This is true, but let's also be clear that Shaun King is a very proud and overt antisemite, so any statement he makes about Jews should be seen through the lens of someone who is not making a good faith argument.

This is just another game from him, and in many ways a tamer one than most.

Another big reason obsessive poll-sniffing is silly: “Public opinion” on most issues quite literally does not exist. It is an ephemeral artifact of the process of polling itself. Ask again a day later with slightly different wording & the numbers change radically.

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
