I just sent an e-mail to the news director at KREX TV in Grand Junction. The subject was the news story KREX has been running since Monday regarding layoffs at Halliburton Industries.
On Monday, the news reader quoted Halliburton blaming the nationwide layoffs on "market forces"…which is true.
This morning, they ran the story again. Only this time, the newsreader said the layoffs were caused by SB 181…which is a bald-faced lie. I guess they didn't stop to ask themselves how a Colorado law could affect jobs in Wyoming, New Mexico, and other states
I await a response from the news director. I will update as things happen…or not.
And the right-wingers want so badly to be lied to. It comforts them — or something.
Update…
I received a response from the news director at KREX. He said the communications director at Halliburton changed the press release and when challenged by KREX refused to explain, simply sending out more copies of the altered press release.
This is typical of OilyBoyz mendacity.
Good on you for challenging their BS, Duke. This time, it helped.
Duke,
Ask the news director if they reported how the “corrected'' news release came about. If not, why not?
He said they did that on the evening news last night, but I did not watch it. He said Halliburton wouldn't return calls on the matter.
And Cory Gardner reposted it to whine about SB 181
You a funny, funny man Mr., Duke.
Funnnee!
😌
Duke – a great piece by John Fullerton on the issue:
"We're Done!" How's that for a Purpose Statement?
For the occasion of Dana Loesch’s appearance on the CU campus, I have a ticket but I will not be attending. My absence is my protest against her and her message. I hope that the room is empty.
I have no doubt that part of her screed will include the declaration that the right to bear arms is ‘fundamental’ but she will have glossed over the fact that the 2010 SCOTUS ruling that she relies on was decided by only one vote; hardly sufficient support for anything to be declared to be ‘fundamental’.
The forces of nature such as gravitation are ‘fundamental’. The speed of light is ‘fundamental’. The right to bear arms is temporary. It is subject to a poll of a designated group of humans at a specific point in time. But even its temporary nature has paved the way for years of propaganda from gun lobbyists and manufacturers and has enabled their outsized profits. In line with its temporary nature, it will eventually be overturned by yet another poll of fallible humans and the industry will lose its protections from liability; the lobbyists and propagandists such as Loesch will move on to their next grift.
Loesch demeans the term when she attaches it to her own cause, but SCOTUS is the source of that sellout. I suggest that Loesch turn her focus to the truly fundamental needs of clean air, clean water and a safe food. Her bullets are neither on the menu, nor are they ‘fundamental’.
👍👍
For those who care, even Justice Scalia, writing in the 5-4 majority, was not an absolutist gun nut. His opinion, available online at https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/07-290.ZO.html, includes:
It was Alito who labeled RKBA as 'fundamental'.
Beyer dissented and wrote:
"In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense. There has been, and is, no consensus that the right is, or was, 'fundamental.'
Alito was apparently given to misplaced fundamentalist grandiosity. Beyer was much more grounded in reality and reason.
Yes, Newt, we remember those (good ol’) days: a House (then) run by a (now) convicted pedophile while you were playing hide the sausage with your staffer (future wife number three, current Ambassador to the Vatican) while married to wife number 2.
And be sure you don't miss today's news in the corrupt world of Trump and Giuliani . . .
They were arrested on their way out of the US.
More cracks in the dam…
Why does everyone in this state forget how to drive in the snow after the summer is over?
They didn't foreget – they never knew in the first place.
AWD doesn't really help stop
If you stop on snow/ice- it will take a while longer to get started
following distance should increase
Your headlights may not help you see- they help you be more visible
torque is useless
My wife always says 4-or AWD just helps you get stuck in more interesting places.
A similar joke amongst us pilots when arguing single engine v. twin engine: the second engine generally only takes you to the scene of the accident.
Lots of people refuse to learn that 4W drive does not equal 4W stop.
Legal weed.
. . . or maybe something else? I dunno’; I forget . . .
Uh, guys?
Trump adviser gives conflicting accounts on whether Chinese offered information about Hunter Biden
Please someone turn off the news hose.
Oops.
In Putin’s endless quest to make the US the laughingstock of the world (while also bolstering Russia’s economy and territory), Lindsay Graham was an unwitting (maybe) accomplice.
Back in August, two Russians prank-called Senator Graham, and got him to say on tape that the Kurds were a “threat” to Turkey. Graham also teased the callers about Trump’s interest in a gold trader’s corruption case, which Turkish President Erdogan wanted Trump to intervene on. Rachel Maddow featured the Turkish corruption case on her 10/9/18 show. It was part of why Tillerson was fired.
So of course , following the phone call, Lindsay immediately notified the FBI about a possible quid pro quo and that people were soliciting the President’s intervention, right?
Nyet .
And Graham continues to blather about sanctions and how those darn Turks better watch their step.
Others encourage Senator Graham to take advantage of National Coming Out Day , so that whatever “kompromat” Putin is using loses its power.
Sure hope Jaime Harrison, Lindsay’s likely Dem opponent in 2020, continues to keep the pressure on
