Dominion lawsuit: Tucker Carlson's scorn for Trump revealed in court papers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A defamation lawsuit is revealing scornful behind-the-scenes opinions by Fox News figures about Donald Trump, including a Tucker Carlson text message declaring, “I hate him passionately.”Carlson's private text comments were revealed in court papers at virtually the same time the former president was hailing the Fox News host on social media. Trump said he was doing a “great job” in presenting excerpts of U.S. Capitol security video of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection — though Carlson used the video to produce a false narrative of the attack. Fox chair Murdoch says 2020 election was fair: court filings The documents are coming to light at a time of increased tension between Trump and Fox, the dominant media force appealing to conservatives, as he campaigns to regain the presidency.Denver-based Dominion suing for $1.6 billionVoting machine manufacturer Dominion Voting Systems, based in Denver, is suing Fox News for $1.6 billion, claiming the network broadcast false cla...

Pride flag mural in Fort Lauderdale Beach defaced again, this time by bicyclists

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

After it was only recently fixed, bicyclists have now left their mark on a Pride flag mural painted on a South Florida street.Crews had only recently painted over some thick tire marks on the flag, and now there are skinny tire marks marring the mural, Wednesday.A surveillance video captured the bicyclists skidding out over the rainbow pattern painted on the road symbolizing LGBTQ+ Pride.Back on Feb. 28 the same cameras captured a black Ford F-250 burning tire marks on top of the mural on Sebastian Street off A1A.On Wednesday morning, a cleanup crew came to fix the damage. A few hours later it was damaged once again.“Nobody is stopping them for living their life, and they shouldn’t stop someone else,” said a woman. “There’s so many things that need to be fixed in this world that this is how people are spending their time, they need to re-prioritize.”The flag was unveiled in mid-February, and now there have been two separate occasions of people def...

Hanser Alberto makes an impression as the Chicago White Sox try to identify the right bench mix: ‘Culture’s important’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

Hanser Alberto tripled to right to begin the second inning of a March 2 Cactus League game against the Colorado Rockies.He led off the fourth with a single to center. Alberto’s third at-bat in the sixth resulted in a double.He was lifted for a pinch runner after that, so he didn’t have a shot at completing the cycle. But he continued hitting the next day with a single to center in his first at-bat against the Cincinnati Reds.Alberto, a 30-year-old infielder and non-roster invitee to Chicago White Sox camp, has put together an impressive spring, hitting .471 (8-for-17) through Tuesday.“I feel great up there,” Alberto said Sunday. “I’ve been doing a lot of work and it’s showing out there. I’m happy about it. I hope to continue to do the hard work and the results out there.“I’m going out there with a good plan and just trying to be ready to hit and put the best swing I can, and I think I’m doing it right now.”The v...

Daniel Jones was in the building to sign off on last-minute Giants contract

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

Daniel Jones was in the Giants’ facility on Tuesday, and might have actually been in the room, when the two sides hammered out their 11th hour contract extension.GM Joe Schoen and Jones said Wednesday on Zoom that they got a deal done at either 3:53 or 3:54 p.m., just minutes before the 4 p.m. franchise tag deadline. They both described a tense final hour when neither side was sure they would find a compromise.“It got a little dicey yesterday,” Schoen said. “As it was getting closer to 3:30, 3:40, there was a part of me [that felt], like, we may not get to the finish line. And in the last four or five minutes we tied a bow on it, luckily.”Jones admitted he had some doubt at times, too, including a Monday night session that got testy.“I think there were probably some points where you had more confidence and some points in time where you had less confidence,” the quarterback said, wearing a sweatshirt at the team facility one day after securin...

Possible Mets 26-man Opening Day roster

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

Spring training has been fairly uneventful for the Mets so far, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You could say the roster is starting to take shape, but that probably wouldn’t be accurate since the Major League was mostly in place before camp even opened up.The only position battle is in the bullpen. There are two spots open in the bullpen, which doesn’t exactly make for the most intriguing competition. The Mets have been relatively healthy so far with the exception being left-hander Jose Quintana, and there are plenty of replacements for his rotation spot already.The prospects have been the talk of the town this spring. Third baseman Brett Baty, third baseman/first baseman Mark Vientos, shortstop Ronny Mauricio and catcher Francisco Alvarez have all handled themselves well over the last month, with the first three showing off their hit tools and Alvarez showing improvements behind the plate.But any excitement surrounding those four should be curtailed for n...

Magic need to cut down on fouling to have better defensive performances

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

The Orlando Magic’s defense has gone through a slump over the last week, and there are multiple reasons to explain why.The absences of starting guard Gary Harris and big man Wendell Carter Jr., two of the team’s better defenders, in the last two games have hurt.“It’s always difficult losing two starters,” guard Cole Anthony said. “Those are two dudes who help our defense greatly. I’m not saying that we still can’t be a good or great defensive team but it’s an adjustment period when you just lose two dudes who are both really good defenders, start [or] play a lot of heavy minutes, and help our team out on the defensive end.”But even with those absences, the Magic are hurting themselves by committing too many fouls.Tuesday’s 134-123 home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks — who were without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and All-star guard Jrue Holiday — was another example of the Magic fouling too much.“...

Massachusetts SJC defends free speech in public comments, even of calling public figures ‘Hitler’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

The state’s highest court looked to the intentions, practices and philosophies of Founding Fathers Samuel Adams and John Adams to declare that, yes, you have the right to call public officials Hitler.“The people have a right, in an orderly and peaceable manner, to assemble … to request of the legislative body, by the way of addresses, petitions, or remonstrances, redress of the wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer,” reads Article 19 of the state’s Declaration of Rights, one of the prime documents in informing the SJC’s ruling that reversed a lower court’s decision and found that public bodies can’t bar the public from criticizing them.The article was written by none other than John Adams, the second president of the United States and the namesake of the courthouse on Pemberton Square where the state Supreme Judicial Court issued its ruling Tuesday that also found this provision, informed by John Adams’ fiery cousin Samuel Adams, “expressly envisions a poli...

Celtics’ Grant Williams speaks after missing potential game-winning foul shots at Cleveland

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:11:14 GMT

In the wake of his missed last-second free throws at Cleveland, which would have clinched a critical Celtics win Monday night, Grant Williams draws on the death threats.The death threats Williams said he received amid a serious slump in the 2020-21 season, the worst of his play bringing out the worst in fans. He remembers how he felt and then rebounded following a simple game plan.It’s the plan Williams is executing now, after declaring he would make both foul shots against the Cavs before they fell away in an eventual overtime loss that sparked an avalanche of criticism.“I’ve learned playing this sport long enough now that you can’t ever give people the satisfaction in a way,” Williams said before Wednesday’s game against Portland. “There’s always going to be somebody saying something about you. My second year, I was getting death threats. … You’ve gotta tune it out.”Williams did not meet with reporters after Monday&...
