Seth Millstein
Next on our list is Bill Gates, one of two founders of Microsoft. A vocal proponent of alternative proteins, Gates has called plant-based meat “the future,” and said that wealthy countries “should move to 100 percent synthetic beef” in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with cattle. More importantly, he’s put his money where his mouth is, so to speak. Gates has invested in plant-based meat companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, as well as the cultivated meat company Upside Foods, formerly known as Memphis Meats. Upside Foods is one of just two cultivated meat companies that have been given FDA approval to sell its products commercially in the U.S. Gates has also given money to Neutral Foods, a food company that aims to be carbon neutral by purchasing carbon offsets to compensate for the emissions its products cause. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has also provided grants to a number of organizations working on alternative proteins, including the Good Food Institute.

==Libby Gelman-Waxner======
In 1988, Paul Rudnick began producing satiric film criticism for Premiere Magazine under the name Libby Gelman-Waxner, a deranged Manhattan wife, mother and "Assistant Buyer of Juniors Activewear." A collection of Libby's columns was published in 1994 under the title If You Ask Me, and Janet Maslin, in The New York Times, wrote that, "Mr. Rudnick weaves many a trenchant thought into Libby's comic screeds." Premiere folded in 2007, but Libby resumed writing a monthly column for Entertainment Weekly in 2011 and occasionally contributes reviews to The New Yorker.
"I wouldn't invite Jared and Ivanka for Passover because they'd try to sell Moses a time-share, and all the silverware would go right into Ivanka's purse" - Libby Gelman-Waxner 2/1/21

Mike Pesca: How NPR Lost Its Way
Former NPR and Slate fixture Mike Pesca discusses media meltdowns, objectivity vs. moral clarity, and whether we are better or worse off now that media gatekeepers have less influence.

‘As Racist as They Come’: ABC News President Condemns Trump for Saying Black People Like Him Because He Got Indicted
ABC News president Kimberly Godwin condemned former President Donald Trump’s comments about Black people liking him due to his indictments, calling the claim “as racist as they come” in a note to staff. “I got indicted a second time and a third time and a fourth time and a lot of people said that that’s why the Black people like me because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against,” said Trump on Friday during a South Carolina speech to the Black Conservative Federation.

Jonah Goldberg: Voters wishing for an alternative to Trump and Biden got one.
Unfortunately, it's RFK Jr.“Our campaign is a spoiler all right,” Kennedy said last week while announcing his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, in Oakland. “It is a spoiler for President Biden and for President Trump.” But there’s the rub: The same duopoly that Kennedy is running against ensures that he can be a spoiler for only one candidate. Hofstadter also said, “Third parties are like bees: once they have stung, they die.” And the party they sting is the one they are closest to. As of now, it looks like Kennedy wants to sting leftward, at Biden. His choice of Shanahan — a progressive, young, Asian American, California-based tech lawyer — is one indication. Another: Timothy Mellon, the biggest donor to Kennedy’s Super PAC, is also the biggest donor to Trump’s. It seems unlikely that spoiling Trump’s candidacy would be his priority.

Gutfeld Claims Democrats Will Steal 2024 Election Before Admitting, ‘I Have Very Little Evidence Of That’
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld suggested on Monday that Democrats will try to steal the 2024 election, before admitting that he had “very little evidence” to back up such a claim. During a discussion on The Five about President Joe Biden’s ailing reelection campaign, Gutfeld said, “I think you’re starting to see the realization that things aren’t going well. You’re seeing the doubts in the media, Fareed Zakaria, the frantic stares in the media, the blame-throwing.” He mocked, “They’re like on a lifeboat that’s run out of food and they’re starting to eye each other suspiciously, and yet they’re so close to land. Yet that land is called MAGA country, but their egos won’t let them swim to shore. They’d rather go down in the boat in the Never Trump ocean than find joy and pleasure in MAGA country.” (Media-Ite 5/13/24) READ MORE>>>>>

That dog don't hunt: Right-wing media say Kristi Noem’s vice presidential dreams are dead
Despite Noem’s cancellation, Gutfeld went ahead with the “interview” anyway, with his Fox colleague Dana Parino standing in for Noem. The host began, “Did you write the book yourself?” “That’s a great question for someone who wrote the book, and I don’t think I will dignify your question with a response,” Perino answered, a likely reference to Noem’s cringeworthy evasiveness on the redacted Kim Jong Un claims. “Another one of my dogs, his name was Ghost Writer,” Perino later added. “And I killed him this morning.” Gutfeld then asked if it bothered her “that these stories about the dog and North Korea” are drawing attention away from her full story.
