NBC News has managed to fact check another Trump statement. Apparently Trump called a famous horse a 'Junky' but NBC News quickly pointed out the horse had no choice in taking the drugs...



Solid work there gentlemen taking the powerful to task!

Nice to see The Intercept going strong after they kicked out Glenn Greenwald for being too right wing. Releasing some video to EXPOSE those dastardly right wing reporters chronicling Leftist violence at BLM and Antifa Mostly Peaceful Protests.








When historians look back and talk about the things that caused the fall of the first american republic the media and news organizations in general will get quite the lions share of the blame.

Most of us will still be around by the time this all plays out; it'll be interesting to see how it's going to be remembered.

That's rather optimistic.

Frankly I expect most of our generation will die before we hit 60, and life expectancy is unlikely to get better again soon.

And that's before large scale violence ( civil war or foreign war) starts getting factored in.

So enjoy what's left of your lives as the world burns around us.

The problem is activists are cheaper then actual reporters, the news agency cut and cut and now their non functional Ideally they need to be allowed to die so they can be replaced by some thing that isn't shit.
Journalism is also a self-selecting career. If you do your job well you wake up with a bullet in the back of your head. If you whore out you get lauded in awards and feckless praise from your fellows. I eagerly await an era when Pulitzer is spoken with the same revulsion as Quisling.

USA Today Commentary by David Mastio with this hilarious headline.



Clearly he doesn't think the comparison crazy. Kevin McCarthy and that QAnon Shaman Guy are more of a thread to American lives then Al Qaeda apparently. Sad.

Oh and apparently David Mastio identifies as a Conservative. He's done fine work on their Editorial page clearly.


It's a common theme trending among the left and progressives. To quote an SV user "the right wing is the most dominantly overwhelming threat to our democracy". It's an othering tactic.
