A Deadspin "journalist" misleadingly showed a picture of a kid in profile, accusing him of wearing "blackface" at a Chiefs game. In fact, he's a face-painter, and had one side of his face painted black, and the other bright red, as Chiefs fans often do.

When called out for his nasty deceit in attempting to bring hell down on a child, he claimed that he was really doing the kid a favor by not reporting that half of his face was painted red.

For the idiots in my mentions who are treating this as some harmless act because the other side of his face was painted red, I could make the argument that it makes it even worse.

Y'all are the ones who hate Mexicans but wear sombreros on Cinco.

Some of you horny sexfans of Brian Stelter out there -- I know you call yourselves the Tater Daters -- will be upset to hear that his latest book on The Only Thing He Writes About, Fox News, is a huge failure.

Unfortunately for Stelter and his publisher, Simon & Schuster, the promotion and strong reviews have not yet turned into book sales: less than 4,000 copies were sold in its first week. ...

Mediaite has learned that Stelter's latest will not make the New York Times bestseller list. As of publishing, it is currently ranked 6,638th on Amazon's Best Sellers list, despite his numerous appearances on cable news and several podcasts, including Mediaite.

Oh Em Gosh you guys, those are Jake Tapper-level numbers! How embarrassing for the Love Spud!

Unavision propagandist Jorge Ramos: We must not interview Trump, for allowing him on the airwaves creates "discomfort and uncertainty within the newsroom."

Ramos voiced his displeasure in an interview with fellow journalist Enrique Acevedo, saying the Trump interview "put in doubt the independence of our news department, and created discomfort and uncertainty within the newsroom."

"We cannot normalize behavior that threatens democracy and the Hispanic community, or offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories," Ramos said. "We must question and fact-check everything he says and does. That's why it is very dangerous to fail to confront Trump."

Hamas is refusing to release a ten month old baby.

The Times of Israel:

The IDF's Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee indicates to Sky News that the Bibas family -- father Yarden, mother Shiri, 10-month-old baby Kfir and 4-year-old Ariel -- will not be released today from Hamas captivity.

Adraee explains that the family was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 massacre, and was then transferred to another Palestinian terror faction in Gaza. They are currently being held in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.

The Bibas family confirms that their loved ones will not be released today.

They Just Want Peace (TM).

Sky News host has an interesting take on the swap of Israeli hostages for convicted Hamas terrorists.

On Thursday, Sky News host Kay Burley pointed to Israel's willingness to free three terrorists for every Israeli hostage, before posing her bizarre question to Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy.

"I was talking to a hostage negotiator this morning [and] he made the comparison between the 50 hostages that Hamas has promised to release, as opposed to the 150 prisoners that are Palestinians that Israel has said that it will release," she stated.

"And he made the comparison between the numbers and the fact that 'Does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are not valued as highly as Israeli lives?'" she asked, referencing Israel's 3:1 swap ratio.

Unbelievable. Video:

CNN none-too-subtly suggested that weapons discovered at Al Shifa hospital had been planted there. Because they were "rearranged."

I'll keep looking for quickie items and maybe post a Quick Hits 2. I know this is pretty thin.
