pfife Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_confidence Low confidence generally means questionable or implausible information was used, the information is too fragmented or poorly corroborated to make solid analytic inferences, or significant concerns or problems with sources existed.[1] Quote
gehringer_2 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) is this the same rehash we got a couple of years(?) ago that didn't have anything solid to it.? Edited January 26 by gehringer_2 Quote
pfife Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 I believe it is new that the CIA is saying this but our local pillars of honesty here conveniently left out the low confidence part of the assessment. Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 NIH lifted gain of function pause in 2014. Anthony Fauci’s pardon goes back to, checks notes 2014. Weird Quote

You don’t say … Trump's CIA announced the findings that Biden's CIA made and chose not to report. Low confidence is as Pfife describes it, but it also means they find it more likely to be correct than not correct as many other investigations from other Biden agencies determined. Call me a conspiracy theorists, but if we could flip a switch and automatically have the full truth of what led to Covid, I'm putting some money on a parlay that includes: 1) It was a lab leak. 2) It was gain of function research, as defined as gain of function research under Obama. 3) Fauci knew about it and worked to redefine gain of function. Never with any ill intention, in fact nothing but good intentions, but it still led to a tragedy that killed millions of people. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Trumpers in my FB feed have been trumpeting this the last few days https://www.kennedy.senate.gov/public/2025/1/kennedy-calls-for-fcc-to-review-partisan-decision-to-approve-soros-backed-takeover-of-200-radio-stations Funny, they seem to be OK with FOX, Salem Radio, whatever Clear Channel is calling themselves these days who give us constant conservative radio pablum Quote
CMRivdogs Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Why isn't anyone questioning Fox's right to broadcast? (Hint, they don't have an FCC license, neither does CNN or MSNBC although their parent companies may own stations) but Trump friendly peasants aren't smart enough to figure it out. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) If you have access to the NYT there is a long from story about Murdoch's (apparently failed - so far) attempts to cut three of his four children who will control the family trust when he's gone out of control so Lachan can keep running Fox in the manner it is now. Of course if you were a fan of "Succession" it's basically a *very* thinly veiled take on the Murdochs so you already have the flavor, but still tragically comedic the degree to which Art imitates life and life has returned the favor. So far Rupert and Lachan have not been able to win in court with the changes in the trust they want, but the old man is going to keep trying until he reaches room temperature. The break between Lachan and Rupert and the other three siblings is going to take a LOT of money to paper over if Lachan does eventually succeedin buying them out.

Dan Gilmore Posted February 15 Posted February 15 In the article they mention Lachan had tried low-balling his siblings by offering 60% value for their shares. I hope they all take that with a deep sense of insult and grievance and vow he never gets control. F him and all the other fascist enablers. Quote

It was left unsaid but I imagine that's as much as he could afford without leveraging the company, and the profits in the news business probably wouldn't sustain getting to that high a leverage - he'd end up losing control to his bankers anyway.
