Per my view, Jeb needs ignoring. It’s nice that he has lost weight to look attractive to us. He’s a reasonably attractive man. I think he should stay in Florida.
Gracias.
That pic is so awesome, it looks like a Norman Rockwell painting.
Jeb spoke about some project he started while Gov. I admit I really didn’t pay much attention. Sen. Cruz is on now. He’s talking about Constitutional rights - religious freedom. Defunding PP.
Cruz also talked about the Iran deal, mentioned the rally in Sept. and thanked Gov. Plain for her support in his Senate race.
You must understand, there is a reason why journalists tend “liberal” - and why journalists flock together.Fundamentally, journalists are critics rather than doers. Once fit into that mold, and you resent the dictum that “It is not the critic who counts . . .” - and you go after “the man who is actually in the arena . . .” Throw in O’Sullivan’s First Law and the fact that journalists all belong to the sameclubmutual admiration society (the Associated Press), and you have a recipe for “the MSM."
O’Sullivan’s First Law states that
All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. "An actual right of center network” would be one which did not position itself as “Fair and Balanced” but unapologetically as a conservative network. IOW, Rush Limbaugh.
And if Fox News Channel thinks it is treated as illegitimate by "the MSM,” they ain’t seen nothing compared to the way a Rush Limbaugh News Channel would be treated. FNC would be forced to decide whether to defend its turf on the right - or join the pack on the left against a Rush Limbaugh News Channel. And, on present track record, you would expect FNC to peel off to the “center” - i.e., the left.
Philosophically, you cannot expect to ever see an “objective” channel actually be objective. If you claim to be objective, that means that you don’t have to do the work and have the humility to consider the possibility that where you stand is affected by where you sit. Thus, it is legitimate to try to be objective, and to claim to try to be objective - but claiming actually to be objective places you among the tendentious.
Very interesting.
