The Rule Of Law Matters — Unless You’re A Republican – Or In The Main Stream Media
Not A Revelation — The story we’re all living through (the extended Republican-Russian coup d’etat dressed up as a bad reality series) is light years beyond what our befuddled Main Stream News Media can handle. “Both Sides Do It” journalism has so distorted their perspective that they don’t see the threat to their own existence…

Our Problem Is We Keep Solving The Wrong Problems
You’re hot. You think: open the window — that will solve my problem. But your house is on fire. Opening the window will solve nothing. That’s OUR problem. Our house is on fire — the Republican Party is trying to burn it down. And, while the Democrats are desperately trying to put the fire out,…

The Problem With “Doing Nothing”…
Got a problem? Doing nothing will not solve it. That’s a stone cold fact. That’s not to say you can’t get lucky — and time resolves what your inaction didn’t. But that wasn’t you solving your problem, that was you hiding from it until a solution presented itself. Not the same thing. One of the…

Trump’s Criminality Isn’t Up For Debate Anymore; Now The MSM Needs To Connect The NEXT Dot – REPUBLICAN Criminality
By the time Adam Schiff gavelled the House Intel Committee’s business closed yesterday, the case he and the Democrats were making was well past being made. Never mind what any Republican says about acts being bad (maybe) but still not impeachable. Divorced from politics, the information we’ve learned during the past two weeks — much…

The MSM’s Need For “PIZZAZZ” Is What’s Screwing Up American Journalism
I bet NBC News’ Jonathan Allen wishes he could have that one back — the piece he posted on NBC News’ site that panned Day One of the Impeachment hearings because they lacked “pizzazz”. The firestorm’s been pretty relentless, boring in hard on that one word: “pizzazz”. To Allen’s credit, he encapsulated the American news…

The More Perspective One Has, The More Criminal Trump & The GOP Look
I suppose if you suddenly sprang into being right next to Donald Trump — so his essence, his aura, his version of the world was all that you knew — HIS version of the world might seem possible. But step outside the treasonous bubble of Trumpism — and a 2 X 4 of realism goes…

The Reason Both Sides Don’t “Do It” Is Because Both Sides Aren’t The Same
Our news media insists (all evidence to the contrary) that the only difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the letter next to their name. No, they’re not the same. Of course they’re not. Republicans, being conservatives, want to CONSERVE. Being as you can’t conserve the future, conservatives want to conserve the present but…

Dear American Press: Please Get This – Truth Will Always Outweigh Bullshit
It seems so damned elemental it shouldn’t need explaining: Truth and lies are entirely different things. Being made of reality and real stuff, the Truth always has heft. The Truth can be unbearably heavy at times. Bullshit on the other hand — while it looks like it weighs a ton — weighs nothing. That’s what…

What Both Sides Actually DO Do…
When all this is done & dusted, I want us to promise ourselves that we’re going to enshrine in law the illegality of “Both Sides Do It” journalism. The Chuck Todd-ification of American journalism has not worked out well for us because (Duh!) it’s based on bullshit — and the nincompoop notion that everyone and…

Dear MSM – Get This Through Your Thick Skulls: It’s NOT “Political”
The worst part of Both Sides Do It journalism is its stupid assumption that everything must be political. That’s the dopey go-along with “Every argument has two sides”. People may express two sides but that doesn’t mean there are two sides — and it certainly doesn’t mean that if there are “two sides” that those…
