B-Man Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 ANOTHER REPORTER PAYS FOR TDS https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/11/another-reporter-pays-for-tds.php You probably have heard about the ill-fated Newsweek tweet that implicitly criticized President Trump for spending his Thanksgiving holiday golfing and tweeting: It turns out Newsweek was not amused. The reporter, Jessica Kwong, has been fired. She tells her side of the story: Kwong told the Washington Examiner that she was assigned to write a story about what the president was doing on Thanksgiving a week in advance and filed it to her editors on Wednesday. Then, she explained that she sent a message to the editor on duty with the president’s latest actions and the editor published the piece. That editor decided to have a reporter write a new story on Trump’s surprise trip to Afghanistan, and neglected to update Kwong’s original piece in a timely manner. The root of the problem, of course, is that Newsweek, like pretty much all news outlets, is interested in bringing down President Trump, not in reporting the news. This is why we see such mistakes in the press, over and over, and always in the same direction. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 TRUMP’S SOCIAL MEDIA GAME IS GROUCHO, AND THE PRESS IS MARGARET DUMONT: “Donald Trump Campaign Disputes Claim that Photo of President as Rocky Balboa Was ‘Doctored.'” Team Trump was witty enough to say, “Washington Post claims – without evidence – that @realDonaldTrump shared a ‘doctored’ photo.” That’s not — as Newsweek imagines — a dispute of WaPo’s “claim” that the photo did not show the real body of Donald Trump. It’s making fun of WaPo for saying what didn’t need to be said. I believe it is also intended as mockery of the use of the phrase “without evidence” in reports on the impeachment hearings. And it’s hilarious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a young reporter, I knew the rule without understanding its significance. I only knew I was not permitted to express my opinions in my stories. Those were the days when copy was edited by hand and if you veered into editorializing, editors simply crossed out the offending words.

I've been reading about the Bolshevik revolution, and the utter hatred for, and brutality toward those whose only crime, often times, was philosophical disagreement, is so dark and disturbing. I see that same hatred manifesting itself in ways I would not have dreamed could happen here. Totalitarians don't seek to improve the condition of the workers, they seek to control and exploit them to elevate themselves as the ruling class. The talk of the workers' plight is marketing/propaganda similar to WMDs as the reason to invade Iraq, the sinking of the Lusitania to enter WWI, or global warming as a reason to enact global taxes. I understand why they want power, and kill/suppress those who are seen as obstacles, but the genuine hatred for people who don't want to be slaves perplexes me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my younger years I rebelled against religion, and found it perplexing that those who seemed most grounded in reality disproportionately held an unquestioning belief in a deity whose very existence was substantiated only by the ancient texts of a primitive society. It was not until many years later that I realized why. I attribute part to the inherent human need for purpose that is largely provided by religion, but is often substituted with political ideology by the irreligious. I think your observation about having a moral grounding outside of one's own whims may be even more significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
