Why are hostile states hostile? You want to turn the question of state media credibility into one about whether those states have good reason to be hostile in the first place?
No, i don't really fancy changing the topic so you can wax lyrical about the evils of the west instead.
Media entirely controlled by a state that deploys nerve-agents on civilians in the streets of my country, or shoots down passenger planes, is not trustworthy. I don't care if apologists argue they have good geopolitical reasons to oppose the US. The complete untrustworthiness of imperialist propaganda remains.
To whitewash ethnic cleansing is to be a shitstain.
To you, i suppose it all depends on what colour flag the perpetrators wave.

Seeing as he's likely going to try run for president, judging from the tectonic movements very wealthy interests around keep unsutbly being made, might as well get acquainted with his item description. (You ever notice Vance has that distinct desperate "thirst" observable in people like Pete Buttigieg, Slothkin, Josh Shapiro and Ron Desantis to obtain power - as in like happily eating shit as long as it gets them close to power, will regularly cycle through impersonations seeing what works best, the same for policy constantly trying to find ways to keep themselves within the public's attention spans despite an inability or unwillingness to read the room. Admittedly seeing Pete embrace the variety' showcase extravaganza approach to his public interviews had it's own entertainment factor,,But Pete.... it doesn't matter what your aesthetic is, it's your appeasement of corporate interests and neocolonail projects doing actual genocide! A new handlebar biker tash ain't gonna change that!)
Those are the wrong way round chronologically< in case the "b sides" slipped unnoticed lol
You know who's not got a thirst, drive or even chance of running for president?:
The Vice President of the United States and his wife Usha are expecting their fourth baby, setting an apparent example for their fellow natalists. But just how intertwined is JD Vance with the natalist movement overall and what does it have to do with Usha’s new podcast about children’s books? This week, June and Josh dig into JD Vance’s history with conservatism and Catholicism to try to figure it out. **WANT MORE ILL CONCEIVED?

Specifically, whenever someone suggests that knowing which consultants are involved with which games because their perceived impact on previous titles could be helpful in considering future titles, the typical response is that those consultants have no impact on the work whatsoever and thus wanting to know if they've been involved with a title is meaningless at best and possibly actively bigoted depending on which consultants.
Which goes back to if they have no impact, why are you hiring them? Even more so, why are you hiring them for more than one title? If the argument is that it's a form of QC, that in turn suggests that anyone hiring them is likely to want to conform to the sort of things they are likely to have input on, which makes you hiring them indicative of something about the title, which negates the entire argument about it being meaningless to care if they're involved.

Which I do believe is just to be able to say that they did. In a society measured by blame more than praise, it is more important to say you took every reasonable step to avoid whichever fault than it is to do something proactively good.
Way better than stupid and pointless things like "helping citizens" or "funding Army training", am I right?Honestly, good. Best use of tax payer money by this admin yet

Absolutely, as an American citizen your only right is to create value for your betters. If you want to matter, either become wealthy and/or a politician. Otherwise, know your place.
so giving tax money to sometimes literal traitors? Good to know Trump has his priorities in orderHonestly, good. Best use of tax payer money by this admin yetJustice Department announces a $1.7B fund to compensate Trump allies in a deal to drop IRS suit

That fund is being set up in the DOJ's judgment fund, which pays out settlements and court decisions from the government. That fund is not limited, it pays whatever is owed, no matter the amount. If it were pure corruption, they could just settle court cases with people they like with big payouts indefinitely. This fund puts both an upper limit and a 2 year deadline on the money. As far as stealing from the government for personal benefit, this is strictly worse than just using the existing systems.
Nothing should be owed to the complete ghouls of MAGA, of jan 6 and of Trumps cronies. They should be compensating the state rather than the other way around.
Except of course that beforehand, these people wouldn't have been able to recieve money from the judgement fund, because they don't have settlements in their favour. The fund gives them access to $1.7bn of public money they wouldn't have otherwise been able to get, and shouldn't be entitled to.
You didn't read it... The article states that we don't even know if inverters from different manufacturers can be used on the same grid. You guys think everything is just so simple and to throw money at everything and it just magically works.
So what? Use the ones that work. Your article states clearly that inverters allow renewables to be integrated. Its actually very positive about the tech.
Dozens of countries use renewables, integrated into their grids just fine. That's already the reality right now. Its not even terribly costly; its a great deal cheaper than the fossil fuel industry, which haemorrhages power and requires the companies to be subsidised at public expense.
If it's pure corruption, they could just make settlements in their favor. It's a logical contradiction to think doing this circumvents a limitation that only exists if they aren't circumventing limitations.
We will ultimately see how this shakes out, but I would not be surprised to find out this was sold by the Justice department to Trump's people to get him to settle while giving him nothing he didn't already have.
No: it would only be a logical contradiction if the other approach you describe ("just make settlements in their favour") was just as available, just as easy, and subject to the same (or fewer) restrictions.
But its not. The judgement fund as it stands requires individual settlements, legal processes. Not so here: we have instead a five-man panel, subject to Trump's approval, to allocate at whim. The order states money can be used for facilities, staff, travel, "administrative services". That it is not subject to US safeguarding or oversight rules.
A plaintiff went against a defendant that he himself controlled, and came away with a $1.7bn slush fund for political allies. Its one of the most spectacularly brazen examples of corruption, and I expect that even you're a little embarrassed by it. Reportedly even congressional Republicans are.

A couple of lawyers, those they represent, and a member of the judicial branch, i expect.
What, are you going to argue that a panel of political appointees making allocations at whim, without judicial process or oversight, is the same as settlements?
