Is Sarah Palin Trump's Birther?

Most societies link human childbirth to the spiritual. “It’s a miracle,” a new parent is likely to gasp upon seeing his or her offspring for the first time.  That sense of the divine is not lost in patriarchal societies. To downplay the woman’s role, religious myths credit the gift of life to male gods.     Having no vagina is not an impediment. The ancient deity Ra gave life through his mouth.  Dionysus sprang from Zeus’s thigh. (Myths and Secrets, by Barbara G. Walker, HarperSanFrancisco, 1983, pg. 106)  In Biblical myth, Eve was the product of Adam’s rib. Examples of this male-centric propaganda are legion. Sperm does contribute to the ovum’s development, but in real life, when it comes to childbearing, women do the labor. Aware of this fact, Peter Hamby’s article in Vanity Fair made me chuckle.  In it, he theorized Sarah Palin gave life to Donald Trump. (“How Trump Fades Away,” Vanity Fair, May 2021, pgs. 40-41.)   His reasons are simple. Palin was the first among her fellow Republicans to mix politics with anti-elitism and label the liberal press the “lamestream media.” Though they returned her fire, charging she lacked sophistication, their insult left no wound.  Instead, she seemed to be energized by it.  After all, her message wasn’t for journalists. She was speaking to the common man–soccer moms in particular.  Palin’s genius, Hamby wrote, was to carve out a “new path to power, “one that merged cultural identity with policy. Being a natural performer helped further her cause. She landed light, mocking jabs on the establishment, and it was music to the ears of a constituency hungry for attention.  Their small political contributions swelled from a trickle to an overflow, a phenomenon that caught Steve Bannon’s eye. Eventually, he became her mentor. In 2012, she decided against a run for the presidency and abandoned center stage.  The footsteps she left behind were too big for most Republicans to fill, but they matched those of Donald Trump. He was an entertainer. He had Palin’s audacity and possessed enough money to be contemptuous of the media. What he lacked was a message and so he seized upon hers, playing to Palin’s audience like Itzhak Perlman with a Stradivarius.     Trump may boast he is a self-made man, but he owed his political success in 2016 to the woman who paved his way.  As a sexist, he’d never he’d concede the point, but Hamby would. The journalist leaves little doubt that Donald Trump is Sarah Palin’s evil seed.

Snapchat apre ai news e recluta giornalisti

Snapchat apre ai news e recluta giornalisti

Da chat ‘Usa e getta’ per giovanissimi a media che recluta giornalisti per raccontare le prossime elezioni Usa.

E’ questa lo sviluppo di Snapchat, la chat diventata popolare tra gli adolescenti per la possibilità di far sparire in pochi secondi messaggi e foto scambiate.

La start-up nata nel 2011 vicina ad un valore di 19 miliardi di dollari “sta ripensando ai contenuti editoriali molto meglio di…

Snapchat reportedly hired Peter Hamby from CNN to become the company’s “Head of News.” What the duties of the “Head of News” entails is unclear. 

Snapchat’s Discover service, which launched in January, already has at least three news outlets -- including Hamby’s estranged CNN -- sharing news stories with Snapchatters every day. Perhaps Snapchat has seen stronger engagement with those channels than others, and wants to delve into reporting its own news stories.

Discover has been a huge success for Snapchat, with some channels receiving more than 1 million views per day. That’s significantly better than CNN’s television ratings, and the audience skews much younger -- and therefore more valuable for advertisers. Snapchat shares ad revenue with its Discover partners, earning a share of the approximately $100,000 per day each channel brings in in ad spend.

But similar to Netflix, Snapchat has tons of data on its users that no one else receives access to, not even its partners serving up that valuable content. And as Netflix has done branching out into original content by using its user data, Snapchat may very well start to do the same. Originals make Netflix and Snapchat less reliant on media partners, which will continually ask for more money.

We already saw its early efforts in originals with “Literally Can’t Even,” which despite lackluster reviews on the blogosphere received enough attention that Snapchat renewed it for a second season. Perhaps Snapchat can infuse some data-driven feedback to the comedy short to make season 2 better.

Getting into news is actually a more natural fit for Snapchat than producing five-minute comedies. It’s already shown an ability to curate what’s going on at big events around the world and monetize those with ads. Summing it all up with a Snapchat News channel on Discover is the next step.
