  • Russian Soldiers Beg For Shotguns To Combat FPV Drones
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 01:17 PM

    Ukraine estimates that over half of all Russian casualties are due to small, cheap FPV drones are just modified consumer items. Last year, Russian radio jammers often brought them down, to the point that Ukraine was losing upwards of 10,000 a month. Since then, the technology has advanced and their jammers don't work anymore.

  • How Rudy Giuliani Changed - And Destroyed His Timeline
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 09:11 AM

    A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Rudy Giuliani was not only respected, but revered as "America's Mayor." The hero of 9/11 (which he'd tell you every other sentence). He never deserved any of it, of course. He was always a nasty piece of work, a philanderer, racist and, frankly, an asshole who couldn't get along with anyone.

  • Greedflation Comes From Monopolies, Period
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 09:11 AM

    Progressive policy experts took aim at corporate greed and profiteering during a Thursday U. S. Senate hearing on "shrinkflation," the process of reducing the size or quantity of a product while selling it at the same price. At the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs hearing—entitled "Higher Prices: How Shrinkflation and Technology Can Impact Consumers' Finances"—Chair Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) began by acknowledging that "prices today are far too high, and families are having a harder time finding a fair price, seeing more of their paycheck vanish into thin air." "All of this is happening while corporate profits hit record highs," the senator continued.

  • Hey Katy Tur: It's Called The Right Wing Echo Chamber, Not 'Media Silos'
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 09:11 AM

    MSNBC's Katy Tur and Axios' Jim VandeHei managed to have a very long conversation about the effects of right wing propaganda without ever mentioning the words right wing propaganda. I guess I should quit being astounded by stuff like this, but it continues to amaze me how people in our corporate news media dance around naming just who exactly is responsible for turning most Republicans' brains into mush. Here's the transcript of the beginning of their exchange from her show this Thursday, and notice the words that aren't used here.
