YADA YADA YADA THIS FINE HUMP-DAY

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots...

CHATTER ABOUT MIDNIGHT "THUMPING MUSIC" again; didn't hear it; again, these things are best reported to village officials as opposed to social media.

There's been some downright funny memes regarding AOC's "frozen eggs"---some clever, if not also annoying, new names for the Harmon area with all the planned multifamily etc. housing and planned pot shops area rezoning----some disturbing and/or also amusing commentary on the escalating Jason Arday scandal-----new vaccine stuff (that warrants a completely separate post)----and the cartoon with the wall dividing the village is allegedly being made into a Tee-shirt! 

Will let you find all this on your own if the admins haven't removed it all by now.

There's been some chatter about folks attending the next DEI/IDEA meeting on Friday but it's in the afternoon and work makes it impossible for most.  Leaving that for others to navigate....

There's been quite a bit of chatter about the general reliability of CNN---which ranks third among the major U.S. cable news networks, trailing far behind Fox News and MS NOW (MSNBC); and skipping all that---a reader found a working link for this info if you want more stats Here Are the Cable News Ratings for June 2026

As to the chatter about its "Media Bias Ratings", HERE'S A DEEP DIVE VIA GOOGLE AI---AND THEN MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENTS.....

Public perception and data from media monitoring agencies indicate varying perspectives on CNN's reporting:

Factual Accuracy and Error Rates
The network's track record for reliability is tracked closely by independent fact-checkers:

Factual Reporting Category: Media Bias/Fact Check rates CNN's factual reporting as Mixed due to occasional failed fact-checks, retracted stories, and the use of sensationalized headlines.

Corrective Actions: While the network has faced high-profile controversies and corrections, it generally maintains standard journalistic protocols for issuing formal retractions and corrections when reporting errors occur.

Also quite a bit of incorrect chatter regarding the Covington Catholic fiasco and settlement for both WAPO AND CNN; here's the numbers--if the links are still live; it's been a while.....
