Who is Princess Doe?

January 12, 2022

On July 15, 1982, in the rear of Cedar Ridge Cemetery in Blairstown, New Jersey, the body of a young white female between the ages of 15-20 was found by a gravedigger named George Kise. It has been said that the young girl could also be as young as 14. 

The girl was lying on her back over a steep bank that led to the creek below. 

The girl’s face had been bludgeoned by an unknown object, making it impossible to recognize. Her eye colour is undetermined due to this. She was around 5 feet 2 inches tall, and around 110 pounds at the time of her death. She was the first unidentified decedent to be entered into the National Crime Information Center. She has been known to the public as Princess Doe.

There have been various reconstructions done of Princess Doe, some depicting her with blonde hair, and others with brunette hair. Investigators believe the most recent reconstruction of her has the most accuracy. 

The girl was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, and a peasant style skirt was found lying on top of her legs. No undergarments were found nearby or on her. There was no evidence of sexual assault, though this is difficult to determine because of exposure of the body. 

A gold cross necklace was found tangled in Princess Doe’s hair, and she had two earrings in her left ear. Red nail polish was painted on her right hand, but not her left and she had no surgical scars, birth marks or tattoos. If she had any scars or marks on her face or head they would not be determined due to the the face being unrecognizable. 

Princess Doe’s front two teeth were slightly darker than the other teeth. The girl’s appendix and tonsils were both intact and she was determined to not have been pregnant or had ever given birth in her life. A forensic anthropologist determined she was most likely between the ages of 14 and 18 at the time of death. 

A toxicology report did not reveal any traces of drugs but was slightly inconclusive due to the time lapse between the death and discovery of the body. The body was either discovered 2-3 days after or even weeks, it was hard to determine because the weather was extremely hot and humid at the time. 

There was trauma on her hands and arms, determining that the girl likely fought back or tried to defend herself against her attacker(s). 

For years, many believed that Princess Doe could be a teenager named Diane Genice Dye, from San Jose, California, who went miss on July 30, 1979. This theory was popular among law enforcement officials in New Jersey, who even at one point held a press conference identifying Diane Dye as Princess Doe. Lt. Eric Kranz, who was Princess Doe’s original lead investigator claimed that Diane Dye was not a viable candidate to the identity. Diane’s own family also believes she is not Princess Doe, and in 2003, DNA from Diane’s mother determined that she was not. 

In 1999, a man named Arthur Kinlaw, and his wife, Donna, came in the spotlight as potentially being the people responsible for Princess Doe’s murder. Donna had been arrested in California for attempting to commit welfare fraud using the name “Elaina” which was traced to a Long Island woman. 

Police questioned this woman and she gave them details about the murder of a girl named “Linda.” This testimony put Arthur and Donna behind bars, and Donna confessed to two murders that her husband had committed, of two females who were unidentified. 

Arthur was then facing a death sentence, and Donna told police that he had killed another woman, a sex worker in 1982. Donna claimed she was with Arthur in the cemetery and watched him kill her. Donna also said that in July 1982, Arthur had brought home a teenage girl, left the home and returned later without the girl. He apparently had disposed of his clothing and cleaned his car. He supposedly threatened Donna, telling her that if she didn’t go to her job he would kill her like the other girl he brought home. 

However, there was a lack of corroboration so Arthur Kinlaw was not charged. Lt. Stephen Speirs, a member of the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office, said that Arthur had claimed responsibility for the girl’s death but there was no physical evidence. 

Speris also did not believe the confession from the Kinlaws because they did not have a name for Princess Doe despite having spent a period of time with her. Speris does not believe Princess Doe was from Long Island. However, Donna did meet with a forensic artist who created a sketch of the girl she claimed to have met, and it does resemble the most recent composite of Princess Doe. 

Others believe that Princess Doe could be a runaway and might have been using false names while working at a hotel in Ocean City, Maryland. Six people came forward with who they suspected Princess Doe to be. In 2012, a sample of Princess Doe’s hair and a tooth were examined through isotope testing, and determined she was most likely born in the United States. 

The sample of hair indicated she lived around 7-10 months in the Midwestern or Northeastern US. The tooth indicated she could possibly be from Arizona. It was also believed that she may have spent a long period of time in Long Island. 

After seeing images of Princess Doe’s clothing, a woman reported that she saw a girl wearing the same clothes on July 13, 1982, two days before the body was discovered. The woman said she was shopping with her daughter at a store across from the cemetery. The shirt and skirt were traced and found to be from a manufacturer in the Midwestern US, though the brand labels were missing. 

Three other people reported that they had bought similar clothes at a Long Island store that is now closed. It is unknown if the store was specifically in Long Island or possibly had multiple other locations. Princess Doe’s body was exhumed in November 2020 using a grant, and she is currently undergoing DNA extraction to be used in genetic genealogy. 

Princess Doe was buried on January 22, 1983 after being unidentified for 5 months. Donations were used to pay for her coffin and headstone. On July 15, 2012, a memorial service was held for the 30th anniversary of Princess Doe’s discovery. Over 100 people attended, as well as reporters and cameras. The victim’s clothing and reconstruction photos were displayed for the public to view. 

Princess Doe has remained unidentified for almost 40 years, and no one has ever been convicted of her murder. Many John and Jane Doe cases have been solved recently, as genetic genealogy testing has been improving extraordinary, though it takes time. Because Princess Doe’s DNA extraction began in November 2020, I am hopeful that results will soon be released. I have a feeling that without a doubt, Princess Doe will have her name back soon.

ive been listening to pvris again and same soul (minus the romantic stuff) vibes v reincarnation au imo. them *lies down on the floor*

also, i’m working on an eret-specific playlist!! any recs? i dont listen to a lot of artists so im struggling a bit

(see attached goose and elaina image. it is not relevant but it is important)

Oh my goodness... Uhhh...

Unknown to You and You Keep Me Going from Jacob Banks. Unknown to You kind of fits Eret's guilt about their past, You Keep Me Going is more of a romantic song but when I listen to it I hear Eret speaking to regret.

Androgyne by Quartango will always be my go-to for Eret instrumental angst. Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart from Mitski is another good song! Dandelion by Gabbie Hanna has good vibes too!

For artists that cc!Eret has listened to on stream, Tardigrade Song by Cosmo Sheldrake gives me big Eret feels, especially before the betrayal ("Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?").

Uhhh those are all the ones that come to mind for now! I have to really think on this more!

Thank you for the Elaina and Goose omg

How caothic are the game night at the Fudo, Atlas and Hogan house (today board game is: Monopoly)

Fudo house:

Kaori is most of the time in charge of the bank bc she hates losing

Hikaru’s got a strange luck when it comes to monopoly

they usually invite over Risa, Claire, Ken, Elaina or Taka when they’ve got time (or they bring out the game when they’re already there)

Taka used to come more often when he and Kaori were together, obv

Aki and Yusei used to join more often in the past bc it was useful to teach them the basics of economy 

Also they would catch the flying houses Kaori would throw in Hikaru’s face (she doesn’t care about their age gap. She really doesn’t.)

I might have bias bc I grew up as a twin but anyway

bad jokes: “Hey dad ended up in jail!”, “Kaori, no...”

Atlas house:

Carly LOVES it bc it gathers the family together

Rikiya owns the bank most often bc he likes bullying everybody

Taka (un?)surprisingly likes it a lot

Risa is a bit lost at times, but she’s got luck on her side

Carly is the most dramatic about it

Jack doesn’t play unless someone begs him to

Carly is so happy when she has guests bc she can play with more people and drag Jack more easily to the table

Hogan house:

the winner is whoever can tolerate Elaina to the end (she’ll learn, give her time)

Elaina goes for actual financial strategies. Too back she’s very unlucky and that hurts her pride so much

Claire is so LOUD and laughs out loud so MUCH

Ken used to play a lot. He avoids it at all costs in the present time. He’d play only with guests when they ask him to

Claire loves the tiny houses and all the small gadgets. They’re too cute.

Crow and Sherry play a lot with them too! They both find it funny

Crow is victim of the jail jokes even more than Yusei

Beside the shenanigans, it’s a joyful moment for most of the family. Claire’s good humor is contagious

They invite the Fudo and Atlas kids very often, so that’s the house where the biggest monopoly battles happen

they also learned that they can never put together Rikiya and Kaori again. Things went flying. Claire cried bc one of the gadgets went lost. The damn play board was ripped in two. Never again.

From The 'Dear God' File

"

"Back in 2019, as only the patriarch of the world’s most delusional family could, Donald Trump told The Atlantic about all the jobs that he’d wanted to give his daughter Ivanka, ones for which she wasn’t even qualified to do an unpaid internship. Ambassador to the United Nations? Ivanka “would’ve been great,” just “incredible” at the job, Trump explained to reporter Elaina Plott. “I even thought of Ivanka for the World Bank,” he added. “She would’ve been great at that because she’s very good with numbers. She’s got a great calmness...I’ve seen her under tremendous stress and pressure. She reacts very well—that’s usually a genetic thing, but it’s one of those things, nevertheless. She’s got a tremendous presence when she walks into the room.”

But according to a new report, Trump was actually dead serious about naming Ivanka, of the Ivanka Trump clothing line, the president of the World Bank—and had to be stopped from doing so.

Trump very much wanted Ivanka as World Bank president, and it was [Treasury Secretary Steven] Mnuchin who actually blocked her ascent to the leadership role.

“It came incredibly close to happening,” said one well-placed source."

elaina so pretty she could ask me for a dollar and i would give her all the money i have

If Elaina asked me for a dollar I would convert my entire bank account for her

What’s hot now? Manga Publishing Trends in North America

Everything! Manga has become popular across mainstream and so genre interests have greatly widened over the last few works. Of course, genres like horror, action, and such have remained some of the best-sellers but every genre has seen interest in today’s world. Indy works included!

Things to note about the industry: 

One issue some publishers have with licensing for print is you may connect with a series that will only have a set number of volumes. It’s hard to invest when you aren’t sure how long the series will last, which is why companies like Mangamo prefer digital. Using digital platforms, the cost of print becomes non-existent and can allow companies to expand their pub-list without necessarily breaking the bank. While print is unlikely to disappear, there will probably be a huge push for digital moving forward across all of publishing.

ANATOLY VESELOV

Sitting in the driver’s seat of her car, Elaina’s thumb swiftly flicked across her phone screen, a small smile playing on her lips as she looked down at the photographs. 

Her and her father, her and Noa, her and Tahir.

It was all Elaina had not to stuff her phone back into her pocket and drive back home. Instead, she opened the glove compartment opposite her and tossed her phone inside, locking it for added measure. The only thing the Commandant was banking on for this to work was to keep her identity a secret. Her signet ring was at home, safe and sound in her jewelry box next to her engagement ring. Or, rather what should have been her engagement ring. The Rutherfords had made sure to take that opportunity away from her. The Russians had stormed into town, not only wreaking havoc on the city but going after the people Elaina loved most.

While Daniel beating the pulp out of Maksim had been satisfying, it wasn’t enough for Elaina. She wanted them to suffer.

Stepping out of her car, Elaina checked her reflection in the side mirror before walking the few blocks up the street towards the pub. It wasn’t very full, which made spotting Anatoly that much easier. Taking a deep breath, she managed to plaster on the most convincing smile she could as she approached his bar stool.

“Is this seat taken?” she asked, eyes glancing over at the vacant stool sat beside him.

POLITICO Playbook: The case for tuning out the White House

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/politico-playbook-the-case-for-tuning-out-the-white-house/

POLITICO Playbook: The case for tuning out the White House

A FEW DATA POINTS TO PONDER WHEN CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WHITE HOUSE …

— THE WSJreported a few days ago that the president was looking to buy Greenland. The White House brushed it aside, saying it was just idle chatter, and then PresidentDONALD TRUMPsaid: “It’s not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that.” The president also said bluntly: “We’re going to Poland and then we may be going to Denmark — not for this reason at all.”

THEN TUESDAY NIGHT,the president pulled out of a trip to Denmark, because the prime minister said Greenland wasn’t for sale.

— THE WASHINGTON POSTreported Monday evening that the White House was considering pushing for a payroll tax cut to juice the economy. Shortly after that, the White House said to ignore the chatter, because there were many ideas floating around, and this was no more serious than any of the other proposals bouncing around the building. Then the president said this Tuesday: “Payroll taxes — I’ve been thinking about payroll taxes for a long time.”

— THE PRESIDENTsaid for a week or two that he was serious about bucking his party and pushing Congress to create a new background-check system for gun purchases. He said he was going to listen to both Republicans and Democrats and get something done in the wake of the tragedies in Dayton and El Paso. Then on Tuesday, he called the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and told him he would not be pushing for new background checks, The Atlantic’s Elaina Plott reported.

IF THE PRESIDENT MAKES A PROCLAMATIONand then reverses, what is the use of the proclamation in the first place?

WE DID A ROUND OF PHONE CALLSTuesday to people in Hill leadership and at the White House to find out how seriously we should be taking the payroll tax idea. The answers ranged from “not seriously” to “no one has any information on it.”

— CONSIDER THIS: BARACK OBAMAsigned a payroll tax holiday into law in early 2012 after a frantic December trying to squeeze it through a divided Congress. What hasTRUMPpassed through this divided Congress — the one that’s on the brink of impeaching him — that gives you the inclination he could get this through?

Good Wednesday morning. SPOTTED:Paul Ryan on a delayed flight from DCA to Chicago.Pic

THE PRESIDENT’S FOREIGN POLICY …

— WAPO: “Trump postpones Denmark trip after prime minister declines to sell him Greenland,”by Felicia Sonmez, Anne Gearan and Damian Paletta: “People familiar with the president’s interest in Greenland said he had been talking about the potential purchase for weeks.

“Senior administration officials had discussed the possibility of offering Denmarka deal in which the United States would take over its annual $600 million subsidy to Greenland in perpetuity, said two people familiar with the talks who were not authorized to reveal the internal deliberations. They also discussed giving Denmark a large one-time payment as well to incentivize the transfer, the people said.” WaPo

— CNN’s @kylieatwood:“Trump & Macron spoke over the phone today & agreed they wanted to invite Russia to the G7 next year, a sr admin official said. Trump is expected to broach the topic w/ world leaders at the G7. Today Trump told reporters it would be ‘appropriate’ for Russia to re-enter G7.”

— THEY’RE BACK! … WAPO’S PAMELA CONSTABLEin Kabul andKAREN DEYOUNG:“The U.S. is nearing a deal with the Taliban. But another major threat looms in Afghanistan: The Islamic State”:“The official government line here is that the Islamic State has been defeated.

“The local branch of the extremist Sunni militia,Afghan officials say, has been corralled into a mountainous area near the Pakistani border by Afghan and U.S. forces and can no longer control populated areas. They say it has been reduced to staging suicide attacks against ‘soft’ targets, like the wedding party bombing here on Saturday that killed 63 people and wounded 190. …

“But local leaders in the border provinces of Nangahar and Konartell a different story. They say Islamic State forces continue to terrorize villagers in areas under their control, forcibly recruiting boys and banning girls from school. They and U.S. officials say that Taliban and Islamic State forces have continued to fight each other, but that they also fear that some Taliban fighters will join the more ruthless Islamic State forces if Taliban leaders make a deal with U.S. officials.” WaPo

READING FOR JARED AND GREENBLATT … NYT’S TOM FRIEDMAN: “How the Palestinian-Israeli Peace Process Became a Farce”:“Last week’s ugly mess involving the abortive visit to Israel of two Democratic congresswomen was useful for only one reason: It exposed how much the Palestinian-Israeli peace process has become a pathetic festival of magical thinking, performance art, reality denial, political fund-raising and outright political fraud. It’s become about everything except what it needs to succeed: courageous, fair-minded, creative diplomacy and leadership.

“At the official U.S. level, Jared Kushner has spent three yearsginning up a peace plan that he still won’t show anyone. So far, his only achievement is an Israeli-Palestinian economic conference in Bahrain that no Israeli or Palestinian officials attended.

“Kushner actually seems to believe that the problemcan be solved by the Israelis and Gulf Arabs funding a leveraged buyout of Palestinian aspirations for sovereignty and statehood. Kushner deserves some credit for fresh thinking about how to attract investment to the West Bank, but he lapsed into magical thinking when he allowed all the diplomatic features of his plan to be dictated by the political needs and desires of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.” NYT

— AP’S JONATHAN LEMIREandDARLENE SUPERVILLE: “Trump: Any Jew voting Democratic is uninformed or disloyal”:“Showing a fresh willingness to play politics along religious lines, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that American Jewish people who vote for Democrats show ‘either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.’

“Trump’s claim triggered a quick uproar from criticswho said the president was trading in anti-Semitic stereotypes. It came amid his ongoing feud with Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, both Muslim.

“Trump has closely aligned himself with Israel,including its conservative prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while the Muslim lawmakers have been outspoken critics of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Tlaib is a U.S.-born Palestinian American, while Omar was born in Somalia.

“‘Where has the Democratic Party gone? Where have they gonewhere they are defending these two people over the state of Israel?’ Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. ‘I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.’” AP

NEEDLESS TO SAY:Jews — like everyone else in America — are not subservient to an ideology, political party or person.

WHAT DINA POWELL’S UP TO … FT: “Goldman Sachs claws its way into contention for Saudi Aramco IPO,”by Anjli Raval and Andrew England in London, James Fontanella-Khan in New York and Simeon Kerr in Dubai: “Goldman Sachs has clawed its way into contention for a role in Saudi Aramco’s planned stock market listing, after a months-long charm offensive by top executives, including former Trump administration official Dina Powell, said several people briefed on the matter.

“Ms Powell, who left Goldman in 2017 to work at the White Houseand came back to the Wall Street bank a year later, has leveraged her knowledge of the region and relationships with the kingdom’s highest authorities to seek business for Goldman, said one person close to the Saudi state energy giant.” FT

HEADS UP … NYT’S MIRIAM JORDAN:“As early as Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security is expected to issue a sweeping new set of regulations for detaining migrant children, replacing more than two decades of protections that were put into place as a result of what happened to Alma and her fellow detainees in 1985. The new standards could allow the government to detain children and families for longer periods, revise the minimum standards of care and end the 22-year-old consent decree, known as the Flores agreement, that has protected the nation’s youngest and most vulnerable new arrivals.” NYT

SCOOP … NANCY COOK: “Trump team braces GOP donors for a potential ‘moderate and short’ recession”:“At a fundraising luncheon this week in Jackson, Wyo., headlined by both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney acknowledged the risks to the GOP elite behind closed doors. If the U.S. were to face a recession, it would be ‘moderate and short,’ Mulvaney told roughly 50 donors, according to an attendee.” POLITICO

2020 WATCH …

— CHICAGO TRIBUNE: “Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg’s overwhelmingly white crowd at event on Chicago’s South Side reinforces his struggles to draw support from black voters,”by Bill Ruthhart: “South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg held a self-described grassroots campaign rally in Bronzeville on Tuesday night, but the overwhelmingly white audience he drew to the event in a historic black neighborhood reinforced the difficulty the Democratic presidential hopeful has had in connecting with African American voters.

“Buttigieg did not acknowledge the makeup of the audiencein his remarks or in answering questions from the 1,000 people at the sold-out event, but did touch on it briefly as he closed the hourlong rally with a plea for his supporters. ‘Find the people who don’t look like most of you in this room and let them know they have the chance, not just to support this campaign, but to shape it,’ Buttigieg said.” Chicago Tribune

BIG CASH ALERT(big July donations):RNC:Sheldon and Miriam Adelson gave $142,000 each. …NRCC:Sheldon and Miriam Adelson gave $142,000. …NRSC:August A. Busch gave $110,000.

TOP-EDS …

— REP. LIZ CHENEY (R-WYO.)in theWAPO: “How to lose a war, but not end it”:“President Trump knows a bad deal when he sees one. He extricated the United States from President Barack Obama’s disastrous nuclear accord with Iran. He pulled us out of an arms-control agreement with Russia that Vladimir Putin repeatedly violated. But if news reports are accurate, the State Department is about to capitulate to the Taliban, al-Qaeda’s longtime ally, as U.S. forces are withdrawn from Afghanistan. The president should reject this deal.”

— MITCH MCCONNELLin theWSJ: “We Stand With Hong Kong”

DANIEL LIPPMAN: “Inside Trump’s feud with Anthony Scaramucci”

— BTW … WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHNNY MAC? … PER DANIEL:Earlier this summer, Scaramucci let Trump’s former body man, John McEntee, use his office for six weeks. “He is creating a lifestyle app and he just needed to have a place to hang his hat for a little while,” Scaramucci explained.

— BACKSTORY:After McEntee left the White House in March 2018 over concerns about his gambling habits, he was named “senior adviser for operations” on the Trump campaign. But he quietly left late last year, according to a former White House official. (Although he’s friends with Scaramucci, McEntee is “by no means is a Mooch sympathizer” in Scaramucci’s current feud with Trump, this person said.)

THE JUICE …

— NEW GEORGETOWN INSTITUTE OF POLITICS AND PUBLIC SERVICE FELLOWS: Jonathan Burks,Paul Ryan’s former chief of staff … former Kansas Gov.Jeff Colyer…Olivia Alair Dalton,SVP of communications and marketing for the Human Rights Campaign …Karen Travers,ABC White House correspondent …Stephanie Valencia,co-founder of EquisLabs.

THE PRESIDENT’S WEDNESDAY: TRUMPwill leave the White House at 11:15 a.m. for Andrews, where he will fly to Louisville. He will arrive in Kentucky at 1:25 p.m. and go straight to the Galt House Hotel. At 2 p.m., the president will speak to the AMVETS 75th annual convention. At 3:05 p.m., he will leave the hotel for the Seelbach Hilton Louisville and will participate in a roundtable at 3:15 p.m., and speak at a fundraiser at 4:15 p.m. At 5:25 p.m., he will fly back to Washington. He’s due back at the White House at 7:10 p.m.

JULIA IOFFEinGQ: “The Summer of Warren”

MORE 2020 … “Outside money flows into race for Susan Collins’ Senate seat,”by AP’s David Sharp and Brian Slodysko: “Money is pouring into Maine’s high-profile Senate race, threatening to upend the state’s reputation for genteel politics and giving way to a new era of partisanship. … Advertising data shows Democrats plan to spend at least $1.2 million on ads through December, including a spot that aired for the first time this month that accuses Collins of failing to protect Medicare. A newly formed GOP group, meanwhile, has $800,000 already in the bank, thanks to a small group of wealthy financiers.” AP

EPSTEIN LATEST — “Jeffrey Epstein lawsuits offer sordid details, including sex while on work release,”by the Miami Herald’s David Ovalle: “While serving a lenient jail sentence in Palm Beach County, wealthy financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was allowed to leave jail for ‘work release’ — at an office at his own organization, the Florida Science Foundation.

“But at the foundation, according to a newly filed lawsuit,Epstein and his web of associates repeatedly arranged for sex with at least two girls, including one he met when she was 17.”

— BOSTON GLOBE: “At MIT, more fallout from the university’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein”:“A well-known member of the MIT Media Lab plans to resign over revelations that the research center and its top leader took money from Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased financier who was accused of trafficking in underage girls.

“Ethan Zuckerman, director of the lab’s Center for Civic Media,last week told officials at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology of his plans.” Boston Globe …Zuckerman’s Medium post

MEDIAWATCH — “Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Show Loses More Advertisers,”by NYT’s Tiffany Hsu: “The Monday episode of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ the host’s first since he left the airwaves for what Fox News said was a planned vacation two days after making the remarks on white supremacy, had fewer commercials than usual.

“There were spots for turmeric drink mixes, ear wash systems and cup-holder mountsfor smartphones, as well as ads for Dyson, Raymour & Flanigan and USAA, but none for products from SoFi, Calm or SteinMart. Those companies advertised on the program earlier this summer but said in statements in recent days that their commercials would not appear during Mr. Carlson’s nightly hour.

“A Monday night episode from one year ago,the broadcast of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ on Aug. 20, 2018, had 16 minutes of ads, with 38 commercials that aired across the nation, according to iSpot.tv, the television ads measurement company. The Monday night episode this week, by contrast, had 13.5 minutes of commercials, with 23 nationally aired spots. Eight of the 23 were promotions for other Fox properties.” NYT
