Do you cretins not understand how grateful you are to only have the jobs report be off by 500,000? This is worth no mean tweets!

They forgot "unexpectedly." A loss of jobs always occurs "unexpectedly." It's like COVID (or previously GWOT) deaths always being a "grim milestone." It's required by the AP style guide.

Well yeah. mRNA immunotherapy for cancer has been a research topic for, I don't know, 20 years?

Biden aims to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over next 25 years​

https://apnews.com/article/coronavi...nion-address-122f2d0782a30d7cf766f2892fc5962a (https://archive.ph/8O86S)

President Joe Biden is committing to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% — a new goal for the “moonshot” initiative against the disease that was announced in 2016 when he was vice president.

Biden has set a 25-year timeline for achieving that goal, part of his broader effort to end cancer as we know it, according to senior administration officials who previewed Wednesday’s announcement on the condition of anonymity.

The issue is deeply personal for Biden: He lost his elder son, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015.

The pain experienced by the president is shared by many Americans. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths this year. What Biden is aiming to do is essentially save more than 300,000 lives annually from the disease, something the administration believes is possible because the age-adjusted death rate has already fallen by roughly 25% over the past two decades.

Biden was scheduled to give remarks Wednesday from the East Room of the White House, along with his wife, Jill, and Vice President Kamala Harris. Also scheduled to attend the speech: members of Congress and the administration and about 100 members of the cancer community including patients, survivors, caregivers, families, advocacy groups and research organizations.

As part of the effort, Biden will assemble a “cancer Cabinet” that includes 18 federal departments, agencies and offices, including leaders from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy and Agriculture.

There were no plans to announce new funding commitments on Wednesday, though the administration will outline why it believes it can curb cancer through efforts such as increased screening and removing inequities in treatment. The coronavirus pandemic has consumed health care resources and caused people to miss more than 9.5 million cancer screenings.

The White House also will host a summit on the cancer initiative and continue a roundtable discussion series on the subject. The goal is to improve the quality of treatment and people’s lives, something with deep economic resonance as well. The National Cancer Institute reported in October that the economic burden of treatment was more than $21 billion in 2019, including $16.22 billion in patient out-of-pocket costs.

President Barack Obama announced the cancer program during his final full year in office and secured $1.8 billion over seven years to fund research. Obama designated Biden, then his vice president, as “mission control,” a recognition of Biden’s grief as a parent and desire to do something about it. Biden wrote in his memoir “Promise Me, Dad” that he chose not to run for president in 2016 primarily because of Beau’s death.

When Biden announced he wasn’t seeking the Democratic nomination in 2016, he said he regretted not being president because “I would have wanted to have been the president who ended cancer, because it’s possible.”

The effort fell somewhat out of the public focus when Donald Trump became president, though Trump, a Republican, proposed $500 million over 10 years for pediatric cancer research in his 2019 State of the Union address.

Biden continued the work as a private citizen by establishing the Biden Cancer Initiative to help organize resources to improve cancer care. When Biden did seek the presidency in 2020, he had tears in his eyes as he said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “Beau should be running for president, not me.”

Dear Brandon,

Please, for the love of God, shut your fucking waste-dump of a mouth. Y'aint gonna do shit against cancer. You'll be just as ineffective, if not more so, than you were against COVID. I hope you re-live Beau's death in your mind for the rest of your time on this earth.

Fuck you,
An Actual Cancer Survivor

Good. They can miserably stay inside their homes, with only their Funko Pops for company, while us normal people get the fuck on with life. No one will miss you, Branch Covidian faggots.

He didn’t specify in his resignation letter but the affair was with Allison Gollust, CNN’s chief marketing officer. She’s still working there.

CNN continues to be a dumpster fire. Again, good. That's what you get for crawling into bed with Sleepy Joe to give him "political analysis" (YOU GOOD, DRUMPF BAD).

Well I'm just saying if the secret service joined up with a group protesting the President and his policies, that would be the equivalent here in the US. Again, I'm not trying to tar the Canadian truckers by comparing them to the proud boys. It was a clumsy comparison on my part, I admit.

What are people's thoughts on Zuckers' resignation? Does it hint at anything larger?

Fun fact about Allison Gollust, by the way: she was Andrew Cuomo’s communications director before moving to CNN. Stare into the void, and the void stares back at you.

It hints that CNN's ratings have cratered to the point that they routinely can't even get 1 million people watching their shows, and ginning up a workplace misconduct issue from damn near a decade ago is a good way to force him out while saving face and not admitting there's a deeper problem.

Makes sense...

There is no possibility that CNN will try to correct itself, right?

This is their attempt to correct. The problem is, the shitty people at the top who put them in the hole are the ones who hired the people under them, now trying to correct course. They don't know fuck all about what 'correct' looks like, just the indoctrination they worked under.

What suggests this?
Click to expand...
Poaching Chris Wallace from Fox News after firing Cuomo suggests a slight change in direction (especially considering the rest of CNN, particularly Brian Stelter, have "Fox News did a thing and it's killing Democracy" as the majority of their coverage). They have utterly collapsed in ratings with Trump out of office (down 81%) and catering to TDS obsessives was Zucker's idea. Like I said earlier, they rarely can get a show to crack 1 million viewers, so unless Warner Media just likes the idea of burning a pile of money for spastic propaganda nobody actually listens to, it is time for a change.
And there's an excellent opportunity for a rebrand, since they're about to release their own streaming service (ugh) and can change the tone of the channel to something that might get people to watch. Whether that means they return to being milquetoast centrists who differentiated themselves from the two partisan channels by pushing lowest common denominator sleaze stories (think stuff like talking about MH370 disappearing as "breaking news" for three months straight back in the day), or they find something else to draw in an audience remains to be seen.

Oh, yeah. Believe me some people won’t leave their houses again. One of my friend’s old coworkers is one of them. She apparently threatened to sue the company because they asked her to go into the office to take notes for a meeting (this was late 2020).

Also she claimed to have had covid twice which everyone doubts because she was 65 and obese and it would have dropped her like a bag of shit.

I looked her up so the good people here don't have to and she should sue the plastic surgeon that worked on her nose. All the women at CNN and that's the best Zucker could do?
