Quick Hits: Volume CCXLV

 - It appears longtime news program 60 Minutes is back in the "selectively editing" business. 

WATCH: CBS and @60Minutes excluded context from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in which he explains the steps his government took to make the decision to partner with Publix on vaccine distribution.

If 60 Minutes *really* wanted to track a potential "pay-to-play" scandal, they might wanna look toward the left coast. 

 

The 60 Minutes story might have benefitted from a more broad lens on vaccine contracts. Publix gave $100k+ to Gov. DeSantis. It's also worth noting Gov. Newsom has received $23 million in campaign & cause support from Blue Shield of CA, which he gave exclusive vaccine contracts.

Big Media really is becoming the caricature many conservatives have painted it as for the past few decades.  

- It was 27 years ago today when then L.A. Rams quarterback Jim Everett got into a dustup with sports guy Jim Rome on the latter's short lived ESPN2 TV show.

The insinuation Rome made was Everett was tantamount to a woman (Chris Evert was the superstar female tennis player) playing in the NFL given how "soft" Rome perceived him to be.

If Rome made such remarks today, he would be effectively "canceled" for being a misogynist and/or "mis-gendering" a person.

-  The new site for the 2021 MLB All-Star Game has been revealed. 

Coors Field in Denver will hold the All-Star Game and its surrounding events, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday.

MLB opted to move the game out of Atlanta due to voting laws passed in Georgia last month.

I won't rehash how Commissioner Rob Manfred made this decision out of cowardice and ignorance. However, it doesn't appear Colorado's voting laws are dramatically different from Georgia's. 

Georgia: Voter ID, 17 days of early voting.
Colorado: Voter ID, 15 days of early voting.

Atlanta is 51% Black.
Denver is 9.2% Black.

The @MLB is moving the #MLBAllStarGame out of ATL which has more day-of voting rights than CO?

The Wokes are at it again, folks.

And isn't amazing that the "Wokes'" actions always end up benefitting whitey???
