Dear American News Media: Why Do You Always Mark Republicans On A Curve?
Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign took a hit when she was cornered into showing receipts for how she would pay for getting every American health CARE. The grinding irony — this is never a question Republican candidates ever have to grapple with. How we’re gonna pay for the next Republican tax cut is always obvious —…

The Reason So Many American Journalists Suck At Journalism Is Cos They Suck At STORYTELLING
Ever hear someone massacre a joke? They trip all over the set-up and blow the punch line then wonder why no one’s laughing. That’s America’s news media — except it’s not a joke they massacred, it’s the truth. While everyone has a story, not every can tell a story — or tell their story. What…

Japan’s Pearl Harbor Surprise Attack Wants To Teach Us A Lesson About Right Now; Will We Listen?
We think of WWII starting for Americans the moment the Japanese attacked our Naval base at Pearl Harbor. That’s not entirely accurate. The Japanese arrived at Pearl Harbor and started bombing it — killing Americans & doing grave harm to our navy. But the Japanese didn’t just suddenly appear at Pearl Harbor. They had to…

Dear American News Media: Here’s How You Can Tell It AIN’T About “Politics”…
Let’s cut to the END of the chase, shall we? Both sides DO NOT “do it”. Both sides DO NOT commit TREASON in order to hold onto power and impose a permanent state of minority rule. Both sides don’t do it because one side doesn’t HAVE to. They can sell their ideas to America. That…

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 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 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…
