CNN's John Sutter looks at some of the biggest stories in right-wing media. He says he thinks Kanye is struggling with mental illness and has been hospitalized. The FTC will probably lose this case, but we'll see where our regulatory agencies weigh in on whether or not it goes to court. And what do you think about Candace Flournoy? Does she feel a little griftery for George Floyd?
It’s been a big week in right wing media: Kanye’s buying Parler, Murdoch may re-merge Fox and News Corp, and whistleblowers are getting fired at Truth Social. Plus, Musk is under federal investigation, stemming from his attempt to buy Twitter. Also, Apple’s mixed reality headset will scan irises, Netflix’s ad-supported tier will launch November 3rd, and in Big Grocery news, Kroger has agreed to buy Albertsons. Author and historian Anne Applebaum joins to discuss the latest in Ukraine and Russia.
