Going further and further into 1984. I shake my head in disbelief that big names can let their prejudice and illogic show without embarrassment or shame.

Dan Rather calls on journalists to report what Trump ‘really believes,’ not what he says
FTA:
To my fellow members of the press, I suggest we refrain from quoting the presidents words from prepared speeches into headlines and tweets without context, the veteran broadcaster tweeted to his 694,000 followers. He sometimes says the right thing. The real questions are what he does and what he really believes.
Finally! A voice of reason.
Jason Chaffetz: To stop more shootings, stop erasing criminal records of juveniles prone to violence
FTA:
In some cases these students suffer from mental health issues that make them fundamentally incapable of distinguishing right from wrong and their parents, school officials and law enforcement officials often know it.
At what point do such behaviors become too serious to erase? If these problems manifest in adults, they can show up in a federal background check.
Last year President Trump signed into law the Fix NICS Act to ensure states submit information to an FBI database in a timely manner involving individuals who are prohibited from owning a firearm.
But what about students who were minors at the time of their infractions? They dont show up in that database. They should.
The ability of such kids to legally purchase a firearm on their 18th birthday should be delayed until their case can be further adjudicated, if requested. Society could later consider restoring the constitutional right to bear arms, but only after review by a judge or some period of time (perhaps 10 years) passes with no additional infractions or serious mental health red flags.
We should debate where to draw the lines, but the notion that all is erased at the age of 18 no longer makes sense.
Wow. Don't report the ACTUAL news. Report the MADE-UP news.
And what better spokesman for this 'journalism' policy.

Dan Rather: Fake but asinine.
