Colorado has joined a federal lawsuit against mega-promoter Live Nation Entertainment along with nearly 30 other states, Attorney General Phil Weiser said Thursday, alleging a ticketing and booking monopoly that has harmed consumers. The long-expected lawsuit, for which the U.S. Justice Department has been laying groundwork ever since the Taylor Swift ticket debacle in 2022, comes in the wake of record-high average ticket prices and complaints about bots and scalpers — and as the concert industry has roared back over the last three years with record revenue. Now, the U.S.

  • Greg Gutfeld Projects Next Level MAGA Propaganda
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 06/20/2024 - 10:00 AM

    The Five host Greg Gutfeld claimed that Fox News is held to a higher standard of journalistic ethics and always vets its stories. HAHAHAHHAHAHHA You know, where were these anti-hoaxers when there was the fine people hoax, the drinking bleach hoax, the koi pod hoax, the migrant kids in cages hoax, the border patrol whipping migrants hoax, the lab leak is a conspiracy theory hoax, the Russian collusion hoax, the don't say gay bill hoax, did I leave any? The pee tape hoax. Where were they? There's a difference. When we see something, we vet it. The media does not because they're the engine behind their hoaxes. As long as they go in one direction, the Dems and the media are lucky. We don't match their dishonesty. This is some real Goebbels-level propaganda. Transfer all the lies, conspiracies, hoaxes, and phony crimes that Fox News perpetuates on their airwaves to every other news outlet that refuses to glorify the convicted felon. Then claim you are white as the virgin snow.
