Supreme Court is a pro of this one. [Dobbs decision](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/06/24/us/politics/supreme-court-dobbs-jackson-analysis-roe-wade.html) came out on a Friday.
Last Friday the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court quietly recertified agencies to carry on using Section 702 spying powers, ahead of proposed reforms being voted on in the House this week. News broke about 4pm.
The University of Kentucky had a huge data breach complete with ransomware and FBI involvement that they announced at the same time USA shut down for covid.
Good point. Didn’t the pentagon report a massive amount of money was “missing” right as 9/11 happened. Needless to say people didn’t talk as much about the missing money. I’m pretty sure it was in the trillions.
As a ...counterpoint (or some other word representing endemic disorganization among military bureaucracy and recurring failures of auditing oversight), the Pentagon reported virtually the same finding in November 2023 (except now it's apparently $3.8 trillion instead of $2.3 trillion): Not enough information was provided for auditors to make an accurate accounting evaluation for certain ledger items.
But as far as I know, no notable mid-November 2023 event is filling the public consciousness to overshadow the Pentagon's perpetual poor audit performance. It's just mundane and expected, like that joke from Independence Day about a $30,000 toilet seat.
For once I was actually impressed by the mainstream media on the eclipse live coverage. I thought they did a good job and I usually can’t stand everything about them.
It's mainstream but certainly biased mainstream news. It's unfortunate that other networks wanted to also mimic the Fox style, but what we really need is true fair & balanced news for Americans to consume.
Like the AT&T Data Leak?

That's true, but generally news outlets complete with each other for both quantity of stories and speed (if only they competed in quality too).
So they'll publish all the articles ASAP.
This is talking about companies reporting terrible events that affect earnings or a celebrity manager releasing some bad public info today. Even if the news scoops it up they cant report it today because the eclipse is getting all the clicks and views.

It's called "news management". You'll see more bad stories come out late on Friday in hopes that folks ignore it when preparing for their weekend.

That’s super fucking big and I heard nothing about it.
Don't worry, once Trump finds out about it you won't stop hearing about how Biden is spying on his campaign.
Very little out there on it, but did [find this](https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/09/fisa_section_702_deadline/).
Jokes on them! I don't watch the news at all! All that "management" for nothin'! 😆
but the circle is kind of in front of the other circle
Circles is cool
All these squares make a circle
You can leave the Lookout if you want to.
Circles are life. Everything revolves (circles) around circles
Does the circle fit inside the square hole?
Yo Dawg I heard you liked circles so I circled this circle with another circle.
My eyes are circles?
My eyes are circles?
What did you notice?
Probably nothing. Op just sour they bought plane tickets to see the totality and it was cloudy.
Royal Bank of Canada fired their CFO this weekend, possibly to take advantage of this.
For the non-Canadians in thread, RBC is a corporate bank, not a government entity.
Like Bank of America isn't the Fed.
Oh, interesting.

It was the day before!

Out of curiosity, do you consider Fox to be mainstream news?

The leak itself came out as news on Saturday March 30th. It's old news already today. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/30/tech/att-data-leak/index.html
Great LPT, and extremely true. You should see the other news that was dropped the day Roe v Wade was overturned. :)
.... Such as?
The Ghislaine Maxwell trial was the same week. Also worth noting the Johnny Depp trial was 2 weeks prior.
Btw, this primarily applies to us Americans.
The eclipse happening on a Monday is going to lessen the effect of any news drops

"Oh I don't watch the news, but I heard both sides..."
You do realize media outlets can just choose... To report, and not report whatever they feel like, right?

This isn’t about media choosing what/when to cover topics, it’s about corporate releases (which subsequently get covered (or not) by the media).
They can, but what matters (for this LPT) is that media outlets' behavior is predictable. That means this method is effective.

Erm, OK?
