?" and they cheerily respond "OK no problem!"
The idea is to allow you to benefit from your work for a LIMITED time
Why LIMITED though? Stephen King published "The Shining" 40 years ago. People are still discovering it, and buying it. Why shouldn't he still benefit from that?
Why should I be able to sell a copy of the The Shining to you without having to give Stephen King his cut?
while simultaneously taking aim at California's unique ability to set more stringent rules
Trump, his Republican cronies, and their voters, are such a collection of hypocrites.
For decades, all Republicans do is bleat "STATES' RIGHTS!" - But when those states actually exercise those rights (emissions / drug policy / guns) the Republicans do everything in their power to stomp all over them.
Half my friends are on Android, half are on iOS. WhatsApp lets me chat with them easily across either platform, including group chats and (free) global voice conversations. SMS / MMS is a pain in that regard. Sending images and videos is also easy. My only complaint is they don't have a PC client - The fact that you can seamlessly move from PC to mobile is one of the things I really like about Facebook messenger.
Call it what you want - The result is some of the happiest, healthiest, best-educated free people in the world, with 80%+ less crime than the USA. If that's "socialism" I think many, many Americans would happily take it.
I don't understand the concept of "renting" movies. Information wants to be free.
It's pretty straightforward. You hook your VCR up to your buddy's VCR and copy the VHS tape you've rented from Blockbuster onto a blank tape. Free information.
Note that you may also need an RX2 Video Stabilizer.
Of course there are government conspiracies that don't come out until later. For example, there may be a conspiracy for the Trump Administration to collude with Russia to break up NATO and sow discord amongst Western Allies - But we just don't know yet - And may never know.
There may be a conspiracy for the Heritage Foundation to select the next Supreme Court Judge. But again, we don't know.
However, there are huge areas that are pretty cut-and-dry.
When Trump says the USA has a trade deficit with Canada, that's a lie that's easily disproven with facts. When Trump says "I have watched ICE liberate towns from the grasp of MS-13 & clean out the toughest of situations." that's a lie that is easily disproven with facts.
That's the sort of thing we're taking about here when it comes to fact-checking.
Or they could push back against Trump and align themselves with the majority and have a better chance of winning.
This couldn't be more wrong. The only people who would vote for Republican senators are Republicans, and the amongst Republican voters Trump enjoys 80% - 90% support. Opposing Trump is a path to election loss as you will lose the support of their voters - And they know it.
Being able to have an OS in ROM would be handy, if only to have a way to restore an OS without having to worry about recovery media.
Not sure what you're getting at here. In my MS Surface, the Windows 10 "restore" is in a partition on an SSD that's soldered to the motherboard. If I do a factory reset it comes back to the base image. No recovery disk. I hear you on the OS in ROM - That goes back to my TRS-80 Model 1 (although if you had a "floppy drive" then the TRS-DOS OS loaded from that), but I'm unclear what the benefit to that would be on modern hardware, other than perhaps "instant" on, but my Win 10 Surface already has "instant on?"

Why would a single warship be carrying that much gold?
The "gold" is actually just a cover story.
Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are actually looking for the secret stash of byzanium that is rumoured to be on board.
Not to mention that a few years ago it was still very common to have young pilots pay to fly
But will this finally, once-and-for-all, end those online instructions to "Open a DOS box?"
Puerto Rico was failed by the USA -- no reason for them to seek closer ties to Washington as a state.
They were 'failed' because many, many Americans don't know that Puerto Ricans are also Americans.
If PR was a state at least a few more Americans would realize PRs are citizens, too.
That's socialism, bro.

Sigh.
Anonymous Coward, please turn off Fox news and go read a newspaper.

Take whichever stat helps support your political view.
No, take the stat which represents the generally-agreed-upon definition of a trade surplus or trade deficit.

How well do paper straws work with thick shakes?
As a former Fat Bastard, man do I miss thick shakes.
Still, I can now go up three flights of stairs without getting winded, so I have that going for me, which is nice.
So you're one of those people who thinks that Windows 10 doesn't actually spy on you?
Fucking idiot
So you're one of those paranoid Anonymous Coward who is incapable of researching something before posting on it?
