German Companies Pull Ads From Breitbart
Source: investingchannel.com
By: Zero Hedge | Thursday, December 8, 2016 at 11:08 am
While the WaPo admitted, two weeks after its infamous hit piece on "fringe media" which it labelled as "Russian propaganda fake news", that its entire article was based on reporting that was wrong, the adverse consequences are piling up for the sites named in the list, among which the popular conservative hangout Breitbart. German carmaker BMW, the restaurant chain Vapiano, supermarket chain Rewe, and Deutsche Telekom have all pulled their ads from the pro-Trump news site due to concerns about its content, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
...................
Deutsche Telekom is also present on the American market through its subsidiary T-mobile, the third-largest wireless carrier in the US. Replying to a DW inquiry, Deutsche Telekom said they "very much regret" that their ads appeared on Breitbart, which according to Deutsche Welle "is often branded a far-right hate site."
The company "does not tolerate discriminatory actions or statements in any way," a representative for the company said. "We reacted immediately, taken the ads off and put the site on a blacklist," they told DW.
The move by German corporations coincides with Twitter campaigns that pressure companies to cut off ad revenue to far-right outlets - the Stop Funding Hate in the UK and the Kein Geld Für Rechts (No Money for the Right) in Germany. It follows a similar decision last week, when as we reported before US cereal company Kellogg's also pulled its ads from Breitbart, saying that its "values" were not aligned with those propagated on the website.........................

HILLARY CLINTON: The 'epidemic of malicious fake news' is a 'danger' that must be 'addressed quic

.........Let me just mention briefly one threat in particular that should concern all Americans, Clinton said at an event honoring outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike especially those who serve in our Congress.
Clinton said it was now clear the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda could have real-world consequences.
This isnt about politics or partisanship, she said. Lives are at risk. Live of ordinary people just trying to go about their days to do their jobs, contribute to their communities.
Clinton continued: Its a danger that must be addressed and addressed quickly. Bipartisan legislation is making its way through Congress to boost the governments response to foreign propaganda and Silicon Valley is starting to grapple with the challenge and threat of fake news.

Jessica Chastain Is A Nasty Woman & Proud Of It

Jessica Chastain Is A Nasty Woman & Proud Of It
?w=740&h=437&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format&q=70

It might feel like ancient history now, but it was only a little over a month ago that Donald Trump took the stage at the third presidential debate, glanced over at Hillary Clinton, and muttered the statement that'd come to define the tail end of the 2016 election: "Such a nasty woman." In the weeks since the phrase was uttered, it's become (and remained) nothing short of a battle cry for Clinton supporters, women who've taken the derogatory connotations behind the words and turned them into points of pride, markers of ambition, preparation, and drive. Still, not everyone is on-board with the repurposed phrase; as the results of the election sadly showed, America would still prefer an ill-equipped man than a nasty woman in the country's highest office. But for the actor Jessica Chastain, an avid Clinton supporter and self-proclaimed feminist, the candidate's loss doesn't mean that the message shared by her supporters has to be lost, too.
"I’m a nasty woman. I’m proud to be a nasty woman," Chastain tells me, the morning after she arrived at her New York home for a quick Thanksgiving celebration. "It’s a strange thing to say, but I’m not going to let someone make me feel bad for succeeding and using my power."
In the time since Trump's win, countless people have looked back at the election and wondered if things could've been different. Would Clinton have won if she were less zealous, less fierce, less herself? It's hard to say, but Chastain — whose new film, Miss Sloane, features a protagonist who's every bit as "nasty" as Clinton and the star herself — has no patience for those who choose to see those qualities as flaws.
?w=740&h=483&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format&q=70
....................When Chastain first signed on to Miss Sloane, it was the film's controversial subject matter — the plot hinges around Elizabeth's fight to get a strict gun control bill passed into law — that caught her attention. But soon, she says, she was drawn to its reversal of the gender politics so commonplace in pop culture.
"Usually in film, when you see a female lead character who’s championing something, it’s something that has to do with being female," Chastain explains. "It’s inherently a female movie, a female issue." But with Miss Sloane, she says, "I was really excited to see a successful female working in politics that was championing an issue that wasn’t gender specific."...........................
House Democrats Want An Investigation Into Russian Hacking During The Election
Source: buzzfeed
Reps. Elijah Cummings and Eric Swalwell introduced legislation to create a bipartisan commission to look into “foreign interference” during the 2016 election.

WASHINGTON — Two House Democrats have introduced legislation to investigate “foreign interference” during the 2016 election.
The legislation, if passed, would create an independent, bipartisan appointed commission to investigate foreign interference in this year’s election given the evidence that Russia was behind hacking throughout the course of the year.
“I think it would be congressional malpractice if we did not look into this,” said Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings at a press conference on Wednesday. “We cannot afford to let this be normal.”
Cummings and California Rep. Eric Swalwell are leading the initiative in the House, but across the Capitol Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has also said he will lead an investigation on the matter, CNN reported.
