You've nailed it. Great post.
All you have to do to corrupt the press is to get a 4in1 printer at Staples for fifty bucks, buy a couple books of stamps, get another e-mail address, then set up an event with enough booze and fat food to satisfy their cravings for 24-hours, and you get something in the paper about like this report. They have to go, they can’t survive in the manner they would prefer through honest effort. Small town folks, don’t you all have a couple folks who have come back home for rehab or residential care whose resumes list important publications, but whose brains are fried. They are the ones who consistently bring up the most vacuous liberal socialist talking points, most discredited years ago, and get a few passes because they came from “good families” and got an education at a prestigious institution where they never learned s#!t from Shinola.
