New York Times opens the media floodgates on stories about Trump’s mental unfitness
The New York Times has finally weighed in on the subject of Donald Trump’s mental unfitness. The New York Times is by far the most influential news organization in the media ecosphere. By publishing this story, it has created a permission structure for others to more directly address the issue of Trump’s mental fitness. As I wrote, perhaps a bit prematurely a few weeks ago, Trump’s mental capacity is now topic one. It’s long past time for that to end, as the New York Times has now made clear.

Calif. Ballot Measure Targets Drug Discount Program Spending
Health Brief Health Brief is a coproduction of The Washington Post and KFF Health News. SUBSCRIBE NOWVoters are being asked whether California should increase accountability in the 340B drug discount program, which provides money for community clinics, safety net hospitals and other nonprofit health-care providers. Advocates pushing the measure, Proposition 34, say some entities are using the drug discount program as a slush fund, plowing money into housing and homelessness initiatives that don’t meet basic patient safety standards. Instead, it targets providers that spend more than $100 million on purposes other than direct patient care over 10 years. It would mandate that 98 percentof 340B revenues go to direct patient care.

Is streaming really a ‘terrible business?’ It depends whom you ask
One question this column frequently asks is: Is streaming a good business? Malone’s answer, relayed by Moffett in a recent report, was a definitive “no.”“It’s a terrible business,” Malone said, according to the analyst. Paramount Global eked out a $26-million quarterly profit from its streaming operations, Paramount+ and free Pluto TV. Still, some observers caution that Netflix’s recent growth streak is likely to taper off. Discovery and its streaming business, composed of Max and Discovery+, isn’t anywhere near that.
