- British comic Sean Lock, hailed by fellow funnyman Ricky Gervais as “one of the most influential comedians of a generation,” has died after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 58.

- Leading in the polls and fundraising amid a crowded field in the campaign to try to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, talk radio personality Larry Elder has launched a time-honored new front in the California recall election: bashing the media. Elder has banned one of the state’s top newspapers from covering his events and refused to take questions from a Los Angeles Times opinion columnist, depicting himself as a victim of duplicity and unfairness.  This is what some right-wing politicians do when confronted with facts that contradict what they say, or address issues that they have provided controversial answers to.  They, like D. Trump, just ban that media from their events.  Hey we can't talk about facts and the truth, can we?   Elder sharply rejected LA Times columnist Jean Guerrero when she tried to ask him a question about immigration during a video interview with opinion editors and writers from the newspaper. The candidate’s spokeswoman accused the writer of engaging in “bigotry masquerading as journalism.”  Give us a break would you please?
