Raw Story, via Pro Publica, has a story about Marvel Entertainment chairman Ike Perlmutter using his 'shadow' influence over the VA to promote Marvel. Sounds nasty, but exhibit of of this nefarious influence peddling is this ridiculous video of Captain America and Spider-Man joining the VA in ringing the NYSE closing bell: https://youtu.be/NqNCftPe2jo

Sure, there's undoubtedly impropriety here - Perlmutter and Donald Trump pretty much live and breathe corruption - but I fail to see any injury caused here, and in this age of a presidency run amok, a pandemic being ignored, and a race-baiting war on civilians - how is this a story on anything other than my silly podcast? Please, if you see something worth remarking on here, let me know. I personally think we have far, far bigger concerns and I'm surprised to see Pro Publica wasting their journalistic resources on this fishing expedition.
