War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Media big-wigs of the MSM are finally circling around to reality journalism of calling Republican lies as ‘lies,’ and not ‘falsehoods, or ‘inaccurate claims,’ or some such nonsense, but f*cking-ass lying. The process has been long in coming and should have been a part of proper reporting for years. Not only of the natural-as-breathing liar…
Just weeks following his election in 2008, President Obama did a couple of things that both pissed me off and let me down — one was naming Tim Geithner as treasury secretary (and later Larry Summers as head of the National Economic Council), idiot assholes that shit on any ‘change‘ anyone could ever believe in…
Finally off the shit list — today Merced County where I live skipped up a notch from the worse in California. From the Merced Sun-Star this morning: Merced County officials say they received good news from the state on Wednesday, as they were given permission to move into the red tier for reopening the economy.…
Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…
Another Monday in the life as the US continues to unwind itself from the coils of a crazed pandemic and four horrific years of the T-Rump madness where everything went to shit in a big bucket. One notable continuous wonder in this new Joe Biden age is Jen Psaki and the near-daily press briefings. Instead…
Some dangling participles today from Joe Biden’s first presidential press conference with an emphasis on reporters not really doing their jobs (I touched on this yesterday) and seeking out shit not needed to be sought (via a review of the event at CJR): Dan Froomkin, the journalism critic, said that the presser created the impression that as…
Questions from White House reporters at Joe Biden’s first press conference today were a bit one-sided and seem to carry a right-handed approach to political shit, with some observers calling for them to do a better job. The reporter’s reality is to the people: Journalists are supposed to work really for the truth and present…
Our nation can rest easier now that Joe Biden held his first press conference this afternoon, and from all indications he aced his initial session with reporters — one outstanding item missing, however, was inquiries on the pandemic, which most-likely suggested the fight against it was going smoothly (as much as anything that’s killed a…
Now that the American Rescue Plan has passed both Houses of Congress and heading for Joe Biden;s signature to combat the wide effects of the COVID pandemic, it’s way-time for passage of For the People Act H.R. 1, which will protect our democracy: This historic legislation responds to twin crises facing our country: the attack…
In this age of bullshit out in the open, our media is not doing a real good job of reporting on the reality of what’s actually occurring in front of our collective faces. The airwaves and InterWebs allow ‘alternative facts‘ to play out in the same fashion as genuine/verified facts, like a lie needs space,…
