Musk vs. mainstream media

 Teri Christoph:

...

It all started with a five-word tweet from Musk:


Everyone but the Jim VandeHeis of the world knew what Musk was saying: more truth and information can be found in one citizen journalist's iPhone video than in much of the "reporting" done by well-funded outlets like Axios. Distrust in the media is at an all-time high because they have debased themselves for decades while in service to the Democrat Party.

Musk's comments about us all being "the media now" clearly caused much garment-rending and teeth-gnashing by the media, as evidenced by VandeHei's comments while accepting a lifetime achievement last week at the National Press Club. He was irked.
...

 The mainstream media largely did this to itself.  It has always had two streams of revenue.  Advertising is the one that brings in the most money and subscriptions the least.  It actually reduced the number of eyes on its product when it started making it harder for social media to discuss its content.  As its content was seen to be more liberal than the public it got even fewer eyes on it.  X on the other hand is open to anyone who has a phone or a computer.  It should be noted that the more liberal the content the fewer people find it interesting.  That is why Fox is outperforming CBS.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
