I guess the KBTX AI doesn't realize that Louisiana has parishes and not counties.

It is not the unpaid (or underpaid) intern that wrote the story, it is the paid professional(?) fact checkers/editors at KBTX (if there are any) that are at fault.

Do not feel bad, MSNOW does not have any fact checkers either. ; )

They're not big on publicizing when burn bans end. Only when they start.

Don't know Rusty, but I would think 18million Italian Americans would think it is ok.
Rusty just wants to start a conversation. (The last gasp of a liberal when they know they are wrong)

Let's see what ChatGPT has to say.

Quote:

Did Trump place a statue of Christopher Columbus near the White House or is this just a click-bait headline?


Quote:

Short answer: it's not clickbait something real did happen, but the headline can be a little misleading depending on how it's phrased.

  • In March 2026, a 13-foot statue of Christopher Columbus was installed on the White House grounds.
  • More specifically, it's next to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is part of the White House complex (right beside it, not the main lawn).
  • The statue is a reconstruction of one that was torn down in Baltimore in 2020 during protests.
  • It was gifted/loaned by an Italian-American organization, not newly commissioned from scratch by the government.
Why the headlines feel "click-baity"
Some headlines make it sound like:
  • Trump personally "plopped a statue on the White House lawn"
But the more accurate nuance is:
  • It's on the broader White House campus, not literally in front of the Oval Office
  • It was gifted and installed with outside group involvement
  • It's part of a broader push to highlight certain historical figures ahead of the U.S. 250th anniversary.

Headline from the 20th on KBTX.

College student fatally shot by masked man while walking with friends, police say

Happened in Chicago but since you are based in a college town. You got a massive amount of clicks. It gets really old what they do.

Now he going on and on about Trump voting by mail in Florida.

Never mind that Florida's mail in voting is tightly controlled and is considered to be one of the most secure vote by mail systems in the US. It is no where remotely close to the mass mail in ballots Trump and Republicans oppose.

And it took them 3 days to post an article saying the guy is an illegal alien from Venezuela.

Did anyone catch the 5 KBTX news. Did I hear Rusty say oil prices are up over $100/barrel?

There is this thing called GOOGLE that can actually tell you the price of oil on a minute by minute basis. Maybe you should try it Rusty.

I doubt he knows the difference between Brent and WTI....he's looking at Brent. It wouldn't matter though. He'd go with whatever fits the narrative.
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.

The Brent was at $96... Apparently the BBC also has reading comprehension.

that's strange. I see almost $105 right now for Brent and $88 for WTI.

Yall have some unrealistic expectations for someone in the major with the lowest SAT average at most universities. Asking him to understand WTI, Brent, Henry Hub and more is an unrealistic bridge too far.

That's fair, but make no mistake, KBTX and every other news station is all about clickbait stories and headlines…the producer and Rusty know what they are doing. Too many people are too lazy or just get their "news" from KBTX.

Unfortunately, to try and halfway keep up with local news, I do give KBTX clicks because the Bryan Eagle is so bad, worthless, in fact. WTAW is my first check and then KBTX. What other source is there for local news?

Bill Oliver and WTAW are pretty much it when it comes to real reporting.

I use TxAgs and my own common sense (which I must admit has failed me on numerous occasions).
