Dear MSM – Trump Won’t “Become” A Traitor The Moment YOU Realize He Is One, He’s Been One ALL ALONG
I’ve spent a ton of words here, trying to put my finger on why it is America’s press consistently fails to adequately report the story we’re all living through. The answer to my question, ultimately, is perspective. Our MSM (not their fault, really) have no perspective on an historical event so monstrous, so huge, so…

Republicans Are The “Mission Accomplished” Party; That’s Great Until You Realize What Their “Mission” Is…
Who can forget W aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, May 2, 2003 – proudly proclaiming just what the banner behind him said: “Mission Accomplished”. That image haunted W’s presidency. It haunts him to this day because nothing had actually been accomplished. The only thing they’d succeeded at, mission-wise, up to that point was successfully hanging…

The Problem With Coming Late To The Party
Think back to election night 2016. I bet you can still recall that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when it hit you that the impossible – Trump “winning” the presidency – had just happened. Some of us saw that sick feeling as more than just disgust at a bad election result. It…

Telling Trump-Russia From Trump’s Point Of View Is As Dumb As Telling A James Bond Movie From Blofeld’s Point Of View
Every time a journalist on the TV frames the chaos we’re living through from Donald Trump’s point of view, I want to scream. And I often do. If you ask a liar if he’s lying and the liar lies (says “no, I’m not lying”), are you doing anyone any favors by telling their story without…

Dear MSM: Donald Trump Doesn’t Stop Being A Traitor Just Because You Aren’t Telling THAT Story About Him
It’s bad enough what Donald Trump is doing to the country, the Constitution and the American People. It’s compounded daily by the MSM’s inability to get ahead of this story. Or grasp it at all. Not only do they report it from behind, they report it from well behind. They’re the clean up crew scraping…

Dear MSM – Donald Trump Isn’t The Only One Betraying The Constitution
A few minutes ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Adam Schiff gave a remarkable news conference. In addition to reminding the American Press that Democrats routinely walk and chew gum at the same time (maybe the Press CAN’T do it – and assume the Democrats can’t either), Speaker Pelosi framed the Impeachment Question as a…

Donald Trump Isn’t Just “Worse Than Watergate”, He’s Watergate’s “Unfinished Business”
On the one hand, Watergate was merely a cover up of a second rate burglary, the cover up being the crime that brought Nixon down. But, on the other, Watergate was also a prosecution of the political culture that made the second rate burglary a viable political option – committing an actual crime to undermine…

Why Do Journalists Think Americans Can’t Do Two Things At Once?
I don’t know about you, but my life’s complicated. My days are complicated – usually because I have more than one thing to do. Being an adult with a little life experience under my belt, I’ve learned how to multi-task on a macro level. For instance: I can earn a living AND raise a family…

Dear Stephanie Ruhl: FFS, Hon – Stop Giving Our Lying Scumbag POTUS The Benefit Of The Doubt!
Hey, Steph – sorry to call you out like this but today you said & something so egregious that it demanded comment. Frankly, this applies to lots of your fellow journalists; they need to listen up, too. You’re a talented financial journalist, Stephanie. Your bona fides there are top notch. But when you wade into…
