The News is avoiding talking about the CEOs in the College scandal

[edhopper]

but loves showing the two actresses involved repeatedly.

Good work corporate media. Why shame Big Busness when you can talk about Hollywood.

[lancelyons]

1. Also not mentioning the schools in the Boston area

[rocktivity]

34. You mean, like the Ivy League schools?

Wouldn't it be glorious if the Trump regime gets caught up in this? No wonder Pelosi has once again taken impeachment off the table!

[leftieNanner]

2. Not just Hollywood

It's the WOMEN of Hollywood.

[edhopper]

3. good point

[nycbos]

4. People know who those people are.

[edhopper]

5. It's News

not celebrity gossip. Why protect the CEOs from the public.

[nycbos]

8. Ratings Ratings Ratings Ratings Ratings Ratings Ratings Ratings

[TheRealNorth]

11. Don't want to endanger that ad revenue

In the end, the corporate media knows who butters their bread.

[EndGOPPropaganda]

32. Right. Corporate media

[DrToast]

16. Exactly. What are people more likely to read?

An article about the indictment of two celebrities that they know of? Or an article about some CEO that nobody has heard of.

Jeez...there's not a conspiracy behind every corner.

[edhopper]

39. So don't write about corporate criminals

because people don't know their names? Right

And only write articles people will enjoy, forget anything important? Got it.

[Kurt V.]

6. they couldn't be more obvious about it. jeez

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Casino CEO's here in Vegas

mentioned this AM..

Wait till the Athletic Scandals hit,the numbers will be mind blowing.

[Sanity Claws]

9. Is there a list of CEOs involved?

Let's make sure the names get out there. We can start here.

[2naSalit]

10. I noticed that by the second time it came around

that only two famous women are caught but the actual people who committed the crimes are not.

They'd better get on the right side of reality in short order or there will likely be more backlash.



I'm so sick of this cult of white male dominance.

[GemDigger]

12. They did get caught and they set up the others.

The court documents are floating around here (DU) somewhere. If I run into it again I will link for you.

[2naSalit]

20. Thanks!

I've been sick for a while and finally got eds yesterday, not on top of my game right now.

[GemDigger]

25. Make a cup of chicken broth or maybe a cup of tea. It's a long read.

I hope the meds kick whatever is bugging you.

[2naSalit]

29. Ha!

I am so sick of chicken soup and broth! But I will have a cup of tea. The meds are a 3 days series, I hope to feel better by the end of the week. Some upper GI issue, couldn't eat solid food for weeks and because I felt like crap I wasn't thinking well and didn't get around to calling my GP until Friday, she saw me yesterday. I plan to try and make some dinner later and see how that goes... I just couldn't get the food down my neck even though I could feel myself starving!

[barbtries]

33. thanks.

i just tried googling for them but must be using the wrong search terms

[erronis]

13. The cult of dominance extends beyond just the white males - it is anyone in their families,

associated with them, wannabes.

While we are obviously in a WASP-based society ever since those failed Europeans invaded the Americas and raped the land and the peoples, there are plenty of hangers-on, cohorts, descendants that are trying to take advantage of some mystical "better than you" quality.

[2naSalit]

23. I agree that it's

more than just white males... but they are the "special ones" who get to make all the rules for us but not them. The rest are facilitators and enablers.

[2naSalit]

44. They seem to think they

have some genetic tie to the aristocracy that chased them off that continent. Since the inhabitants who were already here weren't white like them, it was okay to take everything from them. Don't get me started....

Affluenza, bloodlines (according to many) and a lot of inhumanity...

[GemDigger]

15. Here ya go.

[2naSalit]

21. Cool, Thanks!

[2naSalit]

41. Looks like someone

pulled the curtain back on the affluenza network. That was a long read. Glad I don't know any of those people, but I've never been rich, so I don't have to feel bad about knowing them!

Yikes, I have to go to bed. Big day in the courts tomorrow and I have to go back to the Dr.'s too.

[smirkymonkey]

43. +1000

[Perseus]

14. I am glad it is out in the open, I think most people have known that for some time

I think it is easy to figure out that GW Bush did not make it to Yale through his own merit, and I am not sure what the requirements to be accepted at Fordham and Wharton are but if they are anything close to Yale, we know the orange buffoon didn't make it through merit.

17. What a surprise privilege uses its money. Not

18. Occam's Razor: Celebrities

No one talks about nameless people when celebrities are in the same discussion. Don't see this as an anti-liberal, pro-business, anti-woman agenda. It's just celebrity stories get traction.

[dlk]

19. The Blame Women First Propaganda Machine Strikes Again

Why ruin otherwise good men's lives? The women, however...

[madinmaryland]

22. I noticed that, also. They pick two female actresses and humiliate them...

Why not the male CEOs?

🤬

35. Would seem some of these rich enuff to give mega-donation a la Kushners

[edhopper]

40. Thaks!

[C Moon]

26. Same thing on FaceBook. People are reeling about the 2 actresses. No mention of CEO's, presidents...

[irisblue]

28. They should have done this the traditional way, like the trump & Bush family

Big money donations.
And the conversations with their kids over the coming months are going to make a lot of shrinks & therapists financially comfortable.

[Petosky Stone]

30. It's the news of the century!!!

"Uber-rich People Buy Their Way In!!"

Click!, click!, click!, click!....

I'll decide what is "news", for myself.

"Kardshian's Butt Did What? OMG!!"

Click!, click!, click!, click!....

[jimmil]

31. For as long as I can remember

The rich families and corporate leaders have gotten their children in the "right" universities no matter how dumb they are. This is NOT news. Everyone who has attended university knew of someone whose daddy/mommy got them accepted. The dumber they were the bigger the donation to the school. If the parent was a CEO/CFO/etc./etc. they would have the company make the donation and it wouldn't come out of their pocket.

[Raine]

36. It seems like it should be getting much more coverage

then it's getting.

[onetexan]

37. this story is so laughable, and yet so sad and pathetic at the same time

You'd think the spoiled rich kids with the greatest advantages in life - expensive private schools, tutors, etc. - would be the ones to take advantage of their privileged upbringing and the resources availed them by their rich parents and do well in school and on their entrance tests, to where they would not need their parents go thru great lengths to cheat to get them into the college they want.
On the other hand, it's very sad the lengths that these rich parents go thru to do the unconscionable and pay upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars to cheat for their spoiled brats to keep them upwardly mobile.

Brings to mind Dubya's Harvard & Yale Ivy education (dad's connections and creds got him in), and the Idiot's dad-bought diploma from uPenn. Go figure that both these dunces became presidents.

[warmfeet]

38. K and R.

Is this the best we can do U.S.A.?

I think not.

I think we can do better.

The elite need no help.

Why not help those that actually do need help.

Time to actually give the help to those who need it.

[TexasBlueDog]

42. Where are the Republicans?

First headline I saw about this was "Democratic Donor", the second headline was "Liberal Activist". I don't know all these people, is this a bipartisan scandal or magically just Democratic supporters?

There are several disturbing elements to this investigation to me. It began 10 months ago, deep into this republican administration, it is FEDERAL in involving several districts and required coordination between those districts, yet no leaks.

They had to know going in who the targets were or certainly very soon thereafter now we're treated to the spectacle of people who have supported Democratic ideals over decades INDICTED in federal court for something that has been an open secret for 100 years.

Something that has to be on a lot of supporters minds now is; how many other secret investigations are going on? Is a move being made on the elite of Democratic supporters? How many rocks are being looked under?

Am I paranoid? I hope so but look at the damage a lightweight ''fraud" can cause. What if these trials (and god knows how many others) start in October of 2020?

This must be taken very seriously, something s going on.
