I love this city, but this sister city stuff is absolutely humiliating

Sad, very explicit example of how severe the lack of due diligence is among Newark admin. I'm confused as to how so they can lack money management, integrity, and respect while holding these positions. Our city has such potential but alas I'm ashamed.

Any city that got tricked like Newark did deserves all the jokes. I mean it's literally a 5 minute google search and someone would have found out this cult was bs. What I think happened is some Mayor staff thought it would look amazing on a press release and did it without research

It's everywhere haha. I've got friends from CA texting me about it.

It's fine with me tbh. That's what happens with this leadership. I've never co-signed this administration.

Nityananda has history of legal troubles and controversies, including allegations of sexual assault, fraud, and illegal detention. It's also pretty absurd to hear about his self-proclaimed 'Hindu nation' called Kailasa, which isn't recognized by any government in the world and seems to be based on questionable principles. He flew away from India to evade the legal cases against him. Pretty disappointed that mayor office didn't notice this.

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one OP posted), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.nj.com/entertainment/2023/03/njs-kal-penn-hosting-daily-show-riffs-on-sister-city-scam-that-duped-newark.html

Baraka is LAZY and DUMB. Newark has improved because we have all come together and made it better. Baraka can’t take credit, he’s getting free lunch all over town.

If you’re going to hate on Fox News you have to hate on CNN. They are both equally Extreme

This is only if you need a credible source but if you watch CNN you’ll see that they are less about investigative journalism and more about instilling left wing views and being anti-Republican at times when it is not warranted

Washington times is a right wing rag dude. You need to stop consuming such obviously biased media.

You can go look at Wikipedia, Wall Street Journal if you’d like. Liberal Media never bashes liberal media either

What does Liberia have to do with it?

Frequent_Blackberry6 t1_jcm2e6o wrote

‘Liberal’. I support Informative Media.

Billionaires control the Media:

MSNBC was Bill Gates and Jack Welch of GE coming together. Gates has msn.com. Bezos has Washington Post, Zuckerberg has Social Media, Elon Musk got Twitter, can’t forget about Rupert Murdoch and Bloomberg,Ted Turner’s got CNN, Dolan has a whole cable company

Reddit is not looking bad right now, irrespective of Alexis Ohanian being the billionaire owner

So you think that we should curtail the rights of billionaires?

I believe California does. But what does that have to do with anything?

There should be diversity in the city leadership, with people who could easily call this bullshit out without much research

The only thing more embarassing that signing a sister city agreement with a fake country is openly admitting that you watch Fox News.

LoL dude gets heavily down voted for mentioning Fox news. You revolutionaries gotta lighten up a bit, life's too short, and Marxist global unification will not occur during your window.

For the record, F Fox news. But, it's not that serious.

You’re straying too far from the pack They don’t like that

I agree with you, fuck Fox News. But at least they will report on this. It happened in January and media still hasn’t talked about it? 🤔

Echos_myron123 OP t1_jch3oah wrote

A ton of media outlets have reported on it now. Fox News was far from the first and they are just using this scandal as a way to bash a majority black city, which is why nobody is taking them seriously.

I enjoy flipping through the various channels. Sometimes one or the other reports on an actual story the others won't touch. It's amusing.
