I can't finish the article. Stupid, stupid people think they can control a woman's body when they have no right to do so and it's wrong. It's her body to do with it as she so wishes just, like as man does with his when he decides to rape a woman. And the law does nothing. He then should have his penis removed but it isn't. Is it? He's just a bad boy and told to go on his way. I know I'm blathering on and on, but it's his body to do as he wishes to do with as he pleases so it should work the same with a woman as well and leave politics out of it all together, period! Work on getting guns off the streets first. That's what killing innocent people.

The media continues to choose profit over its mandate to inform. This leaves the public swinging in the breeze. Trumps allies know this and they are familiar with the pay window.

Could it be the media is so afraid of offending this group or that so they print/say the kind of crap were seeing these days?

Mary, did you watch the PBS special on #45? (Sorry I avoid saying his name) it was fabulous. It proves why he is who and what he is. A true unadulterated lowlife!! Roy Cohn trained him well. He is now a duplicatel of Roy Cohn.

Roy taught him to go in the offensive. Don't accept any blame or accusations. Deny, delay, distract, don't give in, throwback, pushback, doubt admit any guilt and sue. And #45 has and is doing all of that to this day. He is disgusting as a human being.

No empathy, no ethics and no morals.. Love your podcasts and now this forum.

While I commend your rage against the machine of media, you must know your cause is lost. Yes, they enjoy the freedom of the press but are oblivious to the fact their own reporting is propping up their own demise. Yes, their greed guides their headlines and not truth in reporting. True journalism is lost unless some rich person or cooperative group gets together and creates a new media. Maybe it could become a beacon of truth and light in a dark industry but the established msm will fight newcomers tooth and nail.

Additionally, I am pissed off how Kamal Harris is going around preaching about body autonomy and was first and foremost mandating death shots for everyone including our Military. Hypocrisy at its highest!

“Jefferson believed in the necessity of a free press as a watchdog to keep citizens informed and involved in government affairs, but the press had an obligation to accuracy in reporting. In Jefferson’s words: "Since truth and reason have maintained their ground against false opinions in league with false facts, the press confined to truth needs no other legal restraint.”

The lying, race baiting, science illiterate, fake news MSM talking heads of the evening news, am talk shows and morning papers were so humiliated by Trump’s democratic 2016 win that after shitting on him for four years they poisoned the 2020 electorate with fake climate crisis, a fake scam-demic and fake racism in an anti-democratic media coup d’etat.

The irresponsible, anti-democratic, US press is the poster child for why third world despots kick their shit-stirring “journalists” out of helicopters into the Atlantic.

Rights have responsibilities.

For a free press those responsibilities include factual, objective, balanced, etc.

Read your own code of journalistic ethics and actually follow it.

Betray those responsibilities and forfeit those rights.

Democracy is majority rule by mobs manipulated by the lying, race baiting, science illiterate, fake news pretentious MSM talking heads of the evening news, am talk shows and morning papers.

Which is why the US is a constitutional republic not a democracy.

Fifth grade civics.

Oh, right, no longer taught.

I will be voting even though my vote for Biden/Harris won’t actually count in SC where I live. It scares me that now we’re being told our votes in November are the only way to stop dump from winning. Can we feel secure that the Repubs won’t have sabotaged the national voting process by November?

Your condemnation of the media is incorrect because whether that's your intention of not, you are negatively criticizing ALL media. That would be self-criticizing, because by publishing this newsletter, you too are the media, therefore condemning yourself. Condemnation of ALL media gives rise to the mantra of that crowd of dangerous actors who chant "we can't trust the government; we can't trust the media." But that not true. We CAN trust the media (Rachel Maddow and Mary Trump, for instance) and we CAN trust the government (NOAA comes to mind). So far, all the media and all the government, have not yet been bought and paid for by the misinformer class.

Billy Ray has recently been quite vocal about messaging.. hopefully someone in charge will take his points to heart.

I’m a Catholic former reproductive care RN who practiced in 🇺🇸, if you want the deal about abortion in 🇺🇸, I would be happy to debunk the junk I hear from Chris Sununu on Jake Tapper’s The Lead today.

Does you uncle ever remind you of Humbert, Humbert. He reminds me of him and I know Vladimir Nabokov wouldn't have intended the re-make of Lolita I'm now watching.

How does a man who is heading up a cult get to use the White House rules to be "Voted For" and run an election as a Republican? His son said this is the end of the Republican Party. So why does he get to use it as his soap box??? The Security Laws don'[t allow spies in this Country, yet one is openly trying to take it over. Where are the Federal Marshalls who should be putting him in jail or extraditing him?

Does no one else remember the TV interview years ago (maybe on 60 minutes) when Donald was asked if there should be any penalty for a woman who had had an abortion, he suggested that jail time would be appropriate.
