You can disagree with me but calling me “naïve” is a personal attack.
I do not respond well to personal attacks.
This story is just one report, and not from sources I trust, if it’s just the Associated Press and some outfit in Australia.
I was a newspaper reporter for 25 years — a real reporter, not one of these left-wing hacks. I go where the facts lead me. And that means not jumping to conclusions.
And believe me on this point — I’m not going to draw conclusions from any single story. I’m always looking for multiple sources. A wise old managing editor taught me: “If a story sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
A lot of things that happen in the news are subject to multiple interpretations. Perhaps McConnell may have said he’s open to base re-naming just because he doesn’t want to give the enemedia an opening for further provocation?
I don’t know. But I admit that I don’t have enough facts in front of me. I also admit that events can often be interpreted in various ways.
Sad to state, I’ve noticed that a lot of FReepers are indulging in emotional reasoning on these threads. We’re not as bad as our enemies on the left, but dangerous times demand keeping a cool head.
When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?
