Terrible journalism example from CNBC: "More than 100 killed after strongest quake this century hits western Colombia" gives the impression that this was the world's strongest earthquake this century, which is completely false. It's Colombia's strongest quake. East to fix. Lazy.
@ScottyWayne Guilt or innocence doesn't matter. This is a POS who gets off on physically pummeling women. That is not disputed. I find your POV repugnant. I hope no women come anywhere near you.
@wjz "'I Just Want People To Know': Rabid Coyote Attacks Teenager in Baltimore County, Warns Others To Be Cautious." Isn't the bigger story here that there is a talking coyote in Maryland? @JessicaAlbertTV
So, you're lazy and ignorant and your life, understandably, sucks. Someone tells you it's someone else's fault and the seed is planted. And it grows. #racism
@Alyssa_Milano I think many white people (full disclosure: I am a white male, age 53) see this and see the name (Latin) and think, "Oh, okay, it wasn't us, so it's sad but not tragic." How do we recognize this disconnect and fix it?
@Alyssa_Milano The child's name is Pineda, so I'll bet Texas Senator Ted Cruz's kids don't even consider it a tragedy. That's the future. Do white Texas kids care about this? Do they know? Can they relate? Can this child's death serve some purpose?
#NancyPelosi was the keynote speaker at my BA graduation in 2002. I don't always agree with her reaction to things, but she has honor, character and grit.
@DodgersNation Right. He also thought becoming a drug-dealer's errand boy was a good career move. Not sure why anyone would listen to a guy like that. Let's move on.
#SuperBowlHalftimeShow If the aliens are watching, they are fully justified in vaporizing us. Objectifying women while my daughters watch with me, and they're not even really playing! It's fake, except for the crotch-thrusting. We are a gross people.
Jefferson and Hamilton are considered to be the founders of modern conservatism and liberalism. And they shared a common view about the crucial importance of free and unregulated news reporting. They agreed on little else.
Americans must have "the liberty of publishing truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends, even though it reflect on government, magistrates, or private persons," Alexander Hamilton, 1804.
“... were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” - Thomas Jefferson, January 16, 1787
