What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere is the latest: President Trump took a swipe at Elon Musk's intelligence, even though Musk has put two hundred seventy-six million dollars into Republican campaigns.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo hundred seventy-six million dollars, and the thanks is an insult. That's the whole donor relationship in one sentence, and I'm delighted.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorToday the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks host the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, and Denver is hoping to topple them.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAlso, Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez says anger and frustration after the loss to Atletico Madrid led to his dig at the club's board over transfer spending.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo he was angry, and the board was listening.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAngry people say the truest things, Hank. That's why it's a very short apology.
