So there were 2 stories in the media this week that seemed to get the left and the media (wait! those are the same aren’t they?) in a bit of a tizzy. I found both to be rather silly myself but hey, it must have been a slow news week. I mean, there really is nothing else going on around the country or the world that might be more important, is there?
With the exception of local, I rarely watch the news anymore. In fact, it’s been this way since the 2016 election that I’ve rarely tuned into any of the cable news channels. It actually started before then, when I discovered that most of the cable channels viewed our previous President as The Second Coming. Sickening sycophants . Not much has changed.
Is it time for all of us to take a second look at social media and how we all use it? Maybe. I’ve been on Twitter since 2011 and although I left for a while (because I became an addict) I still find these platforms as useful. I see a lot of diverse opinions about everything political and social and to be honest, even though I may not agree with a particular persons take on something, it makes me stop and think.
I’ve always been interested in the US obsession with prosecuting Julia Assange. Yes, I know that Wikileaks have in the past published information it has received that has embarrassed or comprised national security of the US. What though is this prosecution based upon?
I can’t stand it. I just have to write about an arti
cle I just found from last summer concerning the DNC email leak, aka, the “hack”. I’ve never seen this one but then I don’t regularly read far left media. Maybe I should start.
