And in other dumbass MAGA idiocy, Greta van Susteren, she who is so bereft of any integrity that even Faux Noise dispensed of her (she apparently is at (Not)Newsmax now!), was almost orgasmic regarding the jury nullification that wasn't.

Thankfully, TwitX was quick to burst her bubble, including Adam Kinzinger.

I see nothing has changed since Sinclair started doing this back in 2017.

I remember the 2017 piece on Sinclair done by nytimes

and especially this 2017 piece on Sinclair by John Oliver

As of today June 12, twitter(x) has made all "likes" private.
So you can't check to see what sorts of tweets a politician or celebrity or anyone likes.

What flashed on the screen was basically an invitation to click a "like" on creepy people/ideas and nobody will know.

SPOILERS: He was never going to long-term, but now he definitely won't.

I recommend reading the full free article above. It is absolutely damning. The Times smelled blood and went for it.

 

In other less political news, the deeply amoral creeps at Puck (who have tried and failed to launder Will Lewis' reputation in recent weeks) nonetheless have an interesting piece on the failed Paramount/Skydance merger, however biased it may be. It also links back to one of the soapiest, most deranged IRL twists I ever heard and one daytime should snap up, in which a software exec involved in the merger's jilted ex once put up a billboard of the two of them in Times Square.

Over the years, there have been are so many intriguing stories worthy of quality soap opera storylines, if only the HW of those struggling daytime soaps would pick up a friggin’ newspaper and read. You cannot convince me that those people read with the sh*tty stories they tell.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
