Warren Buffett [...] the United States shouldn’t use ‘trade as a weapon’ and anger the rest of the world. Said Buffett (of Donald Trump): “It’s a big mistake in my view when you have 7.5 billion people who don’t like you very well, and you have 300 million who are crowing about how they have done.”

OUR WORLD:
.... imagine a luncheon at the Harvard Club featuring a billionaire hedge funder, a movie producer, a Harvard professor and a writer for The New York Times.

“The billionaire says, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if middle school kids had free access to sex-change therapy paid for by the federal government?’” Baehr said. “Well, the filmmaker says, ‘I’d love to do a documentary on that; it will be a major motion film.’ The Harvard professor says, ‘We can do studies on that to say that’s absolutely biologically sound and safe.’ And the New York Times person says, ‘I’ll profile people who feel trapped in the wrong gender.’

Seitdem ich aufgehört habe, ein #NewsJunkie zu sein und auf wöchentliche Newsformate umgestiegen bin, finde ich den satirischen #Podcast #MaurerUndCik eine tolle Berecherung.

Die thematisieren #Politik genauso wie manche skurrile Meldungen aus der #Chronik. Und die #KleineZeitung (der Podcast kommt von denen) wird plötzlich dadurch cooler.

Mir taugt's.

As a #newsjunkie, it defies #sensemaking.

Recently, ABC changed the name of their early morning news show from ATM to Good Morning America First Look.

This is a show that I watch regularly. There's also an earlier version with a different name, but with the same reporters.

First off, the original name ATM seemed ill-conceived. It was an acronym when it didn't need to be one. It stood for America This Morning. Course ATM conjures up other meanings. For me, I always wanted to associate it with At This Moment.

Sure acronyms are used when you're limited on characters or don't want to tap out the full words. It's favored by a younger generation-- but really how many young people are watching network news? ...especially at 4:30am?

The name First Look is a bit lame, but at least they spelled it out instead of going with FL. It's too bad they didn't go with Early Morning instead, but perhaps that's been used elsewhere.

I just finished watching Rachel #Maddow's documentary:

From Russia with Lev

If you're a #NewsJunkie like me, you'll be amazed how this film ties just about every scandal during the T**** Admin together and how much #Ukraine plays a part.

Lev Parnas, a #Zelig like character from #Ukraine, manages to get in good with the T**** Campaign by being a high roller mega-donor.

It play out like a Mob Movie where the rich & powerful mix with the politically powerful. #MustSeeTV
