CNBC Cancels Shepard Smith's News Show two years after he dramatically quit Fox News


Quote:
CNBC has canceled Shepard Smith's evening news show two years after he abruptly quit Fox News for a fresh start.

The news outlet announced the cancellation of the former Fox News veteran journalist's show on Thursday - two years after Smith joined CNBC in the fall of 2020.

Smith started his career at CNBC with his own non-partisan show that aired Wednesdays at 7pm EST called The News with Shepard Smith.

The 56-year-old was previously at Fox since 1996 until he dramatically left after 23 years in 2019.

KC Sullivan, who is now head of CNBC after replacing Mark Hoffman earlier this year, told staff that he wants to shift direction toward 'business news.'

'After spending time with many of you and closely reviewing the carious aspects of our business, I believe we must prioritize and focus on our core strengths of business news and personal finance,' Sullivan wrote.

'To that end, we have decided that The News with Shepard Smith will have its final newscast later this month.'

NYT

Good morning. A drop in murders this year exemplifies the kind of news story that can get relatively little attention.


Quote:

Good news in 2022
At the start of this year, America’s crime trends looked grim: Murders had spiked at a record speed in 2020 and increased further in 2021.

But now that the year is ending, it’s clear that the violence has eased.

Murders in large U.S. cities are down more than 5 percent so far in 2022 compared to the same time last year, according to the research firm AH Datalytics. Gun deaths, injuries and mass shootings are also down this year.

What happened? To regular readers of this newsletter, the explanations may be familiar: The causes of the murder spike have receded.

Covid disrupted much of life in 2020 and 2021, including social services that help keep people safe. That applies not just to policing, but also to places like schools and addiction treatment facilities that can help people — especially young men, the more common perpetrators and victims of violent crime — stay out of trouble. As life slowly returns to normal, these programs have reopened and helped suppress murders and shootings.

We also have additional distance from the murder of George Floyd in 2020, an event that not only spawned widespread protests but also strained police-community trust across the U.S.

How did the fallout from the horror of Floyd’s death tie into murder trends? Because those police-community tensions may have reduced law enforcement’s effectiveness by, for example, making people more skeptical of working with the police and leading officers to be too cautious in fighting crime. And the public’s loss of confidence in the police may have led more people to resolve conflicts through their own means, including violence, instead of through the justice system. The passage of time and efforts to repair trust have diminished those effects.

There is also a more abstract explanation: Covid, Floyd’s death, the 2020 election, the Jan. 6 attack and other events have made the past few years feel chaotic, damaging social cohesion and trust in institutions. Some experts argue that this kind of anomie can lead to more crime and violence. But at least some of it has lessened along with the pandemic and protests.

Add it all up, and Americans are now a bit safer from murders and shootings than they were last year.

Bad news bias
The drop in murders is genuinely good news — the kind that often goes unreported. Think about how many headlines you have seen about the rise in murders compared to stories about the subsequent decline.

That gap demonstrates another point that regular readers of this newsletter will be familiar with: The news media tends to have a bad news bias. Some of that is driven by journalists’ decisions, hence the old cliché that if it bleeds, it leads. Studies also suggest that negativity gets a bigger audience, so journalists are, to some extent, giving readers what they want.

That bias warps people’s perceptions of the world. As rates of murders and other crimes plummeted from the 1990s to mid-2010s, news outlets regularly covered shocking individual crimes, and a majority of Americans told Gallup that crime was trending upward. (Most Americans still say crime is up.)

There are still reasons for caution. Data from this year suggested other kinds of crime, besides murders and shootings, might have increased in 2022. Murders are still higher than they were in 2019. And it’s possible the trends reported in large cities don’t apply to the entire country (although they have in recent years).

But the data we do have suggests the country’s murder and shooting rates are heading in the right direction. As the year comes to a close, it’s good news you can celebrate.

where do right wingers get their news well Fux news of course and where does Fux trust, well people who claim to time travel and have had their heads decapitated so they claim.

Fox News got some of its information on "election fraud" allegations against Dominion Voting Systems from a woman who claims she got the information through a form of "time travel," the election equipment company's lawsuit alleges.


This detail of the Dominion lawsuit was first flagged by NBC News' Ben Collins on Thursday, as part of a segment Dominion highlighted between pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who was communicating with her and amplifying her message on her program.

"Powell's source ... explained that she gets her information from experiencing something 'like time-travel in a semi-conscious state,' allowing her to 'see what others don't see, and hear what others don't hear,' and she received messages from 'the wind,'" stated the lawsuit.

"Bartiromo read this email at the time: she responded to Powell saying she had shared this 'very imp[ortant] info' with Eric Trump," the complaint continued.

Sidney Powell cited woman who claimed to be headless, time-traveling entity in email pushing election conspiracy theories

Trump-allied lawyer Sidney Powell sent Fox an email full of wild claims from a woman claiming to be a decapitated time-traveler, according to a recent court filing.

Excerpts of the message formed part of a filing from Dominion Voting Systems released on Thursday in its defamation case against Fox.

Dominion said that Powell forwarded the email to Fox personality Maria Bartiromo in November 2020, and informed Bartiromo that she'd received "evidence" about voter fraud.

This was before Powell appeared on the November 8, 2020, edition of Bartiromo's Fox Business show, "Sunday Morning Futures."

The lawyers for Dominion did not name the writer of the email, which had the subject "Election Fraud Info."

But they included excerpts in which the source claimed Dominion was to blame for election irregularities, and also described herself as "internally decapitated."

for January. And it's very strong. It's certainly stronger than

One particularly odd section deals with how the source claims to have gotten her information. It says:


"Who am I? And how do I know all of this?...I've had the strangest dreams since I was a little girl....I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live....The Wind tells me I'm a ghost, but I don't believe it."

At another point she described herself as being able to "time-travel in a semi-conscious state."


The evidence is meant to support Dominion's allegation that Fox and its executives knew the claims its hosts and guests were making about the election were false, but let them push unsubstantiated information anyway. The company is alleging that Fox defamed Dominion in its reporting, and is seeking $1.6 billion in damages.

Bartiromo said during her deposition for the case that she was aware of the email, and called it "nonsense," per Dominion's filing.

During that November 8 appearance neither Powell nor Bartiromo mentioned the email, but gave credence to the allegation that election fraud was taking place and Dominion was helping.

Powell opened her segment by making unsubstantiated claims about "a massive and coordinated effort" to "steal" the 2020 election. She didn't cite the email, or indeed any specific source, to back herself up.

She also baselessly claimed during the show that "computers" were used to "manufacture votes for Joe Biden."

"We need an audit of all the computer systems that played any role in this fraud whatsoever," Powell said. Bartiromo did not correct Powell, or ask for proof of these claims on air.

Separately, Dominion Voting Systems is also suing Powell and her fellow Trump allies, Rudy Giuliani, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, for defamation. The company is asking for $1.3 billion in damages, alleging that the trio pushed a slew of baseless voter fraud claims that hurt its business.

Powell did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. But a spokesperson for Fox responded to Insider and characterized Dominion's filing as "noise and confusion." The Fox spokesperson also accused Dominion of cherry-picking quotes from evidence in its filing.

Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

notice how the owners of the other media will tell people to lay off right wingers.

NBC told Chenk Uber sp of young turks when sitting in for a a msnbc host he had ratings in 1 quarter beating Fux in the critical age group of younger people, so they brought him in and asked him to tone it down because right wing business owners did not like him. yet the audience obviously did.

Here we have similar.https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/jimmy-kimmel-was-told-by-abc-to-tone-down-his-comedy-about-a-certain-person-but-the-host-threatened-to-quit-instead-and-got-his-way/ar-AA18nt1j?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=b99d8b8cedef4bc4bd386823a4c1e88f&ei=15

remember how the bush people got the NYT to champion these lies with CIA?right wing plant Judith Miller cheerleading the lies.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/george-w-bush-misrepresented-our-work-at-cia-to-sell-the-iraq-invasion-it-s-time-to-call-him-what-he-is-a-liar/ar-AA18ShLb?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=f92f53b30c904b6edc8a7f488a8edc96&ei=15

George W. Bush misrepresented our work at CIA to sell the Iraq invasion. It's time to call him what he is: 'A liar.'


Quote:
Two former CIA officials spoke to Insider before the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. They gave a firsthand account of the George W. Bush administration's attempts to misrepresent intelligence and assert a connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda. In fact, the evidence assembled by the CIA suggested that no such connection existed.

One of these false connections was a supposed meeting that had occurred between Mohamed Atta, the chief 9/11 hijacker, and Iraqi intelligence agents in Prague. In December 2001, then-Vice President Dick Cheney went on "Meet the Press" and falsely claimed that the meeting was "pretty well confirmed." A 2003 CIA cable states that "not one" official within the US government had evidence that the Prague meeting actually happened. Nevertheless, it became a key part of the administration's public case for launching the Iraq invasion on March 20, 2003, a conflict that would cost an estimated 300,000 lives.


The officials' combined years of service at CIA totals up to more than four decades. Their identities are known to Insider, and are referred to below by pseudonyms due to the sensitivity of their positions. Their discussion has been edited for brevity.

Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby, and John McLaughlin did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
