Fake news is not a problem unique to Facebook, but Facebook’s enormous audience, and the mechanisms of distribution on which the site relies — i.e., the emotionally charged activity of sharing, and the show-me-more-like-this feedback loop of the news feed algorithm — makes it the only site to support a genuinely lucrative market in which shady publishers arbitrage traffic by enticing people off of Facebook and onto ad-festooned websites, using stories that are alternately made up, incorrect, exaggerated beyond all relationship to truth, or all three.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As an example of fake news, Read references \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/how-macedonia-became-a-global-hub-for-pro-trump-misinfo?utm_term=.islz5vWwg#.gt8bPyD7v\" target=\"_blank\">this article on Macedonian teenagers creating blatantly false content to dupe American Facebook users\u003c/a>, in particular Trump supporters, to receive Google AdSense revenue each time an outbound link is clicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in its quest to swallow every part of the internet, Facebook incentivizes media outlets to publish their content -- video, images, text -- directly to Facebook. How's that going?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/magazine/inside-facebooks-totally-insane-unintentionally-gigantic-hyperpartisan-political-media-machine.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not so well. We all see blatantly biased or false stories shared on Facebook, and here, the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>’ John Herrman looks at the companies behind many of them. \"They have names like Occupy Democrats; The Angry Patriot; US Chronicle; Addicting Info; RightAlerts; Being Liberal; Opposing Views; Fed-Up Americans; American News; and hundreds more. Some of these pages have millions of followers; many have hundreds of thousands,\" he writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>And unlike traditional media organizations, which have spent years trying to figure out how to lure readers out of the Facebook ecosystem and onto their sites, these new publishers are happy to live inside the world that Facebook has created. Their pages are accommodated but not actively courted by the company and are not a major part of its public messaging about media. But they are, perhaps, the purest expression of Facebook’s design and of the incentives coded into its algorithm — a system that has already reshaped the web and has now inherited, for better or for worse, a great deal of America’s political discourse.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Importantly, Facebook isn't combatting this glut of fake news. You probably remember how, in response to the conservative outcry over Facebook's trending topics, Facebook \u003ca href=\"http://qz.com/768122/facebook-fires-human-editors-moves-to-algorithm-for-trending-topics/\" target=\"_blank\">eliminated human editors altogether\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-election-media-20161109-story.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>, David Pierson makes the case that considering Facebook's huge influence, it needs to start taking responsibility for what it publishes. Of course, according to Facebook, \u003cem>its users \u003c/em>are doing the publishing -- shielding Facebook from libel and defamation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“If their goal is to simply retain user engagement by reaffirming everything users already believe without challenging them, then there are real consequences. They need to own up to that,” said Gabriel Kahn, co-director of the Media, Economics and Entrepreneurship program at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahn said the proliferation of fake news reminded him of what the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan often liked to say: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But another problem isn't necessarily the fake stories on Facebook. It's what Facebook chooses to show you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles?language=en\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet was once idealized as the free exchange of different, sometimes uncomfortable ideas; Facebook has made it a constant soothing reflection of one's own beliefs and interests. This idea is not new -- here's a TED Talk from Eli Pariser about the online \"filter bubble\" from \u003cem>five whole years ago\u003c/em>. It's very odd to watch this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essentially, Facebook's algorithm takes the posts from our already-curated circle or friends, and then filters them to show us what it thinks we want to see. (The \u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> created \u003ca href=\"http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed/\" target=\"_blank\">an eye-opening tool\u003c/a> that presents only \"red\" and \"blue\" Facebook feeds; \u003ca href=\"http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed/\" target=\"_blank\">try it out\u003c/a>.) One of the narratives that arose quickly after Tuesday night was the so-called elite urban left's inability to engage with the disenfranchised rural right. On an individual level, this means Clinton supporters felt safe in their Facebook bubble, unaware of the size and passion of Trump supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when your Democratic friends take pundits to task for not accurately predicting Trump's chances of winning -- \u003cem>if only we'd known, we might have fought harder\u003c/em>, they think -- they also have to re-think Facebook's role in nurturing their feeling of security. According to their timeline, there was no threat. Trump was going to lose. Everybody on their timeline said so!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might have been good news for them. Meanwhile, on the other side of the divide supported by a feel-good algorithm, Trump supporters consumed their own news -- in \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/10/facebook-fake-news-election-conspiracy-theories\" target=\"_blank\">varying degrees of truthiness\u003c/a> -- on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"q-logo_-break\" width=\"768\" height=\"75\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47261\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>UPDATE:\u003c/strong> Mark Zuckerberg has responded.

Fake news is not a problem unique to Facebook, but Facebook’s enormous audience, and the mechanisms of distribution on which the site relies — i.e., the emotionally charged activity of sharing, and the show-me-more-like-this feedback loop of the news feed algorithm — makes it the only site to support a genuinely lucrative market in which shady publishers arbitrage traffic by enticing people off of Facebook and onto ad-festooned websites, using stories that are alternately made up, incorrect, exaggerated beyond all relationship to truth, or all three.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As an example of fake news, Read references \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/how-macedonia-became-a-global-hub-for-pro-trump-misinfo?utm_term=.islz5vWwg#.gt8bPyD7v\" target=\"_blank\">this article on Macedonian teenagers creating blatantly false content to dupe American Facebook users\u003c/a>, in particular Trump supporters, to receive Google AdSense revenue each time an outbound link is clicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How's that going?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/magazine/inside-facebooks-totally-insane-unintentionally-gigantic-hyperpartisan-political-media-machine.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not so well. We all see blatantly biased or false stories shared on Facebook, and here, the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>’ John Herrman looks at the companies behind many of them. \"They have names like Occupy Democrats; The Angry Patriot; US Chronicle; Addicting Info; RightAlerts; Being Liberal; Opposing Views; Fed-Up Americans; American News; and hundreds more. Some of these pages have millions of followers; many have hundreds of thousands,\" he writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>And unlike traditional media organizations, which have spent years trying to figure out how to lure readers out of the Facebook ecosystem and onto their sites, these new publishers are happy to live inside the world that Facebook has created. Their pages are accommodated but not actively courted by the company and are not a major part of its public messaging about media. But they are, perhaps, the purest expression of Facebook’s design and of the incentives coded into its algorithm — a system that has already reshaped the web and has now inherited, for better or for worse, a great deal of America’s political discourse.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Importantly, Facebook isn't combatting this glut of fake news. You probably remember how, in response to the conservative outcry over Facebook's trending topics, Facebook \u003ca href=\"http://qz.com/768122/facebook-fires-human-editors-moves-to-algorithm-for-trending-topics/\" target=\"_blank\">eliminated human editors altogether\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-election-media-20161109-story.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>, David Pierson makes the case that considering Facebook's huge influence, it needs to start taking responsibility for what it publishes. Of course, according to Facebook, \u003cem>its users \u003c/em>are doing the publishing -- shielding Facebook from libel and defamation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“If their goal is to simply retain user engagement by reaffirming everything users already believe without challenging them, then there are real consequences. They need to own up to that,” said Gabriel Kahn, co-director of the Media, Economics and Entrepreneurship program at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahn said the proliferation of fake news reminded him of what the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan often liked to say: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But another problem isn't necessarily the fake stories on Facebook. It's what Facebook chooses to show you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles?language=en\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet was once idealized as the free exchange of different, sometimes uncomfortable ideas; Facebook has made it a constant soothing reflection of one's own beliefs and interests. This idea is not new -- here's a TED Talk from Eli Pariser about the online \"filter bubble\" from \u003cem>five whole years ago\u003c/em>. It's very odd to watch this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essentially, Facebook's algorithm takes the posts from our already-curated circle or friends, and then filters them to show us what it thinks we want to see. (The \u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> created \u003ca href=\"http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed/\" target=\"_blank\">an eye-opening tool\u003c/a> that presents only \"red\" and \"blue\" Facebook feeds; \u003ca href=\"http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed/\" target=\"_blank\">try it out\u003c/a>.) One of the narratives that arose quickly after Tuesday night was the so-called elite urban left's inability to engage with the disenfranchised rural right. On an individual level, this means Clinton supporters felt safe in their Facebook bubble, unaware of the size and passion of Trump supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when your Democratic friends take pundits to task for not accurately predicting Trump's chances of winning -- \u003cem>if only we'd known, we might have fought harder\u003c/em>, they think -- they also have to re-think Facebook's role in nurturing their feeling of security. According to their timeline, there was no threat. Trump was going to lose. Everybody on their timeline said so!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might have been good news for them. Meanwhile, on the other side of the divide supported by a feel-good algorithm, Trump supporters consumed their own news -- in \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/10/facebook-fake-news-election-conspiracy-theories\" target=\"_blank\">varying degrees of truthiness\u003c/a> -- on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"q-logo_-break\" width=\"768\" height=\"75\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47261\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>UPDATE:\u003c/strong> Mark Zuckerberg has responded.

By his account, he was lying on the living-room couch in the dark, listening to election returns on the radio. It seemed the vote might be going for Truman over his Republican challenger, Thomas Dewey of New York. But an announcer mentioned the Chicago Tribune was already calling the race and that an early edition declaring Dewey the winner was on the street. Dad said he went out to a newsstand and bought a copy just as a Tribune delivery driver was trying to retrieve the early edition. That's the copy pictured above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things I noticed when I was a kid looking at that front page was how little evidence the Tribune had to declare a winner. Much of the South looked like a lock for States' Rights (and segregationist) candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/dixiecrats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strom Thurmond\u003c/a>. The Trib's front-page copy mentioned polls were still open in most of the country, and where voting was over, the count was so preliminary -- well, you just have to admire the power of wishful thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course the Tribune had to be first with the news: Its owner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/07/13/reviews/mccormick-obit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colonel Robert R. McCormick\u003c/a>, was an arch-anti-Democrat and sworn foe of FDR and everything he stood for. A 1936 story on the Democratic National Convention was headlined, \"The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia.\" A subhead in this 1948 edition's lead election story reads, \"New Deal Repudiated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11164966\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11164966\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\" alt=\"A detail of the Chicago Tribune's 1948 'Dewey Defeats Truman' front page showing inverted copy.

Several lines of type in the lead story's second paragraph were inserted upside down. Also, the first three pages seem to be cast in a \"typewriter\" Courier typeface that appears slapdash and irregular, with some lines askew and poorly spaced; the type is different from the interior pages, which are set in what I assume was the paper's regular typeface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(After some research, the explanation appears to be that the paper's typesetters were on strike and that the lines in question were indeed typed, then cut and pasted somehow, then photographed for reproduction on the press.

By his account, he was lying on the living-room couch in the dark, listening to election returns on the radio. It seemed the vote might be going for Truman over his Republican challenger, Thomas Dewey of New York. But an announcer mentioned the Chicago Tribune was already calling the race and that an early edition declaring Dewey the winner was on the street. Dad said he went out to a newsstand and bought a copy just as a Tribune delivery driver was trying to retrieve the early edition. That's the copy pictured above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things I noticed when I was a kid looking at that front page was how little evidence the Tribune had to declare a winner. Much of the South looked like a lock for States' Rights (and segregationist) candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/dixiecrats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strom Thurmond\u003c/a>. The Trib's front-page copy mentioned polls were still open in most of the country, and where voting was over, the count was so preliminary -- well, you just have to admire the power of wishful thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course the Tribune had to be first with the news: Its owner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/07/13/reviews/mccormick-obit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colonel Robert R. McCormick\u003c/a>, was an arch-anti-Democrat and sworn foe of FDR and everything he stood for. A 1936 story on the Democratic National Convention was headlined, \"The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia.\" A subhead in this 1948 edition's lead election story reads, \"New Deal Repudiated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11164966\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11164966\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\" alt=\"A detail of the Chicago Tribune's 1948 'Dewey Defeats Truman' front page showing inverted copy.

Several lines of type in the lead story's second paragraph were inserted upside down. Also, the first three pages seem to be cast in a \"typewriter\" Courier typeface that appears slapdash and irregular, with some lines askew and poorly spaced; the type is different from the interior pages, which are set in what I assume was the paper's regular typeface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Will Ross and Pinky Ring just get the adultery over with already? Will Demelza respond by pulling a Lorena Bobbitt? Will Agatha loudly proclaim her undying devotion to alcohol again? Will Horace the Pug get lost and embark on a \u003cem>Homeward Bound\u003c/em>-esque journey with Demelza's pup and Malfoy's uncle's pooch? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking news alert! The French chopped off Marie Antoinette's husband's head! Everyone in Cornwall is freaking out over the overseas drama, but Ross' War BFF (the dude who is constantly in uniform) will not let some pesky revolution distract him from jailing all the illegal traders -- with the help of the secret informer.

Cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At chez Ross, Demelza is sawing wood and imagining that she's sawing into Ross and Pinky Ring's faces. Her voodoo wood-mutilation is cut short by two approaching men. Demelza orders Garrick the Dog (OMG, he's alive!) to attack them. The men are like, \u003cem>Woah, woah! It's us! Ross' illegal trading buddies!\u003c/em> Demelza is like, \u003cem>I know.

Now I need to know the real-life details of Horace the Pug and Malfoy's uncle's dog. These three are quickly becoming my favorite part of this show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, let's move beyond canines (for now) and see what Ross is up to. Oh, the same thing as every other episode: sucking at mining. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ross needs to cut his losses and convert his mine into a a spot for hipsters to buy overpriced avocado toast and fresh-pressed juices. He'll never have to worry about money again!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at home, Demelza continues to yell at the illegal traders to get their crap from under the floorboards and:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/tumblr_n0bbjpmUtQ1s7hg3xo1_400.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45886\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/tumblr_n0bbjpmUtQ1s7hg3xo1_400.gif\" alt=\"tumblr_n0bbjpmutq1s7hg3xo1_400\" width=\"350\" height=\"279\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's check back in with Ross.

But maybe this is a good thing. Ross can get his stupid ass caught and go to prison, paving the way for \u003cem>Poldark\u003c/em> to become all about Demelza and the three dogs.

I don't care either way, as long as I get a shot of Horace the Pug serving as the ring-bearer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More details about the smuggling run: Ross is going all the way to France (I guess ticket prices dropped, thanks to all the social unrest and beheadings and such). His mission will be to find that dude from Season 1 who strangled his cheating wife to death and ask his advice on which part of the mine might actually have copper. This storyline is embarrassing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In town, Malfoy runs into Ross. Despite my immense desire for one of them to slap the other with a glove, they just mean mug each other and walk away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malfoy returns home and orders his Slytherin Crony to go to Pinky Ring's house at once. He's supposed to scare her with details of the French Revolution so that she comes running for Malfoy's help, but it doesn't quite work out that way. She instead writes to Ross because home-wreckers gonna home-wreck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agatha, on the other hand, doesn't need a man for protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Agatha:\u003c/strong> \"Fetch me a pistol.

It was one of the few segments in the show through which the entire arena remained on its feet. The song kicked off with harmonica, rather than the album version’s New Orleans-style horn intro, a down-home touch that hearkened back to country music’s early, and incidentally African-American, harmonica hero \u003ca href=\"http://countrymusichalloffame.org/Inductees/InducteeDetail/deford-bailey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deford Bailey\u003c/a>.

And it was no small gesture for an artist whose performances of physicality have become iconic in R&B and pop realms — from her leotards to her magnetic dance choreography — to don a sheer, floor-length gown whose puffy sleeves Loretta Lynn might appreciate and, in a visual display of solidarity, stand next to the Chicks, who were anchored to instruments and mic stands.

It’s nothing new either for the CMA Awards to present crossover pairings that, in a sense, position major country acts to vouch for the country-friendliness of pop heavyweights. (See: last year’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/see-chris-stapleton-and-justin-timberlakes-stunning-cma-awards-duet-20151104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">much-discussed collab\u003c/a> between Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake, or 2013’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-615/5800832/zac-brown-band-teams-up-with-dave-grohl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">between\u003c/a> the Zac Brown Band and Dave Grohl.) But Beyonce’s “Daddy Lessons” was written and recorded entirely independently of the country scene, and her performing partners, the Chicks — who’d been regularly covering her song — no longer have the ambassadorial heft of the format insiders they once were. They’ve kept a safe distance from the Nashville establishment ever since the radio rejection that followed lead singer Natalie Maines’ 2003 on-stage comments about President Bush. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2016/08/18/490497693/dixie-chicks-host-a-joyously-defiant-girls-night-out-in-nashville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Until a few months ago\u003c/a>, they hadn’t headlined Nashville in a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Beyonce, the Chicks and their combined band took the stage deep in the awards show, some may have experienced it as an interruption in the honoring of country stars past and present, especially given that it came immediately before a lifetime achievement nod to Beyonce’s fellow stadium-filler Kenny Chesney, comprised of a speech from Peyton Manning and an admiring tribute video; without a performing component, it couldn’t help but seem subdued in comparison to the high-energy musical interlude that had come just before. But Beyonce’s turn also brought a certain symmetry to the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interaction with other forms of popular music — as opposed to isolation from them — is a source of pride, not to mention one among many drivers of stylistic evolution, in the mainstream country world. Crossover impact has been one of the great achievements of the award show’s penultimate honoree, Dolly Parton, who was feted with a medley of hits, like “Here You Come Again” and “9 to 5,” that landed her on the pop charts and a standard, “I Will Always Love You,” that’s had a second life in reinterpretations by pop superstars of color, Beyoncé \u003ca href=\"http://rare.us/story/beyonce-attempts-to-slay-a-dolly-parton-country-classic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">included\u003c/a>. It’s worth noting too that two of the five singers paying tribute to Parton, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWCZB08UW0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reba McEntire\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XTXHvae10o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennifer Nettles\u003c/a>, have also dipped into Beyoncé’s catalog on occasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “Daddy Lessons” performance was preceded earlier in the night by Maren Morris’s explicit incorporation of African-American gospel stylings into her breezy country-pop gem “My Church” and Keith Urban’s smolderingly stark rendition of his throwback soul single “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” And shortly after Beyonce sang with the Chicks, Dwight Yoakam and Chris Stapleton revisited a successful country-soul collaboration with a cover of “Seven Spanish Angels,” a Willie Nelson and Ray Charles duet that became a country hit in the mid-’80s. That wasn’t Charles’s first foray into country music, of course, but it was his highest charting one. (The complexities of Charles’s track record with the genre, and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dukeupress.edu/segregating-sound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impact\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"http://uncpress.unc.edu/books/12833.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">race\u003c/a> on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674416598\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">categorization\u003c/a> of American \u003ca href=\"https://www.dukeupress.edu/Hidden-in-the-Mix/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">music\u003c/a> in general is too much to wade into here, but there’s plenty of important work on the subject.) To have Beyonce, a contemporary, southern-born, black R&B artist in the mix helped ensure the circle remained unbroken. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

In more recent times, a precedent’s been set for artists from other genres signaling their affinity for country music by \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7534100/lady-gaga-joanne-nashville-dive-bar-tour-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">making pilgrimages\u003c/a> to Nashville \u003ca href=\"http://nashvillepublicradio.org/post/bob-dylan-was-catalyst-nashville-cats-were-ones-who-changed-music-row#stream/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing rooms and studios\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/01/beyonce-daddy-lessons-country-music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enlisting the talents\u003c/a> of recognized Music Row pros or teaming up with country’s resident stars. It’s nothing new either for the CMA Awards to present crossover pairings that, in a sense, position major country acts to vouch for the country-friendliness of pop heavyweights. (See: last year’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/see-chris-stapleton-and-justin-timberlakes-stunning-cma-awards-duet-20151104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">much-discussed collab\u003c/a> between Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake, or 2013’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-615/5800832/zac-brown-band-teams-up-with-dave-grohl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">between\u003c/a> the Zac Brown Band and Dave Grohl.) But Beyonce’s “Daddy Lessons” was written and recorded entirely independently of the country scene, and her performing partners, the Chicks — who’d been regularly covering her song — no longer have the ambassadorial heft of the format insiders they once were. They’ve kept a safe distance from the Nashville establishment ever since the radio rejection that followed lead singer Natalie Maines’ 2003 on-stage comments about President Bush. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2016/08/18/490497693/dixie-chicks-host-a-joyously-defiant-girls-night-out-in-nashville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Until a few months ago\u003c/a>, they hadn’t headlined Nashville in a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Beyonce, the Chicks and their combined band took the stage deep in the awards show, some may have experienced it as an interruption in the honoring of country stars past and present, especially given that it came immediately before a lifetime achievement nod to Beyonce’s fellow stadium-filler Kenny Chesney, comprised of a speech from Peyton Manning and an admiring tribute video; without a performing component, it couldn’t help but seem subdued in comparison to the high-energy musical interlude that had come just before. But Beyonce’s turn also brought a certain symmetry to the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interaction with other forms of popular music — as opposed to isolation from them — is a source of pride, not to mention one among many drivers of stylistic evolution, in the mainstream country world. Crossover impact has been one of the great achievements of the award show’s penultimate honoree, Dolly Parton, who was feted with a medley of hits, like “Here You Come Again” and “9 to 5,” that landed her on the pop charts and a standard, “I Will Always Love You,” that’s had a second life in reinterpretations by pop superstars of color, Beyoncé \u003ca href=\"http://rare.us/story/beyonce-attempts-to-slay-a-dolly-parton-country-classic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">included\u003c/a>. It’s worth noting too that two of the five singers paying tribute to Parton, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWCZB08UW0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reba McEntire\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XTXHvae10o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennifer Nettles\u003c/a>, have also dipped into Beyoncé’s catalog on occasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That wasn’t Charles’s first foray into country music, of course, but it was his highest charting one.

To have Beyonce, a contemporary, southern-born, black R&B artist in the mix helped ensure the circle remained unbroken. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

So the character was a 10-year confession, perhaps indulging ego and appetite through the person of this character. Then you go onstage as yourself and you're responsible for everything you say and there's a natural inclination to pull your punch because you have to be responsible for what you're saying. You cannot hide behind the mask. ... It took me a little while to realize that the character was not in danger of re-emerging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the work pace of \u003cem>The Late Show\u003c/em> compared to \u003cem>The Colbert Report\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We would talk about a single subject maybe for a week, or we would think about one idea that we might do three or four days from now, or maybe two weeks from now as we developed the idea and how my character might put himself in that news story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it's how fast can you talk about everything that happened in the news or in popular culture in the last 24 hours, and it's much faster than we used to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The joke I've made is that we went from go-kart to NASCAR, with all the advertising stickers on the side of our car, too. But it's a different, much faster way of working than we used to. It's less essay; it's more like reportage with jokes than a columnist. I used be like a columnist and now I'm writing daily headlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how he handles the stress of the job\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You got to like the stress. ... I don't know how to attach a positive feeling to stress and pressure, but there is one. There's a bulletproof feeling that comes over you, and it's really a pleasant one, and you kind of have to like that. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do one of these jobs, you got to kind of love the flaming toboggan ride of it. You got to like it because everybody else is in the toboggan with you. You're doing it together, that's the joy. Everybody is doing it together and at the end of it you go, 'Hey! We survived! Pretty good show! Let's do it again tomorrow.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's it. It's the movement forward, because it never stops. You gotta love the downhill hurtle. There's no finish line. You got to just love missing all those trees that you could've hit today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Listen to the full interview!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People with \"black-sounding\" names were significantly more likely to have drivers cancel their trips before they arrived to pick them up. Black men were twice as likely to have their trips canceled.
