How sad: the editors of the New York Times gave the Ok to a piece by Trump's yes-man, the Republican Senator from the State of Missouri, Joshua Hawley. This elected coward is probably dancing in the streets around the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. for the information coup he succeeded in bringing his byline to the American public. The RNC is probably holding his hand so he won't trip on a curb stone, fall, and damage his cowardly hide. He could be/he is the new Party face.
This disgusting human being wasted his education(degree in History from Stanford U.). He seems to have been educated at Liberty U., or some other bastion of conservative thought. Or maybe he should have enrolled at the University of Phoenix, the diploma mill that siphoned off billions in government loans to students who where conned into thinking they were being educated and told their diplomas would open doors to a career that would reward them handsomely. That didn't happen. But getting back to the NYT.
On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal published a "letter" signed by Donald Trump. In this fabricated piece, he repeated allegations that the 2020 presidential election was a fraud, and in Pennsylvania, there existed the biggest fraud. And why did the editors think this was a good thing: to print these patently false statements again? What was the thinking? Fairness? Certainly not. Truth telling? ditto. Balance? Please. Trump is the ultimate coward, hiding behind a Constitution that he rebukes at every turn. Rex Tillerson, Trump's appointed then fired Secretary of State, said it very succinctly: "Trump is a moron". All published letters are scrutinized, analyzed, fact checked, reviewed, and then reviewed by editorial page reviewers. Then a decision is finally made. Perhaps the editors have rolled over: we need more money from Big Corporations. See the full page ads in the WSJ. Hmmmm. Can we accept that the media thrives on dollars alone and content is an after thought? It seems so. As the internet has turned journalism into a blood sport, the results are easily grasped: instant communication without scrutiny or judgement results in chaos and mob mentality. Congress is finally being forced to accept this new information landscape. Facebook, too. It has just changed its name from F-book to META. Why? Too much bad press; too much negative thinking around the old flag name. Zuck has been told: "Put up a screen"; the press will become confused. As an example, Phillip Morris, the nicotine seller / lung cancer purveyor, changed its name awhile ago and the company still is in business despite its product(s) killing hundreds of thousands of innocent victims each year. And now they are selling 'smokeless" nicotine products called vapors to vapers.
So, the history professors down on the "Farm" in Palo Alto will hide their faces today, avoid the faculty lounge, and pray that Hawley doesn't remind his constituents, again, that he was a history major at Stanford University, which has a tree as its mascot instead of the former mascot, the the Indian.
