So reports Axios. The question, of course, is who gets to decide what “political” content is? There’s more than one way to put your thumb on the scale…

Many programmers probably use this site already, but in case you haven’t seen it: check out RegEx101.com. An all purpose regular expression editor and tester, it’s my go-to for help when I’m doing anything that’s just slightly complicated with regexes.

ESPN, Fox, and Warner announced they are creating a unified sports streaming bundle that will be available later this year. Notably missing: NBC.
