Did Dr. Fauci create Covid-19? Get ready for more dangerous nonsense from the racist dumbbells in your life. If you have yet to block Channel 10 on Nana’s TV, now would be a good time. From WashPo: After facing intense scrutiny for planning to air a baseless conspiracy theory that infectious-disease expert Anthony S. Fauci …

The Providence Business News reports that, according to an asset purchase agreement filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the new owners of the Providence Journal will be looking to cut up to 40 employees from the payroll. In other words, the buyer, GateHouse affiliate and New Media Investment Group subsidiary LMG Rhode Island …
Dear Santa — Please send Providence a benevolent, progressive, billionaire anxious to burnish his/her reputation and create a new respectable legacy for the family name. The sale comes as no real surprise given recent noises and maneuvers by the parent corporation, A.H. Belo of Texas, which is currently in negotiations with its largest union, the …
According to Channel 10 News a study from ClimateCentral.org indicates that Rhode Island’s climate is warming at a faster rate than any other state. (Coming in at number two is Massachusetts.)

According to the New York Times, A national syndicate will offer replacement “Doonesbury” comic strips to newspapers that don’t want to run a series that uses graphic imagery to lampoon a Texas law requiring women to have an ultrasound before an abortion, executives said Friday. A handful of newspapers say they would not run this …

But not according to the ProJo headline writer. While this is a sad story, it does after all involve a 91-year-old woman. Balance is a chronic problem of the elderly with most falls occurring in the home. Also, poor hearing often contributes to being easily startled. Further, the deceased spent several days of rehab in …
One of those flubs that only the Projo’s editors could pull off: They’ve posted this photo of their own reporter, Phil Marcello, as the graphic for a story about State Representative Mike Marcello, which is written by Kathy Gregg, who’s Phil’s boss.
The Projo thought it had the real news so well-covered that it made sense to run this ridiculous story on Quinci Eacueo’s opulent sweet sixteen a couple of weeks ago. It stirred up a violent (and predictable) backlash. Legitimate response: questioning the priorities of her parents, and the example it sets for her and her …
Friday’s debate of the democratic candidates for attorney general ran on Channel 12 tonight. Former Providence city solicitor Joseph Fernandez was the only candidate who said he might be in favor of the decriminalization of possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Staff writer Tom Mooney has a great story on the front page of today’s Providence Journal about democratic Congressional District 1 candidate David Segal and his grass roots campaign.

The ‘Race to the Top’ $75 million jackpot was announced on Tuesday to great fanfare. The Channel 10 graphics department (read: intern) helped illustrate just how urgently these funds are needed.
Their motto, “Honest, Fair, Everywhere”. Accurate? Not so much. For a few days now abc6 has been opening its “Shark Watch” segments with footage of an enormous orca, or killer whale, snagging a seal. (This is clearly seen when viewed on television.) Why not just show that footage of the crocodile pulling the wildebeest into …
Look: I like the ProJo. I agree with many (not all) of the editorials and like most (not all) of the writers. I’d love to see more ProJo writers cover local stories, as they’re good at what they do. It’s a decent publication. But it’s driving me nuts. We recently received a “guess what!” postcard …
The Phoenix has just released its annual list of the 100 Unsexiest Men of the year, and while the list is mostly made up of people who are unquestionably unsexy (The Pope, Jay Leno, the toad from Owl City) there are a few surprises on there. Like Aziz Ansari, 25-year old actor/comedian who plays Tom …
