But he was going to use the money to help his parents and a non-profit that brings art to schools. More noble than both Kenzie and Charlie, who basically said they'd use it to set themselves up for the future. So you'd give someone a million based on that question? I think my point is why...

Right. That's why I couldn't understand why Kenzie's answer apparently won her the game. She didn't need the money any more than anyone else. It's kind of a dumb question I guess is my point. Especially if you're making your decision on it.

I thought Ben had the best answer to "what will you do with the money." Kenzie's answer was odd, to me. "I own a business and could easily make a lot of money, but it's not about the money. But give me the money to change my life." I liked her, but Charlie clearly was the better player based...

Yup. I think clinical trial on unvaccinated was closer to 90% reduction in hospitalization. That's what I recall being the selling point in articles I read, not symptom relief or lesser duration. I won't argue that it may be over prescribed.i don't really know, but I've heard a lot of healthy...

Care to unpack that Paxlovid statement? Clinical trials seemed to show it was pretty effective for those at risk in limiting hospitalization. Or are you saying it wasn't effective for healthy adults? I mean, I guess that's true. But almost every drug isn't effective for a population that isn't...

My scouts story: out of college I applied for a job that didn't say who the employer was. I forget what the title was. Program manager or something. It felt very much like an old boy's club when I interviewed. The guy said "The day they let gays in is the day I quit." They offered me the job...

You're right. No one has said that. They've just said things like everyone would be better off if they didn't pay attention to the news. Or that media's goal is to make every problem your problem. Pretty negative views. Of course, I don't think anyone is talking about the same thing when they...

You gave me three examples of events that would span hundreds if not thousands of actual NPR stories. Not an individual story. So it's difficult - if not impossible without a lot more time than I have - to review all of those stories and find the evidence of journalists performing what you...

No, I meant to quote what I quoted. I asked for examples of stories that backed this up: "The bigger point is the idea legacy media too often misses the actual news and tries to make one care about when it's not directly related to the person. Or leans toward a conclusion they're making that...

Yeah, that was kind of my issue. That's a very general statement by Berliner. There weren't any specifics. And I didn't really pay attention to their coverage, so I don't know how egregious they were compared to others. The only example I recall was him saying they used words similar to...

Reuters is the first that comes to mind. The problem is a lot of what you call legacy media has news and opinion arms. I don't read NPR, but my guess is their news is less troublesome than most think. Just like most on the left would be surprised that Fox's news arm isn't as bad as they'd...

Do you have examples? Honestly asking, because that's not been my experience. But I mostly consume news, not opinion.

Yeah. I think where it was probably made it worse. If it had been lower in the story in a "recent history" type graph that had more context, it wouldn't have looked so bad.

If you're referring to the rebuttal, I recommend reading it. He doesn't say it's not happening, but that Uri did what he accused NPR of doing. Which doesn't help lead to change. I think everyone agrees NPR is moving further left - from a starting point of being left. But Uri making up facts to...

Thanks for doing the legwork. These seem more fair than I expected - most pointed to cooling demand. They quoted Musk himself. Didn't like this, however: "...controversy around its unpredictable chief executive, Elon Musk." I would have edited that out, unless further in the story they had...
