The results of the third ballot in the Tory leadership race have been announced by Sir Graham Brady. The candidate with the fewest votes - Tom Tugendhat - will now leave the race to replace Boris Johnson. The results are as follows: Kemi Badenoch - 58 (up by nine from second round) Penny Mordaunt - 82 (down by one from second round) Rishi Sunak - 115 (up by 14 from second round) Liz Truss - 71 (up by seven from second round) Tom Tugendhat - 31 (down by one from second round) It's like Love Island. Do you even have that piece of shit reality TV show over there? So you get less votes, you win? It's like golf? Or are people voting (NO!) No way should that bleeper be PM! So like the one with the fewest "fuck that guys" gets to live in #10? That sounds better than "whomever gets the most votes wins." Am I missing the point? (Again? ) I stopped watching Island shows during the second season of Temptation Island. The first season, I just wanted to see how everything worked out. The idiots who I thought would make it, didn't. The crazy people who were huge flirts that had sleep overs forgave each other and stayed together. Then. I wonder if they are still together. Lately, I watch The Food That Built America, but I just found out there is a new series that just started and it sounds like Multiple Temptation Island... History Channel, what are you thinking? I know: Cumes, Ratings & Advertising Income. Rah.

Just like you got elected. The person with the most votes is the winner. I lose whoever that may be. But hey, I'm done with the whole shower of shites from any side. And looking at Joe and Kamala you have already lost too. Or about to.

Good thing the Back Porch Constitution banned the electoral college. Who fucking knows who would be have been our mayor, otherwise?

So little time. donavan...thanks. Just like a lot of math(s) I don't get it...why do the numbers not make sense? (Unless there were new numbers that came in which changed the vote totals drastically. That would make sense.)

The new owners want it to be FOX LITE to attract rightwingers, who would NEVER watch them anyway. So they are driving off regular viewers to chase people who hate them passionately. Good business model.

They won't get new viewers and will only alienate older viewers. Maybe there is some kind of Enron deal going on.

We have all kinds of new online news channels popping up over here. Very right wing but they give a little platform to other views to demonstrate they are balanced.....not. Like I've said before I'm done with the bullshit. Unfortunately I can't stop watching it.

So there are new right wing channels to add to the existing ones. In the US many of the local news channels were bought up by a company named Sinclair. They add a MAGA spin to many stories, sometimes a subtle one, sometimes blatant. An example of the latter, when we had a bank failure in CA, they immediately put a complete lunatic on who blamed it on "woke." The bank's managers made terrible choices, lost tons of money and their jobs, but blame it on a magic word never defined.

In non-Trump but idiotic right-wing media stories, I find it funny and sad the recent story about the conservative press being outraged over a story where homeless veterans were displaced at a hotel in New York state by a group of asylum seekers from south of the border, and the subsequent crow being eaten given that the story was completely fabricated and fell apart after a bare minimum of factchecking. All MAGA enthusiasts will remember is the original story and not the retraction (and the last I heard, there wasn't even much of a retraction from some of these outlets, just a small addendum to the story saying there might be some discrepancies with the story).
