ABC’s ‘Pink Slime’ Report Tied to $177 Million in Settlement Costs - The New York Times
ABC’s ‘Pink Slime’ Report Tied to $177 Million in Settlement Costs - The New York Times:
"The Walt Disney Company said in its latest quarterly financial statement that it had $177 million in costs related to settling litigation.
The announcement came just weeks after ABC News, a Disney unit, reached a settlement with a meat producer that accused the network of defamation for its reports about so-called pink slime, a processed beef product used as low-cost filler.
...on Thursday, Dan K. Webb, a lawyer who represented Beef Products in the trial, said the settlement was higher.
“As Disney disclosed, $177 million is not the total settlement amount.
Based on Disney’s disclosure, it appears that Disney is funding $177 million of the settlement and its insurers are paying the rest,” he said in a statement emailed by a spokesman.
...Beef Products said a report in 2012 by Jim Avila, an ABC News correspondent, misled consumers about the safety of the product, which is officially known as “lean finely textured beef.”
The company had sought $1.9 billion in damages, but the figure could have grown to as much as $5.7 billion under a South Dakota law..."

Joan of Arc statue in French Quarter tagged with 'Tear It Down' graffiti | NOLA.com
The phrase "Tear it Down" was hastily sprayed in black paint across the base of the golden Joan of Arc statue on Decatur Street in the French Quarter sometime earlier this week. It has since been removed, with only the vaguest traces of the paint remaining.
The "Tear it Down" tag would seem to relate to the debate surrounding the city's ongoing removal of four Confederate monuments.
But the statue of Joan of Arc, a 15th-century military leader, martyr and Catholic saint, hasn't been mentioned in the controversy to this point..."

Red Cross donations discouraged by left-wing activists - Washington Times
Red Cross donations discouraged by left-wing activists - Washington Times:
"Activists are discouraging Hurricane Harvey donors from giving to the American Red Cross and urging them instead to contribute to left-wing causes, some of which are advocacy groups engaged in little if any emergency relief work.
Linda Sarsour, a prominent Muslim and feminist activist, sent out a tweet encouraging donors to give to the Texas Organizing Project Education Fund, which conducts “direct action organizing, grass-roots lobbying and electoral organizing led by working families in Texas.”"

'The new Obama': will Abdul El-Sayed be America's first Muslim governor?
'The new Obama': will Abdul El-Sayed be America's first Muslim governor?
...If El-Sayed wins, he will be the first Muslim governor in US history.
... El-Sayed’s résumé and progressive bonafides are nearly impeccable.
He is a Rhodes Scholar, a doctor, formerly a professor at an Ivy League university (where he wrote the textbook for his class) and is the former director for the health department in Detroit, the youngest in any major city.
He’s only 32 years old, and would be the youngest governor since Bill Clinton in 1978.
He will also become a father for the first time in less than three months.
He has pledged to take no corporate Pac money and is unabashedly disdainful of big money influencing elections, calling corporate campaign contributions “bribes”.
He has pledged universal healthcare to all Michiganders if it fails on the federal level, says he will push to legalize marijuana and says he will raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and make Michigan a “sanctuary state”: as a spokesman puts it, he is “unwilling to waste state taxpayer money to enforce federal law that would rob small businesses of hardworking employees and tear apart families”.
And he has a real chance of winning..."

SCOTT ADAMS: The Magical Thinking Opposition.
“My hypothesis is that the political side that is out of power is the one that hallucinates the most – and needs to – in order to keep their worldview intact.”
This reminds me of Jane’s Law: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”
Truer today than it was in 2004. But when Dems are hallucinating, their craziness is amplified by the media."
