Exactly! But here's where the dems step on rakes. Where is the coverage for these champions? It's like the dems whine about the disgusting msm, and so do I, but who the fuck is running their national media strategy ( if they have one). Not a day go by when we don't hear about Gaetz, MTFG, Gym Jordan, etc.

The msm is lazy and you have to dig deep, ( Slate, Atlantic, Salon) to get anything close to a fair shake. I don't want a press that is forever on their knees to anyone in power. I want them to do their fucking jobs. And getting the fuck out of the circle jerk that is DC would be a good start. I can't see how anybody watches those Sunday blow jobs.

Fareed Zakaria's Sunday program on CNN is often very informative. The New Yorker Magazine is another good source for well written and researched pieces. We have lost local journalism. That's a area requiring resurrection in various forms.

Thank you, Fern. I skipped the new Yorker cause I forgot. And what makes me sad, what the fuck happened with Matt Tiabbi and Rolling Stone.

You nailed it on local journalism. Those were the folks who let us know when the inmates were running the town asylum. Sad.

Matt Taibbi's been MIA for years now. once upon a time, he felt like he was pretty much on the side of the angels, but these past few years, he's been creating lots of false equivalences. I'm finding that you have to be very careful about relying on people who were doing good work fifteen or twenty years ago (or longer)...lots of them tend to go nuts. of course, they might be saying the same things about ME (if they think about me at all, which they don't). in which case, they're obviously completely fucked up.

Great to see you, MaryPat. Why does it feel night Sunday night to me? I know that you can't answer that. Zakaria mostly covers countries around the world. Hope you are doing well. When the time is right, I'd like to know how your niece is doing and her parents.. Salud, friend.

Great to see you , too Fern! Happy Birthday to me in 1 1/2 hours! (TC's, too!). And yes, weirdly, it feels like Sunday. Maybe cuz of the powerful sermons we heard and watched this afternoon!

Thanks for asking about my niece. She has graduated from the Notre Dame Cult, and is starting her real life. Fingers crossed.
