Thatâs one very big baby.
Iâm not shocked heâs had a heel turn for his return to the WWE recently, then⌠

Priest jailed after man collapsed from too many erectile drugs at clericâs sex party
According to Polish media, the victim had taken too many erectile dysfunction pills. An ambulance was called but when paramedics arrived they were refused entry and were only able to administer aid after police arrived.
The priest, referred to as Tomasz Z, was sentenced for sexual offences, supplying drugs and failing to provide assistance to a person in danger of loss of life or serious bodily harm.
Somehow I doubt that theyâre filing the required paperwork for that commercial drone use. (Because it probably weighs more than the drone.)
Too soon?
Itâs true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding.
In recent years, however, that has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population.
If you are conservative, you will read this and say, duh, itâs always been this way.
But it hasnât.
For decades, since its founding in 1970, a wide swath of America tuned in to NPR for reliable journalism and gorgeous audio pieces with birds singing in the Amazon. Millions came to us for conversations that exposed us to voices around the country and the world radically different from our ownâengaging precisely because they were unguarded and unpredictable. No image generated more pride within NPR than the farmer listening to Morning Edition from his or her tractor at sunrise.
Back in 2011, although NPRâs audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.
By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We werenât just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.
An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we donât have an audience that reflects America.
That wouldnât be a problem for an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience. But for NPR, which purports to consider all things, itâs devastating both for its journalism and its business model.
Who??
NPR doesnât exist in a vacuum. RW talk radio exploded during the time he mentions. NPR has been trying to âboth sidesâ its way into having a larger conservative audience, but it is a doomed to fail effort. The republicans they are trying to attract donât really exist anymore.
I never heard a peep about this:
Follow the money that supports news outlets like NPR to lose any lingering illusions about their reporting:
Itâs the same reason my list of news sources keeps shrinking every year:
Nothing exists to the left of liberals? And what are âtraditional liberalsâ, which sounds like word-fuckery for right libertarians/âclassical liberalismâ?
