1. Do I think CNN is 'dead'?
I would say they've reached the point where no one takes them serious as a news organization, and most would be more willing to watch Nat'l Geographic whale video or 1970s Johnny Carson reruns....than CNN itself.
They need viewership to pump up the cost of advertising, and it's simply not going to happen.
2. What was this Minneapolis riot stuff with the Democratic Party all about this past weekend?
Well...candidate 'X' apparently was supposed to meet candidate 'Y' (same party) over a city council seat. I should note here....both are democrats. This was supposed to be a friendly meeting where each told their story, and 'sold' their message.
Support folks went nuts, and the police were called. Yeah, it was pretty violent.
So now, the leadership of the democratic party (locally) wants to have an emergency meeting (bigwigs only) to ban certain people from ever attending such meetings again.
On the BS-scale....1-to-10....I'd say this was a '7'.
All of this....over one single ward? Yes.
3. How this Disney/DeSantis thing ends?
I think toward the fall....Disney will announce a quarter-to-half-closure of it's Florida operation. 75,000 folks in Florida presently work for Disney in Florida....my prediction is that 20,000 will be put on terminal status.
On the blame-DeSantis game? Well...it's going to turbo pretty quick.
How long will this game be played out? I would imagine until November of 2024, and then some re-entry will occur, with half of the 20,000 brought back. The rest in the summer of 2025.
