I sympathize. It is difficult to be “woke” by profoundly disturbing news. I don’t know anything about this source site, never heard of them, but reading the article it sounded like a democrat, where he says he razzed his room mates in DC about Newt Gingrich having an affair.

Doesn’t take long to realize many will let the faith down and in many places religion is more a lucrative industry than a calling, and we must be cautious and braced to be let down, where money, fame and a little power can corrupt our good sense and reason.

I read it as he was razzed by his roommate saying that the Democrats had the goods on Gingrich, and would use them if they felt threatened. From the article:

“I moved to Washington to work as a journalist for The Washington Times when I was 25. I lived in a group house on Capitol Hill with five other people, including a couple of Democrats. We all got along well. When the GOP took over Congress in the historical 1994 sweep, I taunted my Democratic housemates (in a friendly way) with jibes about “Speaker Gingrich.”

One of my housemates, who worked for a Democratic House member, told me, “We’re not worried. We know that Gingrich is having an affair. If he pushes too hard, we’ll drop the bomb on him.”

That looks to me as confirmation of the media simply being part of the Democrat organization (with a few exception such as The Washington Times). We have seen it happen many times, and it is why Republicans have been so gunshy about doing substantive reforms. A Republican jaywalks, and they are unacceptable for office; A Democrat can be caught doing major felonies, and they get a pass.

It has been going on for at least 50 years, if not 80.
