Juror#8 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Crazy how much rancor we have in our politics. It’s so bad. I wonder if we revert back to the mean at some point or if politics is irretrievably lost in this beastly, meaningless, partisan, place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 NO, SHE’S MERELY EXPOSING IT. Media fret: Kayleigh McEnany undermining journalism ‘credibility.’ In the Columbia Journalism Review, Bill Grueskin rapped McEnany for her tactics…His top complaint seems to be McEnany’s criticism of the media, a tactic he said she uses to pivot from questions she doesn’t like. “Gamblers would call such an episode ‘the tell.’ McEnany demonstrated that her goal isn’t to respond directly to these questions, or even to engage in a dialogue about journalistic ethics. It is to throw up so much chaff into the media’s radar that even the most basic critique is deprived of meaning,” huffed the professor. I’m so old, I can remember when leftists approved of deconstructionism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, this is still tame compared to politics in the 1820's and 1830's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The New Moralists Take Over Journalism by Christine Rosen Original Article The New York Times op-ed page has featured contributions from Vladimir Putin, pedophiles, and the Taliban without a peep from the paper’s staff, so it might seem odd that an opinion piece by Senator Tom Cotton was the one that would spur a professional revolt. But Cotton’s op-ed argued for using the American military to help local police quell violent unrest in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. In the eyes of hundreds of Times staffers, that view—shared, according to one poll, by 3 in 5 Americans—could not be permitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those battles were the growing pains of the new republic and there was little foreign influence. I think a more appropriate time frame is Post-WWI era when Stalin started seeding communist sympathizers across the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 A judge on Tuesday granted Robert Trump a temporary restraining order halting the publication of Mary Trump’s upcoming tell-all, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man. The injunction marks the first, tentative win for President Donald Trump’s younger brother in his war to stop the publication of his niece’s memoir, which The Daily Beast revealed earlier this month would contain allegations embarrassing to the First Family. The Trump siblings have maintained that the book, to be published by Simon & Schuster, violates the confidentiality clause that Mary Trump signed off on in the settlement of family patriarch Fred Trump Sr.’s estate.
