Why X is more dominant than 'mainstream' media

 Red State:

...

(Catherine) Herridge said there was "no question that X was the platform with the greatest reach."

“The data doesn’t lie,” she said as she explained how she'd take the "30 million engagements on @X versus 4.5 million “viewers” on Network Evening News" because "@X is where the growth is. That's where the diverse audience is."

“I feel like this is the next chapter for media,” she said, summing up the whole issue.

Indeed, she proves it herself with her own trajectory. That's why she's there on X, rather than signing up for another network news job after her parting ways from CBS. And she's still calling out CBS for not releasing the transcript of the interview that "60 Minutes" did with Kamala.

Musk helped make it all possible by freeing X more and encouraging independent media. With X, he's then able to immediately weigh in on what Herridge said. With X, you can see the videos and you can see the story without having to be filtered through the spin of the MSM media. You can have millions of people immediately viewing something. You can decide what you think about it all by yourself.

There's no longer control of the narrative, and that's what they truly fear.
...

It has the greatest reach because it is not just targeting liberals the way much of the mainstream media does.  X allows conservative content too and both liberal and conservative content are close to 50-50 available.  It is much closer to free speech.  I find it a much more interesting site than it was before Musk bought and freed up the material.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. 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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
