"Eagles’ Winning NFL Kickoff Game Falls To 9-Year Viewership Low"

Snagging 19 million viewers on the Comcast-owned network, the late starting Eagles winning kickoff game fell 13% in broadcast audience from last year’s NFL opener with the New England Patriots and the victorious Kansas City Chiefs.

That’s another year of straight double digit decline for the NFL and NBC. With last years opener holding the previous record, the 2018 battle in Philly is also the worst any kickoff game has done since 2009.

What a surprise. Who saw that coming?

Is Mifsud [187]? Why is the DNC claiming he might be?

"DNC: Papadopoulos's UK contact may be dead"

'"DNC lawyers' wrote in court filings Friday that Joseph Mifsud, who spoke to Papadopoulos during the 2016 presidential election, "is missing and may be deceased," Bloomberg News reported. The lawyers did not elaborate."

"“The DNC's counsel has attempted to serve Mifsud for months and has been unable to locate or contact him. In addition, public reports have said he has disappeared and hasn't been seen for months," DNC spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said."

"I call it Hillary Clinton’s funeral, that was the night she lost the election," Trump said on Air Force One. "It was a funeral; it was a wake."

Interesting choice of words from POTUS.

NY Times Editor Rejects Obama’s Credibility in Defense of Media: ‘Come On’

Amy Fiscus, the New York Times’ national security editor, criticized former President Barack Obama’s prosecution of anonymous government sources Friday.

In his speech at the University of Illinois Friday, Obama said that he, unlike Trump, never threatened to shut down media outlets.

"I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me threaten to shut them down, or call them enemies of the people," he said.

Fiscus found this argument wanting.

"Your DOJ also prosecuted more leak investigations than all other presidents’ combined. Come on," Fiscus wrote.
