Sure hoping along with you that the pendulum swings back in the 'Raider' direction sooner rather than later. Also not waiting for the NYT to lead the charge : ) <br /><br />Let's revive the pamphleteer vibe of Thomas Paine and bring the news that's fit to print directly to The People! Print some copies of that letter and distribute to a few local churches and Rotary/Lion's Clubs. <br /><br />Not so sure about the lawyers/doctors though, "cast not your pearls before swine" and all that. The good ones are already onboard - the rest are too deeply vested in their trough. stranger in a strange landnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-2172034693548311932017-07-12T20:54:02.004-04:002017-07-12T20:54:02.004-04:00Subscriber to the New York Times for decades, I ar...Subscriber to the New York Times for decades, I argued against the Iraq invasions under BOTH Bushes (but for Krugman, the NYT was for it, all the way, even n 2003). Now, for several years (Before Trump) they have banned me, and will not even try to fake an answer when I ask them why.<br />So they are violating their fiduciary duty (official press).<br /><br />The tragedy of McCarthyism in the 1950s is now repeated as farce. Instead of Nixon and other rightwing fascists in the lead, the self-described "liberals" are in the lead. Thus revealing themselves even more ridiculous and indecent than Nixon and McCarthy (the USSR was a real enemy, and there was real spying going on).<br /><br />The fight with Trump is a sort of vaccination that most of the plutocracy, and ALL the media it owns, is using to try to imprint We The Sheeple upon the notion that they are not part of the global plutocracy...<br /><br />Notice that I have been banned by many MSM media and pseudo-left sites like Daily Kos (since 2009), and this has stalled the growth of my readership very efficiently... Thus the grossest ways work, just as they did under Nazism... <br />Patrice Ayme<br />https://patriceayme.wordpress.com/Patrice Aymehttps://patriceayme.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-39314624209663839872017-07-12T19:04:43.524-04:002017-07-12T19:04:43.524-04:00No matter how many new condiments the MSM dishes u...No matter how many new condiments the MSM dishes up to make Russiagate into a big deal meal, it still tastes like a giant nothingburger. <br /><br />Where's the beef? The hearsay 'evidence' in Goldstone's email stating Russian intentions? A bait and switch trick by a Russian lawyer to win a meeting?<br /><br />Who gives a rat's ass anyway? As they've done for months on end with breathless, daily Breaking News reports on the latest Trump lie, the MSM expects us to believe that until Trump came along, no one lied and certainly not His Awesome Awesomeness Obama, and there was no corruption, certainly not Secretary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation slush fund. <br /><br />Russiagate has been the biggest gift Hillary Clinton gave herself, having strategized to blame Russia from day 1 after her loss, and it's a gift that keeps on giving. All her shenanigans have been quietly swept away.annenigmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-83617693410220662482017-07-12T19:04:25.153-04:002017-07-12T19:04:25.153-04:00Mark Thomason pretty much has the "right"...Mark Thomason pretty much has the "right" of it in ré Donald J.

They create great stories out of nothing and disappear the real by simply looking away.<br /><br />So what if a big piece of ice just decided to float free from Antarctica, so what if most people on earth are rapidly getting more poor and more sick, so what if people are fleeing their homes in numbers not seen since WWII, so what if more than half of the US discretionary budget is spent on war? The papers remain transfixed by what they alone can see, which is what might have happened in the last presidential campaign, which still ain't over.<br /><br />"If a thing can now be deemed absolutely possible, then we're halfway home to reality itself." Karen's essay weighs the wisps of nothing events, the invisible threads being woven tight, and the countless possibilities that fuel the Russiagate story. The fact that those nonevents still hog the front page is accepted as proof that they are real.<br /><br />Her essay is in a class with Orwell's bare-bones dissections showing how lies broadcast with timing and gravitas become truth. Gifted liars on big outlets are the alchemists of our day. They prove that you can indeed turn lead into gold, at least to satisfy most of the people most of the time. <br /><br />Giving money––or even your time––to MSM media only encourages them. Here's a site that lists the big papers around the country beside a description of who is likely to be reading them on a regular basis. Are you in this picture?<br /><br />https://blog.agmon.com/2010/12/22/tell-me-what-you-read-and-ill-tell-you-who-you-are/<br /><br />Meanwhile, our attention is diverted from the real wolves at the door. The big papers and TV news are usually busy covering something other than existential threats for the many.<br /><br />Give up on the MSM. Make them disappear by your inattention. But what about the other organized groups with long traditions and good money who are also supposed to step in to defend the vulnerable? You know, the good side of America's Deep State. Nader has put out a call to the pillars of our society to stand tall in support of justice in these trying times. I can't wait until the NY Times picks up that story and gives more life to our better angels.<br /><br />http://mailchi.mp/nader/in-the-public-interest-a-clarion-call-for-our-countrys-pillars-to-demand-justice?e=dac918192dJay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-71147342244673441492017-07-11T13:08:20.631-04:002017-07-11T13:08:20.631-04:00Don, Jr. was offered proof that Hillary was collud...Don, Jr. was offered proof that Hillary was colluding with Russia. <br /><br />What would Democrats have done if offered the same sort of proof about Don, Sr., from a foreign intelligence agent quoting Russian intelligence sources?<br /><br />They were. They took it. It is called the Steele Dossier, and they shopped it all over DC, only very belatedly going to the FBI when nobody else would accept it. That finally got it public, when the FBI included it in a "secret" brief which was immediately leaked, become news because leaked from the FBI's secret brief on its existence.<br /><br />Voters are irritated that they keep hearing this stuff instead of what will be done for them, about things that matter to them. Add to that the extreme double standard -- they did what we did! -- and voters are going to reject again the "I'm better than Trump so hold your nose and vote for me" argument.Mark Thomasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-76846671420847034872017-07-11T13:01:29.777-04:002017-07-11T13:01:29.777-04:00"If you look at Facebook, the vast majority o..."If you look at Facebook, the vast majority of the news items posted were fake.
