There’s a word mainstream news organizations default to when massaging inconvenient truths about political candidates they sympathetically embrace: “complicated.”
From Abdul El-Sayed and Ilhan Omar to Kamala Harris and Bill Clinton, a look at one of corporate media’s favorite euphemisms.
Donald Trump picked a fight with Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy picked one with Ford Motor Co.
Neither Ford responded by lying down.
The power of standing up to bullies.
Canadians have focused their trade anger on President Trump. They’d be wise to also consider their treatment by General Motors.
Uncle Sam’s national debt surpassed $40 trillion in recent days, and America now spends more servicing that debt than it does on national defense. History shows that many once-great empires collapsed after debt service eclipsed defense spending.
What should alarm and anger everyday Americans are the bipartisan policies responsible for this crushing debt and how the wealthiest Americans ultimately benefit.
Remember #MeToo?
A New York Times investigation found that female lawyers representing Uber questioned women suing the company over alleged sexual assaults about their clothing, drinking, childhood trauma, sexual histories, and even whether they were wearing underwear on the night they were assaulted.
The executive ultimately responsible for Uber’s legal strategy is Tony West, the former senior Obama Justice Department official who oversaw the DOJ’s Office on Violence Against Women and later played an influential role in Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.
Ignorance is bliss. Otherwise, more Americans might be alarmed to learn how General Motors became dependent on the state-controlled Chinese automaker it once taught to build world-class vehicles.
How many flies are buzzing around the Oval Office walls? Apparently enough to reconstruct top-secret meetings, presidential frustrations, and internal debates in remarkable detail.
The more alarming question is why corporate journalistic curiosity is so selective.
Perhaps Mary Barra deserves her nearly $30 million annual compensation after all. Name another CEO who has successfully played two U.S. presidents to her company’s advantage.
Israel’s intelligence operations may be brilliant, but its political and communications judgment is astonishingly naïve.
Corporate America has spent more than $4.8 trillion buying back its own stock since 2018.
CEOs say buybacks signal confidence because they believe their companies’ shares are undervalued.
Then why are so many executives selling their own stock while their companies are buying it?
