    Because the GOP race is an open one with many declared candidates. This guy is a no one whose entire campaign is why aren’t people giving me more attention.

    You would be more credible as a poster if you worried about anything but perceived left wing bias.

    IMO, part of it is because Michael Jordan slammed Jerry Krause every chance he got. Sam Smith confirms this in "The Jordan Rules."

    Part of it is because Krause broke up the dynasty after title No. 6. There was a perception, real or imagined, that he wanted credit for what he did and felt he was never going to get it with Jordan, Pippen and Co. and Phil Jackson on the bench.

    And part of it is people who have grown to love cruelty, almost to the point of craving it.

    A good friend of mine surprised me four years ago when I heard him say, "the cruelty is the point." Honestly, I felt like that was something bordering on subhuman behavior. But, four years later, I know how correct he was and is.

    It would be embarrassing – if these so-called human beings were capable of shame.

    Thelma Krause is openly distraught. Congratulations, folks. If you were truly as proud of this country as you claim to be, you would understand how collectively awful we come across when crap like this happens.

    All because a narcissistic POS is trying to stay out of prison, trying to steal as much money and everything else as he can on the way out the door, and a television tycoon - who, BTW, you "America First" sorts, is NOT American - has put ad dollars first and brushed aside the truth and - GASP! - journalism to fan as much hate, fear and division as humanly possible.

    The counter-factual was related to the 2020 election.

    there's nothing conservative about destroying western democracy. You and your kind need to drop that modifier.

    The counter factual is about something which didn’t happen. Just what the author speculated might have.

    You are so tremendously concerned about media bias, but only coming from one side.

    My take: Bulls fans' disgusting booing had nothing to do with anything happening right now in politics, social media or society. Armour misfires when she vaguely suggests that it could be.

    I do not think MSNBC's refusal to interview Dean Phillips has anything to do with media bias.

    I have many posts over the years about Fox News, which stinks.

    Could he do just a cursory google search before whining about how mean the meanies in the media are?

    If he did, he would’ve found out (since apparently he didn’t know) that “sitting Republican member of Congress” Mark Sanford DID launch “a primary challenge to incumbent President Trump” and was summarily ignored and/or laughed at, as Phillips is being now.

    Krause was an easy target. Belittled by Jordan. Big fat guy who didn't "look the part" of an executive.

    The booing was despicable and indefensible. But should the Bulls be surprised? They really should have anticipated this. Maybe they did and they figured they had to do it because to ignore Krause would have been absurd. I don't know.

    TBF, what Trump said was Carter was happy because Biden replaced him as worst POTUS. Had nothing to do with his beloved wife being dead.
