One of the first things I predicted when the first print newspapers and magazines fell was that no one would catch the sneaky crooked politicians locally or nationally. Articles on “local council members profited from decision on land development” and “some knew of deadly chemical dumps going into water table before selling stocks in the company.”

Times change. I used to think that the worst a person could be was a lawyer. Years later that transitioned to ‘politician.’

It has finally settled down to “journalist.”

They are not journalists....They are propaganda tools with no real investigative skills which I naively believed a true journalist had,that and integrity.

Bidenomics is grabbing them by the short hairs as it is for the rest of the nation. Perhaps there is justice in this world.

Pass out picks and shovels and get them working on the border wall.

[SaxxonWoods]

There’s always a silver lining.

[outofsalt]

"Good start."

Not really... AI and blogs, maybe?

Great, 500 more Gender Studies degreed people out on the street.
