Joe Ricketts, current owner of the Chicago Cubs and producer of a special class of stupid progeny, would you like Return in the news game. You can expect any personality that reaches popularity on this network to be dispatched as soon as you ask for a raise, replaced by a sophomore in college.
It’s always hilarious when an evil frog king like Ricketts wants to claim the need for unbiased information. We now have unbiased information, with many networks and channels providing fact-based news. And then we have the demonic Pandora’s Box open on the right that invents it as it progresses, as their brains and their onlookers turn into porridge. Perhaps this is Ricketts’s attempt to ban any news organization that Trump forms (from his prison cell) in the near future, which will likely end up looking like the reverse of that talk show Bill Murray appeared on. Lost in translation.
Ricketts has been in the news world before, as the founder of DNAInfo, which he then hung up at the very minute that employees sought to join a union. Ricketts wants fair and balanced reporting, but he doesn’t want to pay fair and balanced fees for them.
The idea of Ricketts providing a journalistic healing balm for our divided country would be laughable, if it weren’t so depressing. This is the patriarch of a family who is currently trying denying vaccines to immigrants in Nebraska While main fundraising efforts for a man who spurred the first invasion of the Capitol in two centuries by his own brain-fucking cult. But that is not all. The Ricketts are busy trying to bend Chicago laws at their whim while destroying a loved institution (admittedly, further down the list of complaints). Oh, right, and there are Tom Ricketts’ feelings about Muslims and blacks. The idea of this family’s ability to be neutral is Seuss-ian, if Dr. Seuss had a bizarre evil twin.
Whenever a bag of gas like this talks about “straight and narrow”, it is always a crack against the mainstream media that the right has decided it is biased against them, because, once in each comet or so, the press can report on the criminal and / or idiot Activities. When all of your ethos is based on lies, scams and myths, you tend to look sideways at those who want things based, you know, actually.
