India
According to CNN and the Houston Chronical: There is a show tiger named India (a big one) that's been missing for the past few weeks that's now back between bars.

It's another one of those shoot-em-up Houston stories that actually has a happy ending (for a change).

Mrs. Mo
None yet, hon, but it's to be expected because my link was from the Red-neck, money grubbing Houston Chronical.

there not the only ones
in order to read the New York times articles you have to sign up also. It does not cost anything but, they barrage you with adds and track your on/line searches. When i got the covid vaccine i did it at Walgreens. Now i get adds every F-IN Day of the week on their sales inventory.

Bengal tiger is back into custody.
youtu.be
Is the tiger more dangerous than MS 13 gang members who are crossing our southern US border freely? So far, the tiger appears to be well tamed and harmless but we will never know if he gets hungry. I can't control a pussy cat let alone a tiger as pet. Texas law allows tiger as pet if the owner can get proper permit. IMHO, it is very dangerous to own a tiger in residential neighborhood.

Thank God, the tiger was not euthanized. The owner is arrested. Who will take care of his tiger ? The tiger is an endangered specie and should be donated to a zoo.

NYT is a stooge and organ of Democrat political propaganda.
Trust in me because I am a swing voter. I will vote a politician who ever can perform better and the voting history of US proves this fact. That is, swing voters prevail in US election. Believe it or not. I voted POTUS Carter and Obama. Carter is very sincere and honest but his foreign policy was hijacked by Arabs whose oil embargo for supporting Israel crippled our economy and by Iran who held American embassy staff hostage until Reagan was elected. I voted Obama because Bush made a wrong decision by invading and getting rid of Saddam Hussein. It destabilizes the region. ME is still in chaos with many people displaced internally and externally from wars.

IMO, My advice is to make a fair and balanced view, read and listen to both sides of the issue in question. NYT support Democrats. For example, FBI and CIA leak the confidential news to NYT while Mueller is investigating. NYT, Twitter and Facebook banned Hunter's Biden corruption that was discovered on his laptop. Only after election when Trump was defeated, DOJ Bared acknowledged that FBI was investigating his tax evasion.

If I want NYT's opinion, I would rather go to public library and read it there. I don't have any newspaper subscription. I believe they are becoming extinct. I usually get the information from wikipedia, by googling and youtube but the problem with giant google who owns youtube support Democrat.

Having seen that you read and trust Newsmax, Fox and RT, I’ll stick with real journalism in the NYTimes and Washington Post. Wall Street Journal, BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera and the Guardian are worth reading.

I pay for the WaPo too. I feel it’s important to support journalistic excellence.

India is safe but the real India is still ravaging by virus.

The tiger's name is India. He is in custody and will be sent to animal shelter. The owner is charged with unrelated murder chargers committed in 2017. Please watch the above youtube videos. The family pampered the tiger like a pussy cat.

Sigfried and Roy, the legend of two magicians

At Las Vegas, they used the tigers at their magic shows. Finally, Sigfried was mauled by well tamed tiger on the stage. He became disabled and their magician career ended. It is interesting to see their performance but if the raging tiger get loose into their audience, what will happen ? You can imagine it will be a big disaster.

Your message clearly says that the news media is split into two camps, Democrat and GOP. This kind of behavior is despicable .The news media is supposed to be neutral and should not be biased in favor of one party over another. When the news media is biased, how can we make fair and balanced judgment ? That is the reason, we should read, listen and watch both sides of the news media before we post messages in GK or others.

Washington post is bought and owned by Amazon Jeff Bezos who is a Democrat. The post attacks Trump and GOP quite often. Nowadays, the news media are owned by media moguls who are affiliated with either party and therefore their news reflect the opinions of either party. There are good independent journalists but they cannot compete with rich media moguls to express independent opinions and so they have to join with the moguls' media organization and become the mouthpiece of the media who own it. The journalists are becoming like well trained dogs who will bark and attack the persons whom the owner want to assault. It can be other way around also. For example, NY governor Cuomo was praised for handling of CV crisis on TV and was awarded Emmy award. Later, people find out that he lied about the actual number of 15,000 CV deaths in nursing homes of NY.
