A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
For anyone who’s observed Fox News media reporter Howard Kurtz (no relation) over the years, this is a comedy-rich situation.
What in blazes is an “anti ESG push”? It’s paywalled WSJ and I am SMH.
Haven’t learned a thing
These 51 big businesses target conservatives. Here’s what you can do to stop them | Fox News

Kancel Kurtz Kulture!!
I had to look it up and it is anti environmental, social, and governance. It is a way to measure a company’s impact. As you might expect, environmental criteria measure a company’s environmental footprint.
Extra sensory gastronomics?
ESG = Environmental, social, and Governance
I don’t know how you decide if their programming is part of a new “anti-esg effort” vs the regularly scheduled fox hate and fear mongering.
Censorship is good some of the time, even for a network that rails against censorship all of the time.
Howie Kurtz is a day late and a dollar short. This cry for help means zilch. He’s beyond compromised. Shut up and walk away, Howie!
AATROAE!
(Acronyms are the root of all evil.)
I guess the significant piece in all of this is the Georgia GJ. It could still be a while.
And EmptyG will be in control of the GQP for the foreseeable future. No one is going to cross her. She’s made herself, with the complicity of Qevin, into the dungeon master for the party.
He is, but Tucker…
A conservative nonprofit called Marble Freedom Trust and its consulting firm, CRC Advisors, are leading the anti-ESG push and have spent more than $10 million on the effort so far, mostly through the group Consumers’ Research, people familiar with the spending said.
“Consumers’ Research”, huh. Totally not leveraging the credibility of Consumer Reports, are they?
My son is an ESG investor. He does well. I would be an ESG investor also too but you need to actually have money for that.
Yesterday there was word that a Russian AWAC stationed in Belarus will no longer be in service for a very long time or if ever again, and it looks like the resistance to Lukashenko’s government are taking responsibility for the destruction to the aircraft. They used drones on the attack at the airbase where the AWAC was parked. There is major damage to the cockpit and the middle of the aircraft. Russia had nine of these aircrafts and if the resistance is correct that they destroyed this one that means Russia is down to eight of this type of aircraft. The dollar value of the plane is $300,000,000 and the loss to the war against Ukraine is huge since there is no Russian eyes and ears in that area monitoring Ukraine’s airspace.
Will This Be Indictment Week In Georgia?
Willis hasn’t even impaneled the new grand jury yet, right?
So I would say…no.
I’ll be surprised if it happens before late April.
And it doesn’t worry me one little bit.
The longer Trump is out there free-ranging it as the party leader, the worse off the R’s will be for 2024.
Well at least I got the cat picture. The rest was mostly??? As an editorial matter of business, if an abbreviation is assigned to something, spell it out before using it in the article. A few of us will always be left guessing.
Yeah, I’d say that part of that linked article was premature by at least a week.
