Let’s never forget that somehow we, common folk, knew more about Sheng Thao than these “journalists” did.
KQED and Oaklandside back at it again with some major defense of Sheng Thao. They seem to play up her “wins” and omit many reasons why people actually didn’t like her. I need only listen to the first five minutes to get it. Done with you @KQED

California's failure to build high-speed rail is maybe the most egregious example of America's inability to deliver modern infrastructure.
Perhaps it could learn from another Western country with one of the world's largest and cheapest high-speed train networks: Spain.

This is a perfect example of how some people think they have some brilliant take (disguising an ulterior motive) while trying to undermine credible journalism. Carmelo probably just resents owners and media (like most athletes do).
Carmelo Anthony wants Pablo Torre to reveal the NBA owners who want him to look into LeBron’s helicopter use.
Earlier this week, Torre shared that owners have reached out to him about James using a Fanatics helicopter to fly back and forth between Philadelphia and New York while playing for the 76ers, and he is "looking into" the partnership.

Talarico: I opened up social media and learned that I apparently had dropped out of the race, had flown to a mental hospital in Ohio, that I had died. This is crazy. Conspiracy theories don't put food on the table. They don't put gas in the tank. They don't actually improve our communities or improve our country. And so I'm going to stay focused on the very real problems that are facing Texans.

Two MAGA influencers claimed to have proof that James Talarico had a mental breakdown. Elon Musk pushed it. Within hours, the story fell apart.
@willsommer and @EggerDC got the full recording that the viral clip was cut from.

Take it from me. Don’t waste your life: Learn three chords. Start a band.
Loved seeing Turnstile on SNL. I hope it spawns a dozen new bands. Its never been easier to fall down a rabbit hole. Discover hardcore. Find the weird shit that changes your life. Start a band. Make some noise.

This is what they do. And it has led us to constantly question the people who should be in office while continually giving a pass to those lead us astray here in Oakland.
Oakland school board profiles: Oaklandside put all the negatives on one candidate — the one the teachers union opposes
Every unflattering sentence in its District 4 candidate profile was about Mike Hutchinson, but it offered none of his explanations. The challengers' records were reduced to "parent" and "union rep."

Whether it’s lazy journalism, cowardice or complicity, Oaklandside waited until the FBI raid to ever put any effort into the case against Thao when a good number of people have long known there’s been smoke around her for several years.
Flashback: Oaklandside ran a story on Sheng Thao's "fight" against recall — but didn't say why people sought to recall her. (2024)
📰 Its subtitle said in part: "Much of the money" for the recall came "from one wealthy person."
📰 It didn't mention the FBI raids on Thao's and her partner Andre Jones' homes, and the home and office of David Duong of California Waste Solutions a few months prior.
📰(All four were later indicted for corruption and bribery. All four have pleaded not guilty.)
