“Journalism had some simple rules for reporting the facts about anything — and it’s hilarious that anyone thought it required a graduate degree from some credentialing mill like the Columbia U. School of Journalism.”
EXACTLY - just about anyone with a 4-year college degree is qualified to write clearly enough to be a ‘journalist’, which leads to the answer of why we have the “Journalism Schools” - and that is to INDOCTRINATE.
A good indication that Republicans, at the lower levels, are SERIOUS about reforming the media will be when state “Journalism Schools” are shut down, along with degrees and related classes. And that is something that I have yet to see.
Truth seekers struggle constantly to know truth, but it's asymptotic; we can approach it nearer and nearer but probably never know it completely, unless perhaps that's what the Hindu/Buddhist concept of enlightenment/nirvana is, or perhaps the Christian concept that one day we may see God.
I suspect the meme generators are the psychologists at the Tavistock Institute. All it takes to coordinate the output is email.
William Kunstler wouldn’t have written something like this in a million years, but now I understand the confusion and the world makes sense again.
“America is so punch-drunk from official lying that many intelligent people who ought to know better now proclaim that reality is unknowable”
Not to worry, sooner than later reality will get it’s revenge on these IYI, Intellectuals Yet Idiots, as Taleb Nassim calls them.
It’s already started.
Excellent summary of the questions we all have...Hopefully we’ll get answers to at least half of them.
“We are about to find out how a whole lot of mystifying things have happened in recent years. For instance, those fantastic vote switcheroos in “Joe Biden’s” favor that occurred visibly right on TV in the wee hours of November 4, 2020? How did William Barr conceal the existence of Hunter Biden’s laptop from Mr. Trump’s defense attorneys in the 2019 impeachment over a phone call to Ukraine? Who really has been making “presidential” decisions behind the false front of “Joe Biden?” Who in White House news reporters’ pool among the Cable News networks, The New York Times, and The Washington Post happened to know which officials were running the White House operation (did they not have sources)? How did the FBI engineer the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and with how many agents and operatives on-site? Who was in charge of the DNC pipe bomb caper? How has George and Alex Soros’s network of money-dispensing NGOs been allowed to buy law enforcement offices all over country? How did Merrick Garland’s errand boys get to New York Attorney General Letitia James and Fulton County DA Fani Willis? What has been done with the billions of dollars sent to Ukraine? Why is the CDC still advertising and promoting mRNA Covid vaccines that they must know have killed and disabled millions of people? Who thought it was a good idea to fill the ranks of the US military with transexuals? How did the order to throw the US-Mexican border wide open move through the chain-of-command, exactly?”
