So was watching the local Tucson news station and they were reporting on the 2 AZ abortion laws on the books (SC has to decide if new or old take effect), They described both as total abortion bans that only allow abortions to save the life of the mother and left it at that.

An another way they could have described them is one law allows 98% of abortions that were previously legal but the other is almost a total abortion ban.

Absolutely blatant media bias in how they reported that story. They wanted to give the impression that both were the same, when in reality they were massively different.

Newest law regulates (saving the Life of the Mother) abortions after 15 weeks , while the older law regulates from conception.

I dont understand .. outsider looking in

I thought AZ had a 1900s era ban on all abortions. That was put on hold - injunction when roe came down ... now the republican AZ just won in court with a ruling that the old 1900s law is now good law again.

1900s law makes it a crime for anyone to perform an abortion

BUT new AZ law prohibits after 15 weeks ....

Sounds like AZ needs to decide what law is the law

I do see the irritation if you are in the "pro govt making medical decisions for women" camp as the new 15 week one is not a near total ban.

Why would you trust a local news station though? they report the weather and traffic. I wouldnt listen to them for anything of substance. They have to produce a new show every day focusing on daily topcis .. dont have time or knowledge to do deep dive reporting.

Local news trying to do serious reporting .. god bless em.

funny quote I did see

"We applaud the Court for upholding the will of the .... legislature!"

Did AZ have and then pull the idea of allowing the citizens to vote on abortion .. after "we the people" spoke with their votes in Kansas?

[SunnySide]

Ducey contends it will supersede the territorial statute. But Sen. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, who wrote the new legislation, said it specifically did not repeal the more stringent territorial law.

The governor said he expects the issue will have to be hashed out in court.

This is beyond the "media bias" you pointed out .. more like media incompetence imo.

But .. sounds like that old absolute ban is on the books until the courts decide and its chilling effect is that abortion providers in AZ have suspended operations.

real world effect and bottom line --- arizona has an absolute ban on abortions

[nonniey]

Sunny, AZ is under the old law until final (full??) court decisions on which law should be applicable. I would think (not being a lawyer) that the new law should take precedence. (Matter of fact I think the ruling she made was based on fact the new law had not taken effect when she ruled - now that it has/was supposed to take effect (1 day after her ruling) one would think that is the new law that should be in place. But there is a major difference between the 2 unlike what the local news startion was implying.

A Sandy Hook Harasser Desecrated A Child's Grave. Another Threatened To Dig It Up.

After conspiracy theorist Alex Jones repeatedly lied that one of America’s most deadly school shootings was staged, parents of one victim said they got letters threatening to desecrate their child’s grave.

One person who sent a letter to Mark and Jackie Barden, whose 7-year-old son Daniel was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, claimed to have urinated on the child’s grave. In another letter, someone threatened to dig up Daniel’s grave to prove he didn’t exist, his parents testified in Jones’ trial on Tuesday.

Daniel did exist. He died along with 19 other children and six adults in the shooting and is now one of the subjects of a defamation trial against Jones, who used his platform Infowars to spread the sick lie that the kids had never died and that their parents were simply actors.

Ghislaine Maxwell gave her first interview since sentencing and made 3 comments;

- Meeting Epstein was the biggest mistake of her life;
- Prince Andrew paid a heavy price for his friendship with her;
- Trump wishing her well meant a lot to her

Guess which one of the 3 above Fox News DID NOT include in its report of the interview?

Democrats who run the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) have blocked a freshman Latina Republican lawmaker from joining the group.

Mayra Flores, who flipped a long-held Democratic House seat along the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year, said she was refused admission by the CHC because of her party affiliation.

"As the first Mexican-born American Congresswoman, I thought the Hispanic Caucus would be open to working together," said Flores. "This denial once again proves a bias towards conservative Latinas that don’t fit their narrative or ideology."

There is a democrat CHC and a republican CHC ...

How dare democrats not allow her to join their democrat hispanic caucus!

Dear new republican Flores ... you got 14,799 votes in a special election in which republicans pumped millions into your campaign vs a last second Dem nominee who spent $0 campaigning

Enjoy being a House Rep for a few more weeks when elections take place.

Jimmy Kimmel Told ABC He’d Quit if Execs Stopped Him From Making Trump Jokes: ‘They Knew I Was Serious’

https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/jim...es-1235422576/

Jimmy Kimmel revealed on the most recent episode of Sticher’s “Naked Lunch” podcast that he threatened to quit his ABC talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” when ABC executives expressed apprehension over him telling jokes about Donald Trump. It appears the execs once spoke to Kimmel about laying off Trump in order to not alienate Republican viewers. Kimmel said ABC execs were right in their apprehension, as he estimates he lost around half of his audience due to Trump jokes.

“There was one time, right around the beginning of this whole Trump thing… maybe not quite [eight years ago],” Kimmel said when asked if ABC ever expressed concern to him about attacking Trump. “I said listen, I get it, you’re right. I have lost half of my fanbase, maybe more. Ten years ago, among Republicans I was the most popular talk show. At least according to the research they did.”

Adam Carolla > Jimmy Kimmel

Sad, but true

[MTK]

Not many people are less funny than Adam Carolla.

Gilbert Godfried maybe, but he was mostly just annoying.
