Notably: There was a time, kids, when the internet did not exist, and when looking something up in a old newspaper required living in a city with a library serious enough to carry microfilms. Before college, and not being good at arcade games, picking up girls or loitering down by the Bowery, I used to love spending time at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street, wheeling through New York Times microfilms just for the hell of it. Now the Times Machine replicates that for all issues up to 2002. A random item on this day in 1907: “Miss Lucy Von Hogel, a nurse at Vassar Hospital, died yesterday of scarlet fever contracted while attending a stranger who was taken sick on the streets of Poughkeepsie. When Miss Von Hogel was stricken, Miss Faithful Butler, a student at St. Faith’s, who is preparing for a nurse, went to Vassar Hospital to attend her. She in turn contracted the disease, and is now seriously ill in an isolated ward. The man is still alive.” That fucker.

Speaking of which.

—P.T.

Being more or less unembarrassable, Americans are fatally attracted to the embarrassing: they have an anti-talent for it (the Oscars, the primaries, the hearings, the trials, Shirley Temple, Clarence Thomas, Andrea Dworkin, Al Sharpton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Swagart).”

—Martin Amis, from The War Against Cliche (2001).

    The spelling used here is a correct phonetic reflection of the phrase. “Al” is more traditional, but we’re not dogmatic about these things.

    Fox will twist and turn the lawsuit loss and continue their lies. Their watchers will not see the information about Dominion, and the current suit against them from Smartmatic. Fox will keep viewers in the dark about negative findings of their stories, and their commentators, as they have done in the past. We know of people who watch Fox for hours and become so angry at other Americans, that they scream at their TVs. One man in the news just shot a kid who went to the wrong door to pick up his brothers. The man’s grandson was not surprised at what happened, as the man watches Fox all day.

    Sick.

    Yes Laurel,

    Far right winged Rupert Murdoch built his media empire to promote his political ideology. That global media empire publishes misinformation and “propaganda” daily. . . specifically designed to brainwash their viewers into the cult of “white nationalism”!!! They will continue their horrific mission of dividing us by ginning up the “culture wars” using fear and hate!!! FOX has zero regard for credible facts. . . their sole mission is to create political nationalism across the entire world!

    NEW YORK (AP) — Days after Fox News agreed to pay nearly $800 million to settle a lawsuit over its airing of 2020 election lies, you’d be hard-pressed to notice anything had changed there.

    Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham led their shows Thursday talking about Hunter Biden, the president’s son. Ingraham’s show warned, “The left wants the government to be your only family.” Hannity targeted familiar villains — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Vice President Kamala Harris. Carlson mocked a speech on racial equity, saying it meant “that straight white men are bad.”

    Experts doubt the settlement will lead to much of a course correction in conservative media, save for a little less specificity to avoid future lawsuits.

    There’s no way the network did this willingly. This has something to do with the plethora of lawsuits the company is facing or has recently settled.

    Legal risk, cutting losses and preemptive move in effort to manage oncoming suit threats.
