Fox News anchor criticizes Kamala Harris for talking about joy
JULIE BANDERAS (FOX NEWS ANCHOR): I just have to call her out on using the word joy. How weird is that for the vice president to come out of this presidential mess for the last four years and refer to it as joy? Okay, the American people are not joyful about their checkbooks. They are not joyful about inflation. They're certainly not joyful about the economy. So what in the world is she talking — what is there to be joyful about? Our borders? Eh. No there. Like there is nothing to be joyful about other than getting a president in here to clean up the mess.

“What if a Republican leader in any state, you name it, decides we’re going to take Biden off the ballot?” Banderas asked after quickly referencing an impeachment inquiry Republicans admit has yet to produce evidence of criminality. “If they did, there would be a huge outcry.” |
Fox News pundit mocked for shrugging off Trump's legal woes as 'some issues in the court'
What do you call 91 criminal charges in four separate court cases, a $250 million civil fraud trial, a pending $10 million civil defamation lawsuit and presidential ballot-blocking litigation filed in 32 states across the U.S.?" If you’re Fox News' Julie Banderas, and you’re talking about former President Donald Trump, you call it “some issues in the court system.” Banderas used these words Friday to bemoan the “double standard” she says Trump is facing in Colorado and Maine, two states that have ruled Trump cannot appear on the 2024 presidential ballots under the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist ban.

Trump recently said to women at a rally, "You will no longer be abandoned or scared, you won't be in danger any longer,. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected and I will be your protector. You will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion."
"My God," Bedingfield responded, "where there are so many places," Bedingfield began. "Okay, first of all, I think Trump has no understanding of why he has a problem with women. First of all, this is, like, creepy, like, bizarre messaging, but it's – he's talking at women, not to them, which is a problem that I think Republicans have across the board. It's like they think of women as this sort of other entity. That's not a message to women.

Bezos himself, however, has spent quite a bit of money to fund climate initiatives, including measures aimed at researching and promoting alternatives to traditional meat. He’s done this primarily through the Bezos Earth Fund, a grant program for funding climate scientists and green initiatives around the world. “Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet,” Bezos wrote in an Instagram post announcing the fund. “I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share. This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs — any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world.” Bezos, one of the richest men on Earth, seeded the fund with $10 billion of his own money at the outset. That money is meant to be distributed gradually by 2030; as of this writing, $2 billion has been doled out to various climate initiatives, according to the fund’s website. The fund has committed to spending $1 billion of its overall endowment on food-related projects, with the goal of “transform[ing] food and agricultural systems to support healthy lives without degrading the planet.” A lot of that money has gone to grants aimed at reducing methane output from cattle, while the Bezos’ fund is also funding research into cultivated and plant-based meat. In 2024, the fund announced that it would be spending $60 million of its endowment on research centers aimed at improving the technology behind alternative proteins. This allocation was soon increased to $100 million, and in May, the first Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein went live at North Carolina State University. The fund intends to build more of these centers in order to “establish a network of open-access research and development centers focused on sustainable protein alternatives, expanding consumer choices.” n addition to the Bezos Earth Fund, Amazon itself established the Right Now Climate Fund, a $100 million initiative aimed at reforestation and conservation. As cattle farming is the biggest driver of deforestation worldwide, this fund targets efforts, like agroforestry, that are component of food system change. “We are not turning everybody into vegetarians,” said Andrew Steer, president and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund, in June. “But we are trying to improve the choice and the health and the vitality of the agricultural system.” (Good Men Project: How Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates and Musk Are Trying — Or Not Trying — To Make Meat Sustainable 9/15/24)

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: Bezos vs. the British invasion. The Washington Post, like most legacy media outlets, can’t seem to catch a break. Right now, the newsroom is reeling under leadership changeups — and an editor who’s part of what appears to be a British invasion into American media leadership. It’s hard to imagine Jeff Bezos, a soon-to-be trillionaire, as anyone’s folk hero. When he bought the Post in 2013, many assumed his involvement would put the paper’s editorial integrity at risk. But could his active presence actually right the ship? Journalist and writer Brian Stelter joins us, apropos of his recent reporting for The Atlantic.
